This book is a great starter for drawing and painting animals. I think adults as well as children would love this book as it's easy to follow and full of useful information. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Drawing and Painting Expressive little Animals is an excellent little book for adults or children looking to improve their animal drawing skills. The instructions are clear and step by step and it is very clearly illustrated. There are all sorts of animals from pets to wild animals and the projects are very appealing. This book would make a lovely gift.

Let's face it -animals are hard to draw! People wanting to draw and paint nice looking animals will find Amarilys Henderson's book really useful. It may still be a bit hard, especially for the absolute beginner, but I always believe that, as with anything, practice makes perfect.

I liked that the step-by-step drawings use a different color for each subsequent step so that you don't have to figure out what are the new steps. Every step-by-step drawing book should do that! I loved the style twists such as the flower wreaths and letterings in animal silhouettes. Those are fun!

As a visual person, I find that painting lessons are better in video formats so I always want to suggest that online access to videos be available, though I'm aware that it would make the book too costly. The step-by-step instructions and paintings are adequate in this book.

I was surprised to see that the colors listed in each painting are Dr Ph. Martins Concentrated Watercolors but I suppose you could use any brand of watercolors especially if you use different colors to express the emotion and expression of the animals as suggested by the author.

I enjoy the author's style a lot and look forward to her next publication!

Fantastic step by step book, that teaches people to not only draw the basic shape of an animal, but also how to do they fur, and their eyes.
Also tells you what equipment you should use etc too.
Little bit complex for me as I am truly awful at drawing so it's a little advanced, but would be perfect for someone who can actually draw but wants a bit of practice and finesse.

Clear step by step pictures and instructions make this book a stand out! The pictures are beautiful and the steps are really simplified for beginners. I love how the author has such detailed step by step instructions for both the drawing and painting of the animal.

This book is a gem for anyone wanting to learn to draw or paint animals better! Steps for completing each animal are very clear with written instructions as well as drawings to follow for each step. Between the covers of this book, you will find domestic animals, wild animals, exotic animals, and even birds. I loved the focus sections on eyes and expressions - super helpful! I can't wait to get my print copy in the mail so I can refer to it over and over! Thank you to NetGalley for the digital ARC.
