Hi everyone and welcome to a new edition of Draw with Rob, with me, Rob Biddulph.
There you go, there's a picture of me.
I've got a beard in that picture.
I haven't got that beard anymore, you'll be glad to know, I'm sure.
Right, and I am a children's author and illustrator.
You might know me from books like this one, it's called Kevin.
It's all about one of my daughter's imaginary friends.
Or maybe you've seen this one, which is called Show and Tell,
all about a class full of competitive school children who want to
bring in something better than the last person to show and tell at school.
And it gets quite out of hand, as you can maybe see in this picture here.
But today, we are here to draw a picture together and the drawing that we
are gonna do today is of one of my characters from this book here,
which is called Odd Dog Out.
You may have seen my friend Tom, Tom Hardy, reading this on CBeebies.
For legal reasons, I should probably point out that he's not actually my friend.
But, he did a good job, didn't he of reading that story out.
And it's the story of a little sausage dog or
dachshund, who lives in a world full of sausage dogs, as you can see here,
but she is different to everybody else in this world, as you can see here.
So she goes on a little journey actually to find a place where she does fit in,
where everybody is like her.
But, in the course of that journey she realizes that actually do you know what?
You don't have to be like everybody else,
it's good to just be yourself, and everybody else realizes that too.
And at the end, look, everybody is just being themselves.
So, what we are gonna draw today is one of these little sausage dogs,
one of these little dachshunds.
Have I got that in the middle, is it straight?
Let's have a look.
Yeah, it's pretty good, that's pretty good.
So this is how it works, if you haven't seen one of these videos before,
this is what we do.
I do a little bit of a drawing here on my piece of paper,
then you might need to pause your video and you copy exactly what I've done.
Then start your video again and you'll see me draw a little bit more.
Then you draw, then I draw, then you draw, I draw, you draw.
And by the end, we all end up with a piece of artwork that we are very proud of.
Okay, so all you'll need is a piece of paper, a pencil or a pen,
something to draw with, and we're ready to go.
So the first thing I want you to draw is, towards the top of your piece of paper,
I want you to draw a sort of rectangle shape like that.
Maybe make it slightly narrower at the bottom than the top.
And this is gonna be our dachshund's face.
Now, sausage dogs, their eyes are right at the top of their heads, so
let's draw two little circles right at the top of his head, like that.
And inside each circle, right in the middle, we'll do a smaller
circle that we'll color in, that'll be his pupils, okay?
Now, their noses are right at the bottom of their faces, so
this is how we draw the nose.
I'm gonna draw a little black square, first of all, roughly there, so
we're gonna leave a little gap at the bottom and a couple of gaps either side.
And then coming off either side of this square,
just draw a little sort of swirly bit like that.
This is how I draw their noses.
Okay, now coming out of the bottom of this nose, draw a little,
tiny straight line that joins up to the edge of the face, like that.
And then either side of that straight line, just add three tiny dots,
and these are gonna be our dog's whiskers.
Now, sausage dogs are famous for their very long ears, so
we need to draw two very long ears on our picture.
So what we're gonna do is coming from the top of his head, the top corner of
the right hand side, or her head, we don't know whether this is a boy or girl.
We are gonna draw a long shape, like that, that joins up at the top and
gets narrower at the top, and then we're gonna color that in.
That is one of our dogs ear's.
Now then, let's do the same on the other side, exactly the same.
Big long ears, the full length of their head, and we'll color that one in too.
Now, you might have noticed that we've drawn the head towards the top of this
page and we haven't done it to one side.
Because can you see the background, the piece of paper, there's lots and
lots of different sausage dogs on this background.
Some of them are walking on all fours, but some of them, like this chap here,
are standing upright.
We are gonna draw our dog standing upright.
So this is gonna get a little bit fiddly, but do you know what,
I think you guys are equal to the task.
What I want you to do, put your pen here, start drawing down,
and when we get not very far down there, I want you to stop and
draw a little arm coming out like that, okay?
Then I want you to carry on going down,
it's up top you how long you want to make your sausage dog.
I'm gonna do a very full one today, I think,
I'm gonna do down to about there, I think, okay?
Then can we do exactly the same on the other side,
like a mirror image of what we've just drawn.
So I'm gonna come down, we're gonna do another arm sticking out like that,
then we're gonna come all the way down here like that, okay?
So look our sausage dog's really starting to take shape, isn't it?
Now, we need to do his other legs at the bottom, so this is how we do that.
We are gonna start curling a little tiny bit there, then we're gonna draw,
[MUSIC]
A little leg, like that, a line in the middle, and another leg,
then we'll curl that up, and then look, our sausage dog is standing up.
I don't think they can do that in real life cuz I think their backs are a bit too
long, but, hey, it's a picture book, isn't it?
It's a drawing, we can do what we like.
Let's add a little tail here that's wagging away.
There we go, little sausage dog tail.
To make it look like it's wagging, just add two little lines, like that,
on either side.
Now, I want to show you one of my favorite little tips here and
it's all about shadow.
You might have seen me mention this in other videos, but if you just add
a little bit of a scribble coming out from either side of our dog's feet,
like that, it looks like they are standing on the ground.
It's a little illusion there to create the idea of a shadow and
it makes it look like our dog is standing on the floor.
Now then, that's pretty much it for the sausage dog.
Quite simple to draw really, but as I mentioned earlier,
can you see all these other dogs around here, they're all dressed differently,
they're all kind of blazing their own trails?
What I want is for
you to dress your sausage dog however you would like to dress him or her.
If you want, you can just color them in different colors,
maybe rainbow stripes or lots of spots or stars or whatever you like, or
you could give them a little outfit.
This one here, he looks a bit like, I don't know if you can see here,
maybe you can't see him actually.
Let's do this one, this one here, he's wearing a rabbit onesie, isn't he?
And this one, look, he's a pirate, and I think over here we've got a superhero dog.
But you know what?
You can do anything you like.
Now, via the magic of video, I'm not gonna tell you what I'm gonna draw, but
I'm gonna do my very favorite sausage dog from the book.
And I am gonna try and do some clever speeding up of this, so
you're gonna see me drawing very, very quickly now.
I can't actually draw that quickly, but, hey, it'll look like I can and so
that makes me look pretty cool doesn't it, right?
While I'm doing that, you can either pause the video and do your own drawing or
you can look and see what I do and you can copy me.
So here we go, let's make a start.
[MUSIC]
So there you go, there's my little sausage dog.
He's a sausage dog dressed as a hotdog.
Of course he is, if I was a sausage dog, I would constantly wear my hotdog costume.
I think it should be the law, quite frankly.
Now then, the very last thing you need to do to your drawing when you're finished is
very, very important.
We need to sign our drawing so everyone knows who's created our lovely artwork.
So I'm just gonna write my name here, there we go, Rob, and
so I want you to do the same.
And then I want you to share your fabulous drawings with me,
you can use the #DrawWithRob on social media.
Whatever social media you're watching this on, whether it's Twitter or Instagram or
Facebook, but I really would love to see all of your drawings.
Maybe some of you have drawn the hotdog like me, but hopefully some of you have
drawn lots and lots of different sausage dogs, and we've all blaze our own trail
and done our own thing, which is what the story is all about.
So listen, I hope you've had a good time watching this video today, and
don't worry cuz I'm gonna be back very soon with another Draw with Rob video.
I really like doing these, they're a lot of fun.
In the meantime, take care of yourselves and I'll speak to you soon.
