Materials You'll Need

* Pencil * Paper * Eraser * Optional: colored pencils, markers, or paint

Step 1: Sketch the Basic Shape

* Start by sketching the basic shape of the animal's body. For kittens and puppies, this will be a circle for the head and an oval for the body. For lambs and chicks, the body will be more triangular. * Add simple lines to indicate the legs, tail, and ears.

Step 2: Refine the Shape

* Use your pencil to refine the shape of the animal's body. Add curves to the head and body, and taper the legs towards the feet. * Sketch in the details of the ears, eyes, nose, and mouth.

Step 3: Add Details

* Now it's time to add the details that will bring your animal to life. Draw in the fur, whiskers, and any other distinguishing features. * Use short, light strokes to create a sense of texture.

Step 4: Ink and Color

* Once you're satisfied with your pencil sketch, you can ink it with a pen or marker. This will help to define the lines and give your drawing a more finished look. * If you want to add color, use colored pencils, markers, or paint to bring your animal to life.
