Draw 50 Baby Animals shows artists of all levels how to draw with ease by following simple, step-by-step examples. Celebrated author Lee J. Ames shows you how to draw dozens of the cutest, most cuddly critters, including a wrinkly puppy, a galloping foal, a smiling piglet, a playful baby elephant, a fuzzy chick, and more.
 
Ames’s drawing method has proven successful for children and adults of all ages over the past forty years. The twenty-nine books in the Draw 50 series have sold more than 5 million copies and have shown artists from beginning to advanced levels how to draw everything from animals to airplanes. It’s easy to bring your favorite baby animals to life when it’s done the Draw 50 way.

In 1962, when I was an artist-in-residence at Doubleday, my editor, Bill Hall, asked me to write a book. "I draw, illustrate, paint. I can't write," said I. "We're out of art projects for you to work on, so, for you to work here, write!" said Bill. "Okay!" I said, and in a few months I managed to create a little book called Draw, Draw, Draw! To my surprise, it did well. That started it all...
As a result, twenty-nine years ago we published Draw 50 Animals, the first in this series, and now we offer you what is likely to be the last, Draw 50 Baby Animals.
