Mixing Animals

Drawing a mixture of animals can sometimes be more fun than drawing a real animal. One of those reasons are that you tend to have more colors on a mixture of animals. And another reason is that you get to think up all the animals that you would like to use for your mix of animals. For my picture I gave the animal the head and ears of a rabbit, the trunk of an elephant, the front half of a St. Bernard, the back half of a cheetah, and the tail of an alligator. If you are not doing much today I suggest you draw something like this.

Drawing Objects

When drawing something real, the first thing that you must do is pick something to draw. Look around your room for a fairly easy to draw object. Then make sure your pencils are sharpened and that you have a nice sized piece of paper. Try to make the picture as detailed as possible, in my picture for extra detail I added fur instead of just leaving the white areas white. If you leave those areas white it can sometimes appear that the area is blank. So sometime you should try to go around your room, find a fun to draw object, and draw including small details.

Second Week Of Water Color Class

Yesterday was my second week of water color class. At first we did a lot of the same techniques, then we added to the old techniques. One of these techniques was called wicking. First we did the wet on wet, then we got the corner of a paper towel and put the corner on the bubble that the wet on wet made. and the access paint climbed up the corner of the paper towel. We also put paint in square five then used a straw to move the paint into square two.

Water Color Class

Yesterday My sisters and I went to a water color class. At the class the teacher taught us how to do different techniques like wet on wet, wet on dry, and dry brush. For wet on wet we would get some water on our brush and paint the paper with water. Then we put a little bit of paint on the water and tilted our paper. This made the paint move around our paper where we had water. For wet on dry we got some wet paint and painted a line on our dry paper. For the dry brush we put paint on our brush and gently pulled it through a folded paper towel. This effect made the paint have a bumpy texture to it. We also did salt on paint, we pulled the paint with the back of our paint brushes, and we did a small picture using the techniques that we had learned.

Typing Art

For this post I typed a rabbit. Typing pictures is fairly easy and fun. The only down sides are that you can not add one layer over another and you can not add color unless you make the outline a different color.

Food art

Fondant is a squishy edible formula (which I think tastes bad but some people think otherwise). It is easy to shape most commonly used for covering cakes. Can anyone guess what I made?

Creative Writing

Writing a few letters on a piece of paper can be much more enjoyable when you make the letters look like animals or something other than a normal letter. For this post I wrote an A, a B, and a C. I tried to make the A look like it was made out of wood, I tried to make the B look like a butterfly, and I put a cat inside the C.
