August is a Wish: Live Sketch Challenge – Drawing on the Grand Fiesta Tour

Posted on by

August is a Wish Your Art Makes: In today’s video, Joe Foo and Chef Miker attempt this Live Sketch Challenge for the first time. They visit the Mexico Pavilion in Epcot where Chef Miker draws on the Gran Fiesta Tour. He faces many challenges in this quest. Not only is he distracted by the loud noises and stimulating sights, but he is also in a boat on a moving track. On top of all of this, the lighting on the ride is very “inconsistent”, so there are times where he is drawing blind.

What does one sketch on a distracting, unstable and dark ride? A parrot with a taco body riding a jetski and eating an ice cream cone of course! Continue reading →

Today’s Sketch: the Bear Sessions – Drawing a Gruff Bear

Posted on by

Otter House Activity— Draw with Joe Foo tonight as he sketches a GRUFF bear. Foo builds off of the character he created a few months ago by drawing a similar but different character using new basic shapes. In this drawing, we will draw a bear using five squares, two triangles and two circles!

This video is an Otter House Activity, so we are going back to basics! This give beginners a fun opportunity to jump on. It also provides artists with a bit more experience a chance to have fun and try to push their drawing a bit further. Have fun as you draw and make it your own! As always, if Foo is drawing too fast, feel free to pause, rewind or rewatch the video! Continue reading →

Live Sketch Challenge: Daredevil Gauntlet at Maker Faire Detroit Part 2

Posted on by

Live Sketch Challenge – So a little back story, we had Chef Miker scheduled to draw in the Daredevil Gauntlet. However, no one could find him! Seriously, completely gone! So in this video, Josh comes to the rescue. Much to his dismay, the Camp PencilPoint Master of Ceremonies partakes in the Daredevil Gauntlet live at Maker Faire Detroit! Two of our favorite Camp PencilPointers, Alexander and Elizabeth help us out in all the blind sketching goodness.

What does the Daredevil Gauntlet entail? Josh regretfully found out that it is blind drawing but with heightened senses. In this case, it is the sense of touch. How do you increase the sense of touch? You use cold, sticky, wet spaghetti. Continue reading →
