Animal Tracing: A Fun Drawing Exercise · Craftwhack

I idea of this drawing thought when I wrote the post about the Gillian Higgins, the equine anatomy expert who paints on horses.

In lieu of grabbing a wild animal and drawing all over information technology, I thought a printout might suffice. Tracing the brute shape gives you lot a good feel for the brute's proportions, and so you can putter or draw on your tracing to take it in any direction yous wish.

Fun-Due north-Easy.

The following animal images were all taken by me this morning.

No they weren't. I used Unsplash to find them, and each photographer is credited nether the animate being photos. You tin right or control-click to save any of these images to describe over, or get explore animals on Unsplash.

Keep an eye out for practiced overall animal shapes, and see how you tin trace the shapes, scribble over the whole silhouette, break it downwards into geometric shapes, etc.

I am surprised by how much I use my light box, simply you can certainly trace over your animal printouts past property (or washi taping) them up to a window.
