• it’s not about taking enough art classes.
• it’s not about finding a hidden gift.
• it’s not even about being artistically inclined.

The real secret to learning to draw is knowing how to see objects as shapes and lines — and then knowing how to put them together to form what you see. 

Dear Aspiring Artist (yes, that’s you!),

My name is Samantha Bell, and I am an artist, illustrator, and children’s writer. I’ve also taught art to both children and adults for nearly 20 years. With so many students, I know many of the struggles people can have when learning to draw. I’ve also learned how to point aspiring artists in the right direction. 🙂

You can learn to draw, too! I’ll take you step by step in creating these images of wild animals, from a simple line drawing to, if desired, a more detailed shaded piece. The goal of this step by step drawing method is to teach you drawing techniques that you can use later to draw whatever you’d like.
