What is more adorable than happy cartoon animals? This is a super cute book suitable for both children and adults.

I have read and reviewed a copy of this book through NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Soo funny and cute.
I loved it.
I recommend this book not only to kids (they will really love it) but also to adults!

This is a lovely little book for budding artists and doodlers!. It is full of ideas for making cheery animal characters, and you can add plenty of personality.
The illustrations are great, and even reluctant artists would find it easy to follow the step by steps. There is a particular style to these illustrations, recognisable as the author Terry Runyan's, but as you learn and gain confidence you are sure to develop your own drawing style.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for letting me access an advance digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I enjoyed this how-to-draw book. The illustrations are simple but cute. Each animal comes in size steps. The author creates lines and then shading and then plays with color making it easy to follow.. "Make Them Happy" is a variety of vantage of each animal to help inspire you to create your own way.

its Possible I have read every single one of this series and have loved them all. This is no exception. I’m always really glad that they don’t start with hundreds of pages on what pen to use or where to buy your ink and just get straight into the drawing aspect of things.
The animals are simple to draw and had a few surprise animals that you don’t usually get in standard books. As always the shapes are easy to draw and the final product is cute and easy to recognise.
Whilst this is not my favourite of the series it is a solid addition and would be a nice addition to any art section.

A lovely drawing book providing steps on how to create 62 different cute cartoony type animals.

Each page provides up to 6 steps in how to draw the animal. On the opposite page are a number of other drawings of the animal in different poses plus an area to practise too. With 62 there are certainly plenty of designs to pick from be it a ferret, rhino, snake, pigeon, dolphins and many more.

I received this book from Netgalley in return for a honest review.

Don't get me wrong, this was a cute book and the animals were definitely cute and happy - I reviewed more books from this series of "draw something but make it cute/happy/etc", and this is one that does not really understand what step by step means. But even so, the drawings are cute and rather simple so it should be easy to follow (hopefully, maybe).

This book is a visual reference for drawing a variety of 62 adorable animals. The step-by-step instructions were really neat. On each page, there is space to draw your own character. I liked that this book includes tips on drawing, shading, etc. I think kids will love going through the book and drawing each animal. Overall, a pretty cool book for those looking to learn how to draw new cute animals!

Thank you Quarto Publishing Group – Quarry and NetGalley for providing this ARC.

Easy drawing instructions and very cute animals! This is a great book for anyone who has a little time, or the inclination, to do some fun drawing!

Thanks to Net Galley for a free preview of this absolutely fun and inspiring book ! My granddaughter is always asking me to draw her things when we are playing with her markers and now I will not run out of ideas for quite a while ! The drawings are very doable for an average person to do and they are completely adorable to boot. I look forward to seeing more from this author in the future !

Draw 62 Animals and Make Them Happy is a fun-filled book with tutorials for each one of 62 animals. There are the “usual suspects” like a frog, monkey, horse, crab, and bunny, but there are also some unusual animals, such as yak, Tasmanian devil, bush baby, numbat, and hoopoe bird. Then there are some that you’re probably unfamiliar with, like binturong, spotted genet, okapi, peccary, and long-eared jerboa, some or all of which may give this book an educational element.

Terry Runyan is a great artist with a whimsical style that automatically makes every animal look happy. She provides clear step-by-step instructions for drawing each animal in usually six steps or less. Then on the opposite page, she shows them in unusual poses or situations. For example, a pigeon is shown wearing sunglasses and has a camera around his neck, a polar bear with a penguin eating an ice cream cone, a bunny wearing glasses and sitting on two books (one with the title Hoppy and the other says Bunny Tails), an orangutan eating watermelon, a porcupine on a skateboard, and so much more. One of my favorites is the porcupine wearing bows in her hair. Note that the pages with cute variations for each animal also include a circle for you to add your rendition of that animal.

Draw 62 Animals is sure to provide hours and hours of drawing fun and is almost certain to include all your favorites. Just looking at the pictures is sure to bring a smile to your face. Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group - Quarry Books and NetGalley for an advance reader copy in exchange for my honest review.

This book is super cute! It shows you how to draw cute animals without any prior art knowledge, It will probably take a few tries to get the shapes right but I would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who wants to draw something adorable or if you want to draw with a little kid!

I always love these books and this one didn't disappoint. It's easy to confuse it with Draw 62 Animals and Make Them Cute by another author, and it is very similar. I'm hoping it's part of a series by the same publisher who commissioned different artists and not just this one really imitating that one, but I have to assume it is.

In any case, the animals are all adorable and the illustrations are easy to follow. It walks the line wonderfully between easy to do and realistic, starting with simple lines that you embellish to perfect each animal. The left side shows the steps to make the animal, and then the right side shows a bunch of fun variations. It's adorable and fun. Highly recommended.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.

Do you like to draw animals?
Illustrator Terry Runyan considers herself as obsessed with drawing fun animals. In "Draw 62 Animals and Make Them Happy. Step-by-step drawing for Characters and Personality - For Artists, Cartoonists, and Doodlers" she presents 62 step-by-step drawings of common animals such as cats, dogs, or lions, but also less common ones such as yak, cheetah, or numbat. Runyan sees the book as a "guide and reference to develop your own animal designs" (p.3). The book is one of the "Draw 62..." books published by Quarto Publishing Group – Quarry (Runyan has another one called "Draw 62 Characters and Make Them Happy").
The book shows very cute and fun drawings. It also includes tips which can stimulate the inspiration of the artists and pale blue circles entitled "Try it!" which offer space to reproduce the presented drawing. Runyan does not only draw the animals, but also lightly colors them which provides additional inspiration.
I highly recommend the book for the ones that Runyan mentioned - artists, cartoonists, and doodlers - but also for children and teenagers and for those who use other media (e.g. mix-media) since the book is truly inspirational.
The complimentary copy of this book was provided by the publisher through NetGalley free of charge. I was under no obligation to offer a positive review. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Great book. Illustrations of some very cute(and exotic) animals suitable for ages 8 +. This book is more useful for those looking to imitate the style on the page as it doesn't truly show you the creative process. It shows you area by area what to add next, but nothing about coming up with the basic shapes, how to add details, etc. My middle schoolers do enjoy the others in the collection.

Thanks to Netgalley and the Quarry for the Advanced Reader Copy.

A fun drawing book, that I really enjoyed. I sometimes had to laugh at those funny animals in this book. At times I wished there would have been more steps how to do in this book, but still this is a great book!

Very cute doodling book. This creates simplistic animal shapes in 4-6 steps and then gives variations. Perfectly suitable for children and beginners. It has a spot in the book on the variations page to try it out so you don’t need additional paper if this were a road trip activity.

First off, the book looks gorgeous. I really like Terry’s art style and love the font she picked for the introduction. There is only one page of intro and then it’s straight into the digital drawings. This isn’t a beginners guide to drawing animals, it’s a reference book with tips for making your drawings look happy. If you are looking for a cute reference book with a wide variety of animals then this book is for you. I highly recommend it. Thank you #netgalley

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy to read and review.

These animals were SO cute! My upper elementary students loved it! I would say it is a great book for any one ages 8 and up.

I'm a terrible artist and frequently look for things that will help me to learn to draw. This book was really helpful in doing some basic stuff. I highly recommend for people like me.
