Doodle Draw Art...Love!

If you're looking for a nice easy way to help your kids learn to draw, then have I got the website for you!



 DoodleDrawArt is a Youtube channel and blog that teaches children to draw cartoon style animals, vehicles, seasonal themes and characters all using simple lines and basic materials.  The videos are all nice and short, and include narration.  And if you can't find what you're looking for, they even take requests!

Have a look - and maybe you'll even enjoy trying out the drawings yourself!

The instagram portion of this Online Art Class makes it most engaging, as she encourages her online students to post their pictures of her lessons and tag her in them, making it an easy way to show off your work!  How cool is that? 

Why not give her a boost and share the YouTube channel with your friends?  Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, she's a fellow homeschooler!

Drawing Manga

Art is a favorite subject in our household.  And, lately we've been exploring drawing cartoons.  We've never read much manga, but the art work is very interesting.  My 9 year-old son discovered a great series of books that give excellent directions on how to draw manga characters.  They are by Christopher Hart.


The first one he discovered was the Kids Draw Manga Fantasy book pictured on the left.  He was excited that his finished work looked like the pictures in the book!  That is always so encouraging, isn't it?

Then, he wanted more books, and he specifically asked for Christopher Hart.  So, we picked up a few more that were even more direct with their instructions.  They included the Xtreme Art titles Draw Manga, Draw Mini Manga and Draw Manga Monsters.
