Children love animals, love to listen to their parents tell stories about the animal kingdom. Especially love to watch cartoons. Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck", "Black Cat Sheriff" and other fascinating images, so children also like to draw animal sketches. So as a parent how can we meet the requirements of children and guide children to draw good animal sketches?

To teach children to learn to draw animals, first of all, we must correctly guide children to observe animals. When parents lead their children to the zoo to play, will find that some animals are oval body; animals in the elephant's nose is the longest; spiny molester's nose is the most pointed; hippopotamus's mouth is the largest; giraffe's neck is the longest; rabbit's tail is the shortest and so on. While guiding children to observe, we also need to tell them more about animal knowledge and habits to help them find the pattern.

To draw good animal sketches, should start from the most basic oval practice. Because the children are very familiar with the oval, it is also easy to draw it, we guide the children to draw a good oval on the basis of the depth of the oval of the top and bottom of the left and right or inside or outside to add lines, some of the different forms of animals will be alive.

If the child draws an ellipse and adds a short tail at one end, a tadpole comes to life.

To draw a goldfish, first draw an oval body, then draw round eyes, draw a curved mouth between the two eyes, and finally draw a wavy line fish tail. Painting a frog is the same as painting a goldfish, first draw an oval frog body, then draw two round eyes, then draw four curved legs on both sides of the body, and a few stripes on the top of the body.

Some animals' bodies are not oval, but their lying posture is oval. Such as kittens, lambs, cows, foxes and so on.

If we draw a standing animal such as a big horse, an old cow, a lamb, a big rooster, etc., we can guide the child to generalize with other geometric shapes. For example, if you draw a cow, its body is rectangular and its head is inverted trapezoidal, and then you can just add ears, eyes, mouth, horns, tail and legs at the appropriate places. The body of the rooster is oblique triangle, in the appropriate location of the oblique triangle to add the mouth, eyes, crown, legs, claws and tail on the line.

Drawing animals should teach children to first draw some static, simple, children are more familiar with the animal. After practicing for a general period of time, then teach your child to draw some dynamic animals.
