Create a definitive guide to all the cute animals you want to draw, practicing each one until you're confident enough to create a whimsical chalk parade on your drive.

thesisCube Puppy

Puppies are a paws-olutely delightful subject for chalk drawing. They're easy to exaggerate, and their round shapes and bulbous noses are perfect for beginners. To draw a puppy, start with a simple circle for the body, two smaller circles for the head, and add two paws and a tale. You'll have a cute puppy ready to wag its tail in no time!

Pro Tip: Use different colors for the puppy's coat, eyes, and snout to make your chalk drawing pop. You can even blend colors for a Galaxies-like fur effect.

Silly Sea Creatures

Why not bring the ocean to your sidewalk this summer? Create a playground for hilarious sea creatures that were either banished from a cartoon or escaped from a Dr. Seuss story. Let your imagination run wild with these overly silly creatures, complete with polka-dotted fins, grinning mouths, and humongous eyes.
