Not everyone considers themselves an artist.
But with the right challenge, you may really surprise yourself.
You think you’re pretty, huh?
I’ll draw you even more spectacular.
Channeling my inner Van Gogh!
He’d love my use of lines.
These hooves are tricky…
There! Not quite what I was going for.
What are looking at?
Let’s try this again, shall we?
UGH! You again?!
Third time’s a charm, right?!
This one’s gonna be it, I can feel it!!
Don’t even say it!
Here we go…
This is the worst one yet.
I’ll never be a famous artist.
This muse was anything but inspiring.
Now what do I do?
Hey, wait a minute.
That shadow is incredible!
This is gonna be easy now!
Cast a light on your subject,
And just outline its shadow on paper.
I’m capturing every bump and groove.
And the horns?
And that’s how it’s done!
Now to get creative with some color.
Nothing like a fresh set of markers, right?
They fill in the color quite nicely.
Almost finished with this one.
Almost forgot about this end!
I wonder if Van Gogh new about this trick.
Nice.
Hey! I just can’t escape you?!
Where on earth do I begin?
Green is the ultimate color tranquility.
Which is perfect for my vision.
Very nice…
Voila!!
This simply won’t cut it.
I need a nice clean slate.
Maybe this blue hue is better.
Yes, it’s looking better already!
Now we’re talking!
Why can’t I get this thing right?!
A waste of a canvas.
Time to kick this into high gear.
Going the realist route this time.
Steady…
And… HA!
My hands have failed me again!
I’m just not cut out for this artist life.
GAH!! Why is this happening?!
Why, oh, unknowable universe, why?!
What a day.
Even my hair is betraying me.
Wait! The answer was right in my pocket!
First, put down these strips of tape.
Then you’ll get a triangle.
Next comes the paint.
Put it down in globs, just like this.
And you can choose any colors you want.
Just make sure the fit inside.
This paint is thick.
Now for the really cool part.
Zig-zag the comb up and down as you go though the paint.
It’s okay if it gets on the tape.
Now fill in the rest of the white space.
Yep, use nice big globs!!
The bottom may take a tad longer.
Since you have more space to fill in.
But don’t worry, it’ll all be worth it at the end!
Time to pull back all that tape!
Just look at that clean line.
Two more to go!!
And… The perfect colorful triangle!
All that’s left to do now is admire my masterpiece.
Guess I’m true artist after all.
All right, Kitty, you ready to see an artist in action?
This one’s gonna be really good.
After all, the more colors, the merrier!!
Just a few more hues to go.
My hand’s getting tired here…
It turned out great!
Or maybe not.
I can’t do anything right.
What’s happening over there?
Color-blending, I see?
I can definitely work with that!!
Check out that epic gradient!
WOW! Now to blend just the right shades.
It’s like a little marker smooch!
And then there’s color magic!
I wonder what this one’ll look like.
Nothing like a fun, color-changing unicorn.
Look at it!! This part ought to be good!!
It’s like a unicorn rainbow over here!
I can’t even color it fast enough.
Every section can be a new color gradient.
See how it all comes together?
Careful around the snout!
Very nice.
Now this is a real improvement! Don’t you agree?
Better get started on this assignment.
A rainbow, huh?
There’s red in rainbows, right?
Next up? Yellow.
This is lookin’ pretty snazzy!
But the shape is kinda funky.
This one should be better.
But why is it still straight?!
C’mon…. Curve, CURVE!!
This is impossible!
Everything okay in here?
You tell me!
Here, let me help you.
Drawing rainbows is hard, Matt!
You wanna help?
Oh yea. Just watch.
Place a strip of tape down, sticky side up.
And put your markers, in order, on top.
Then wrap the tape back over.
There!
One rainbow coming right up!
One big swoop on the page is all it takes!
The perfect curve, see?
That was unbelievable!!
I’ll try!!
Someone’s getting an A on this assignment!!
See ya!
Hungry?
Um, Chloe? What happened in here?
I’ve never seen so many rainbows.
They’re… everywhere….
Chloe?
This trick really got me going!
Wanna make some more with me?
Chocolate? How’d you know I was hungry?
Here!!
Wish you knew about these drawing tricks back in art class?
It’s never too late to put them to good use on your own time!
