We were recently gifted a copy of 10 Step Drawing: Dogs – Draw over 50 delightful dogs in 10 easy steps by Justine Lecouffe to review. We have reviewed some of the other books in the series and found them really easy and fun to use.
10 Step Drawing: Dogs {book review}
10 Step Drawing: Dogs will help you turn simple shapes into beautiful dog drawings in just ten steps. Each drawing starts with easy, geometric shapes and simple guide lines, and the dogs are drawn in a variety of poses that typify the particular breed. Each drawing includes a helpful colour palette so readers can easily find the right colours to finish their drawing.

My 10 year old absolutely loves dogs so was excited to try the process to improve her drawing. The steps are clear and easy to follow. She really enjoys the style of the book and now has pages and pages of drawings. 10 Step Drawing: Dogs – Draw over 50 delightful dogs in 10 easy steps by Justine Lecouffe is published by SearchPress, priced £8.99.
