Drawings are clear and concise. A good book for a gift for a budding artist or someone looking to upgrade their skills,

Easy to follow, Great way to look at drawing. I really liked that I was able to draw images out of the book easily.

I am not an artist, and I love to draw. Many of my drawings are indecipherable. With this book, I was able to see the animals come through my attempts to draw. This author does a good job of breaking down the steps into easy to follow instructions. There are 75 different animals to try.

Ten Step Drawing: Animals by Heather Kilgour provides instructions for creating no less than 75 different animals. Each critter is done through, as the title suggests, ten simple steps. Each picture has little sidenotes with it, offering detail suggestions, or tips and tricks. From meerkats and great whites, to moose and goats, there's sure to be beasties to appeal to everyone. There are four different broad categories- Wild, Aquatic, Woodland, and Farm/Pet. I loved that two of the animals were dung beetles, and budgies. The beetles were the most amusing by far. This book is perfect for budding artists of any age!

After reading the Ten Step book about flowers, I had really low expectations for this one, however this book was better than that one. For one, the steps feel more like steps - although still not easy and  I couldn't connect with the drawings or the artist. But it was better and that's good!

Easy instructions for drawing a variety of animals like Wild animals. aquatic animals, woodland animals, farm animals and pets. Good for people who have some basic drawing skills/ knowledge

Ten Step Drawing : Animals is a very fun step-by-step guide that will be quiet helpful to artists who would like to draw realistic looking animals. Some of them were pretty easy to follow and the steps were explained very well.

This is a great book for simple drawings that can be made complex with the details.  I just loved how she walked me through step by step from simple to complex and there emerged an amazing animal out of it.  She doesn’t add a bunch more details than just what I need, which I liked.  There are also so many animal options to choose from.  Land animals and sea creatures.  I loved that she added so many options to choose from.  There’s bound to be something for everyone. Grab your drawing pencils and paper and plan to sit down with this book soon.

Ten Steps to Drawing Animals is a good book that would be nice for people learning to draw or for teaching students how to draw. It is a very easy guide and will help you out a lot. I have not one bit artistic skill whatsoever and even I was able to draw and create some cute animal critters.

This is a brilliant book that teaches you how to realistically draw a variety of animals.  The step by step instructions are very clear and have enough steps for the beginner to follow.  The results are very impressive and the method shown is easily transferrable.  The author also adds colour at the end if you want to include it in your drawing.  The book is suitable for adults and children alike.  Excellent.

I received this book from NetGalley for free in exchange for my honest review.
This was a decent book to look through and help get ideas on what I need to do to get started with drawing. One thing that is unique about this book is that you have a variety of animals to choose from instead of it just being domesticated animals or just wild animals. There's a good mixture of categories if you will. The drawing instructions themselves aren't that unique to other books, but then again there are only so many ways to teach how to draw. Just because it's not unique doesn't mean it's not good. The pictures are very clear as is the end result.

This is a drawing book that can be enjoyed by children and adults in equal measure. It shows how to draw a wide variety of animals by breaking them down into steps; starting with simple basic forms and then adding to/refining them to add appropriate detail. 

I found it very well done!

Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for the digital ARC of this edition. I offer my honest review. 

This is a beautiful book with simple, easy to understand step-by-step instructions for drawing 75 different animals. There is a nice variety of sea, farm, and zoo animals. I think the tone is helpful and the illustrated guides are easy to understand and a pleasure to look at. I enjoyed working through a few of them from starter shapes into more developed, detailed drawings. Colors are suggested, but each finished product is up to the reader/artist. This would be ideal for for people of any skill level and any age wishing to expand their drawing into the world of animals.

Remember those matchbooks that all had a picture on them and said "You can learn to draw" on them?  They all made you think you could draw and become a great artist if you just enrolled in their schools.  This book WILL teach you how to break down a subject and draw it without having to subscribe or pay a lot of money.  For the person who has always wanted to draw casually or the person who wants to expand their skills, this would fill their needs.  The simple instructions and illustrations will have you amazing you friends, relatives...maybe even yourself..in a very short time.

Educational, fun, easy to follow how to draw animals book!  I can't draw at all!  However, with the aid of this book I was able to draw fairly decent replicas of what was taught!  My Granddaughter loves to draw and had a blast with this book!

I had the same struggles with this book that I've had with most similar books-- in an effort to simplify each animal in to 10 steps, the complexity of the steps varies wildly. Might be alright for folks with some drawing skills/instruction already under their belt, but, I think, liable to be frustrating to a beginner.

Perfect for beginners or children! Very clear step-by-step illustrations, with cute results. I'm not much of an artist (unless you count Paint By Numbers, ha!) so I wanted to give this book a try, and see if even me, the most beginner-ish beginner could benefit from it, and I absolutely did.

Ten-Step Drawing: Animals by Heather Kilgour is a charming book that will bring joy to those liking animals and drawing of them. The ten steps required to produce each drawing are easy enough for anyone to master (at least with a bit of practicing) and will result in cute animal pictures. Maybe not the best guide to inspire your creativity, but very helpful to give practical means to get a certain animal drawn. The selection of animals is wide and varied from wild animals to farm animals. The book looks very pleasant through out and would be an excellent gift to a younger artist-to-be.

Draw a fox, a cat, a wolf, or a hippo in just ten steps. The ten steps show you how adding simple shapes can create a wild animal, or a farm animal or a pet. 

My 8 year old is highly interested in trying this out.

Very helpful book, I am not an artist but this book helped me learn how to draw animals. I loved it a lot.
