Revisiting the animal theme that kicked off the series more than twenty-five years ago, Draw 50 Baby Animals brings you an amazing array of the most adorable critters on earth. This latest installment in the Lee J. Ames illustration dynasty features darling baby animals from the wild, the barnyard, and even the backyard that will delight children and parents alike, making it an ideal tool for mastering drawing skills either at home or at school.
Lee J. Ames’s signature step-by-step method shows you how to draw the cutest offspring in the animal kingdom with ease —from a fluffy chick and a shaky-legged fawn to playful puppies and sweet-faced kittens. His clear instructions help budding artists to explore their interests in a fun, familiar (and loveable!) way.
With over three million copies in print, the Draw 50 series has successfully shown children how to create everything from a robin to a spaceship, Tyrannosaurus Rex to skyscrapers, and UFOs to racing cars. Draw 50 Baby Animals is sure to captivate a new generation of artists and keep them endlessly entertained, sketching their newfound friends.
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.
