This is another collection of fun grid drawing with cartoon-like animals. They vary in degrees of difficulty, all broken down into six steps. The new lines are shown in blue in each step, to distinguish from the previous ones in black. I feel like some of them could have been broken down even more because they were a bit more intricate. And I do wish there were more blank practice grids in the back. But they are still fun to attempt as a starting point for drawing.

Thank you to the publisher for fulfilling my review request via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The first how-to-draw books I picked up were I Can Draw Farm Fun and I Can Draw Silly Sea Life. These were some of the simplest books to follow and combined both the grid method and step-by-step method. Each creature had a double-page spread with a step-by-step method layered on top of a grid on the left-hand page. On the right-hand page was a blank grid for you to practice with and a full color finished picture at the same scale, often with extra features added on such as flowers behind a bee or a pond around a frog.

I started out by drawing some of the farm animals in my sketchbook but also used these designs for another idea. By drawing some of the sea life creatures onto white card, I was able to cut them out and mail them to a family member to make them smile. I also altered the cartoon rabbit in the I Can Draw Farm Fun book so he was carrying chocolate eggs in his basket rather than carrots and sent him off in the mail for Easter.

These books contain a good selection of designs to draw with 17 subjects in each book. I Can Draw Farm Fun includes the usual animals you would expect like cows, sheep, and chickens but also more unusual ones like llamas and flamingos (no, I’ve never seen a flamingo on a farm either) and a handful of other farm-related objects like a house and a tractor. I Can Draw Silly Sea Life includes fish, seals, and dolphins but also a lot more cartoon-style designs like a surfing rabbit, a girl in a swimsuit and rubber ring, and a jellyfish wearing a snorkel.

These were some of my favorite how-to-draw books from this collection and I know I’ll be returning to them in the future. Two more books are also available in the series: I Can Draw Cute Animals and I Can Draw Things That Go.

I think this book would be great in physical form but it definitely doesn't work as an electronic title.

This is a fantastic book which demonstrates how to draw some gorgeous cartoon sea creatures. The drawing as easy to follow with lovely step by step demonstrations. Each silly sea creature is shown in six simple steps or less and is shown on graph paper, which makes it far easier to follow!

The characters certainly are silly sea life with some fantastically quirky drawings. There are drawing of: a whale blowing water, a surfing rabbit, a frog in a party hat, a fish, a hippo and even a jellyfish snorkeling! There are no written instructions but I don't think it needs it anyway. It's definitely a whale of time doing these step-by-step drawings.

This is a short basic book that shows kids how to draw "sea life" creatures. Some are not really sea life, but okay. The creatures are: a whale, a surf boarding rabbit, a frog with a birthday hat, a goldfish by a fishing hook, a hippo in a tank top and inner tube in the ocean, a smiling snail, an octopus wearing snorkeling gear, a sailboat, a hermit crab, a flamingo, a seahorse, a dolphin with a ball, a mermaid, an octopus in a birthday hat, a pirate girl with glasses in an inner tube, a lobster in a hat and a walrus with a ball.

There are no written directions. Each one shows the drawing in a series of steps, with the drawing done over a grid of squares. The drawings are in color. This Dover book is affordably priced at $4.99 and will provide some fun inspiration for younger kids.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review.

Thank you NetGalley and publishers for an ARC. All opinions are my own.

This is an easy simple guide on how to draw sea creatures and people. It breaks down each creature into 6 steps or less and uses graph paper to help guide artists on how to create each image.

Recommended for young artists and old!
