Let's draw fireworks over a picnic blanket

Today I want to draw fireworks over a picnic blanket to celebrate the Fourth of July. We'll draw a picnic blanket and I'll show you how to draw people from behind as they sit down and look up at the sky. We'll also draw some classic American snacks. And of course, we'll draw a sky full of colorful fireworks. We also talk about how even though fireworks are beautiful and fun, sometimes fireworks can be startling to us, to dogs, and even to veterans--but they won't hurt us. Here are 3 ideas your imagination can wonder about based on our drawing today: We talked about hotdogs, bluejeans, and fireworks feeling like “American” things. What makes something “American?” Independence Day is about America declaring freedom. What makes a country a free country for everyone who lives there? We talked about the importance of being kind. What’s your favorite way to show kindness?

Let's draw a cowboy riding a horse

Today I want to draw a cowboy riding a horse. This was an artist submitted idea! Thank you so much, Emi :) We’ll draw a horse of course, and a cowboy wearing a cowboy hat and cowboy boots. We'll also give our cowboy a lasso so he can wrangle his cattle. In this episode we'll try a technique of noticing which parts of the picture to draw first so that your cowboy looks like he's on top of his horse. Here are 3 ideas your imagination can wonder about based on our drawing today: If cowboys are riding horses, why are they called cowboys? Cowboys love their horses, do you think horses love their cowboys? If you be like a cowboy or cowgirl and could ride a horse anywhere, where would you go? What if your horse was invisible?

Today I want to draw giraffes munching on leaves in a tree. Today's episode is extra special because it's the first time an artist has sent in an idea!

Let's draw friendly aliens landing their spaceship

Today I want to draw a cool spaceship landing on earth, with two friendly aliens. Since I've never personally seen a spaceship or an alien, we will be using extra imagination to add details to a giant spaceship--in today's case flying saucer style. Then we will create 2 very wacky looking creatures who are visiting earth. We will also draw signs that these aliens have visited before! 🧠 Here are 3 ideas your imagination can wonder about based on our drawing today: Our aliens learned a lot about earth. What would you want to teach an alien? Do you think humans and aliens have a lot in common or not much? How can you make an alien feel welcome here on their visit?

Let's draw a wedding scene

Today I want to draw a wedding scene, inspired by the wedding I am going to this weekend. We'll draw a bride and a groom, and some flowers to decorate. Your artist choice will be draw clothes to make the bride and groom feel fancy on their special day. In my culture, brides usually wear white and grooms wear a suit and tie or bow tie. If you prefer to dress your happy couple in lehengas and sherwanis, or any other attire that comes to mind, I hope you will draw those instead. 🧠 Here are 3 ideas your imagination can wonder about based on our drawing: Why do people dress fancy for weddings? Everyone’s culture or families have their own version of being dressed up-- how does your culture or family like to dress up? Why do you think your bride and groom you drew love each other so much?
