Sketch 50 amazing animals, step by step, in just 10 minutes each!

Draw all creatures 'great and small', including woodland, farmyard, aquatic, domestic, and wild animals using this stunningly simple, easy-to-follow book.

Guaranteed to boost your drawing confidence and skill, award-winning artist Jonathan Newey uses simple shapes, built up step by step, so that you can quickly and easily sketch 50 different animals from all over the world, including:

  • Brilliant big cats such as lions, tigers and cheetahs;
  • Feathered friends such as birds of prey, flamboyant flamingos and wise owls;
  • Playful pets such as adorable rabbits, loyal dogs and mischievous kittens.

Every project contains between 6 and 10 illustrated steps, simple instructions, and an inspirational 'colour me' tip box containing colour swatches and advice, in case you'd like to transform your finished drawing with colour. In Jonathan's case, coloured pencils have been used, but you could use whichever medium you like.

This book is perfect for beginner artists who've never drawn before and who want an easy guide to drawing their favourite animals; it's also a perfect prompt for more experienced illustrators searching for sketching ideas and keen to observe and recreate the character, poise, and energy of a range of species. 10 minutes at a time is all you need!

Other titles in this stunning new series include Draw in 10 Minutes: Botanicals.

Now Wilson has returned with an...

    'My favourite band. Ever! And certainly the best dressed.' Sam Neill Split Enz were never designed to fit.
