Howdy, Fellow Artists!
            This is Farmer Ralph, welcoming you to my book on how to draw things around a farm. I have great admiration for farmers. They are tough, hard-working folks who tend and grow all kinds of things that we need to live. Without farmers and farms, where would our food come from?
            In this book, I will show you simple ways to draw common barnyard animals. You’ll also learn how to draw hay bales, a tractor, a farmer, and a barn.
            Carefully follow the steps in red to create your own farm drawings. Use the challenge steps in blue to add more character and detail. And remember . . . have fun!
