In lesson 3 we learned how to draw shapes that look 3d. Now we will draw a few animals using these shapes. Compare these drawings with the drawings in lesson 2.

Using oval shapes for the ears, feet, and arms, a circle for the head, and a bean shape for the body we can create a bunny that looks looks like it has a solid body.

Here is a duck drawn with the 3d shapes. Use the bean shape for the body, a circle for the head and eyes, ovals for the legs, feet, tail, and beak.
