Description: Here is a fun animal to draw when you want to tackle something easy and creative. How about learning the ropes on drawing a sloth for kids. The sloth is one of those species that has a lot of character. Their look is subtle but very distinct. I hope that this tutorial is going to be as fun for you as it was for me when I made it. I chose to have the sloth hanging from a thick branch because as some of you may know, sloths love trees and they also love being silly. Drawing a sloth isn't going to be that hard for you folks to replicate so just take your time and have fun with the tutorial. I shall return momentarily with more fun so stay tuned in.
