Watching ocean animals, and learning about them, creates a sense of delight and awe. Watch how they move, how they hunt, how they hide! Wouldn’t it be great to catch some of that excitement on your own drawings?

This book shows you how, with step-by-step instructions. You’ll be surprised how easy it is to draw, without tracing, a wide range of ocean animals.

About this title

Review

 The drawings are easy to do, and DuBosque offers lots of tips to make the end products look great. I especially like the drawing tips section at the end of each title. He also reminds the kids to save their work in a portfolio (that he provides the directions to make!). I highly recommend this title. I, who am not particularly gifted artistically , could create a pretty good ocean animal by following the instructions.

What can I say? - I can't draw, but with Doug DuBosque's instructions which a re practical and friendly to us non-art types, I can! This is his usual fine piece of work which will be dog-eared in months by those readers who have discovered him and continue to look for any additional books he publishes. Buy at least two copies!

Gr. 4-7--A useful, easy-to-follow instruction book. Directions are provided in the form of step-by-step, black-and-white drawings; youngsters start with a simple shape, add details, and later erase the lightly drawn basic shape. Pencil is the only medium explored. Tips include shading techniques and suggestions to observe the subject carefully. Very brief information pertaining to the ocean animals themselves is given as well.

Along with some lessons in marine biology, this oversize paperback is an excellent guide to young artists -- and aspiring artists. Using geometric shapes as a basis for drawing forms of sea life, even the unskilled can form recognizable turtles, dolphins, and eels. The admonition, "Draw lightly at first," must be heeded, It takes some tries before results should get finalized. Both a table of contents and an index are included.
