mokonafan: thanks for the warning! i'll have erisian try that site first, it sounds scary...

Hello everyone!

First of all - please excuse me for bumping an older thread - but there is a reason for it!

I'm the person behind the website in question - We Draw Animals.

And I have a really important and sincere request for you guys!

You see, I've been working on diversifying the tutorials I have on the site and came up with 16 different versions for 3 main tutorial types - for kids, cartoon, and realistic.

The following 10 animals have these 16 versions and I would really be very grateful if you could check them out and rate them and give your honest opinions - which versions do you like the most, which you don't - so I can create more of them for the other animals.

The animals list:

/how-to-draw-a-butterfly/
/how-to-draw-a-deer/
/how-to-draw-a-hawk/
/how-to-draw-a-jaguar/
/how-to-draw-a-kangaroo/
/how-to-draw-a-monkey/
/how-to-draw-a-parrot/
/how-to-draw-a-polar-bear/
/how-to-draw-a-raccoon/
/how-to-draw-a-tiger/

(sorry about the lack of links - just add the domain in front of each line - the registration email said I cannot post links for now!)

Again - an ENORMOUS Thank You! Words cannot express how grateful I'd be to get some feedback!

I absolutely agree on the usability part - I'm thinking of doing something like coffeescripter com/code/ad-gallery.

As for the tutorials - I hope I'm not asking too much here - but do you think it'd be possible to be a bit more specific? Which versions were you referring to? Or if you had to choose just one version of each type - one for kids, one for a cartoon animal and one for a more realistic representation - which versions would they be (there is a # above each tutorial that shows which version it is - eg. "Alternative Tutorial #3 - For Kids" - means version #3).

Thanks again!

This website for me is the best thing ever! I wanted Christopher Hart's how to draw animal book for years but this website is free and has more animals! T.T

For me, this is a gem, I can start simple then make it look better later.

Warning mainly for AnMal: There are a few images of insects and spiders so look with caution, I had to block a few because it freaked me out.- but the images are VERY small so it should be alright.

Edit:
So AnMal can still see some of them here are some direct links:

There are a whole lot more than this but this is just so she can see some of it w/o worrying about bugs!

Antelope
Arctic Fox
Butterfly
Black Panther
Dog
Frog
Hummingbird
Inguana
Hawk
Rabbit
Cat

Hi Mokonafan,

Wow! I'm actually relieved!

First of all - let me assure you - you didn't sound mean at all! Very friendly in fact! And I really honestly appreciate your taking the time to help me!

Now, as for the problematic tutorials themselves... The real problem is probably with my wording - when I used "For Kids" what I really meant was for the youngest of them - up to 4-5 years old. They still don't have much experience drawing so I aimed at creating something that resembled the animal in question, yet was simple and basic enough to be "drawable" by them. Something that they can achieve and give themselves positive feedback so they can feel confident enough to try and tackle something more "realistic".

I guess I should also try and find a parenting forum and ask parents to see how their youngest respond to these simplified tutorials.

And last but not at all least - a link on your site would be totally awesome!

P.S. I'll go and revise the wording on these tutorials to state that they're for the youngest kids.
