Drawing animals for kids!

Drawing animals for kids!

 ​Children draw something every day when they have free time. If you observe them, you realize that painting is a kind of play, not very stressful. When you become an adult and try to draw, just looking at a white piece of paper makes you feel terrified. As a person who draws pictures every day, I predict that anyone will become a painter if this fun as a child continues into an adult.

 ​My eldest son, who went to college, painted his first meaningful pictures when he was two years old. Before that, it was just scribbling.

  ​At that time, my son explained that he painted the sea and mountains. The description is better than the picture, so I took a picture.

 ​When my daughter was two years old, I made the first meaningful picture below.

 ​Anyone can tell that it is a fish.

 ​As you can see from the two pictures, you can see that the expressive power of children is very different depending on their tendencies and personalities. 

 ​Personally, I think that my son's drawings are close to abstract paintings and my daughter is good at minimalistic drawings.

 ​For these kids, my husband used to show me how to draw animals by drawing characters from the then famous TV character Sara and Duck.

  ​I can imagine that if you are a family with children, you will be drawing hard every day in this way. 

  I often showed my child a book called Kim Chung-won's Painting Class, a book that was quite popular a long time ago in Korea to teach how to draw animals. This book is suitable for children's level, especially when teaching children between the ages of 2 and 5 to draw for the first time.

  ​I recently drew a guinea pig with my child. As you know, if you want to draw with a child, you need to simplify things as much as possible so that they are easy to trace.

  ​And I tried to simplify the guinea pigs to make it easier for children to follow.
