Posted on May 22, 2020 by Joe Foo

CPP Presents: The Round Frogs of Chicken Wing Swamp Part 2 — Joe Foo draws two more “round frogs”. He creates two very different looking characters using the same ten simple shapes. We would love for you to join the adventure and draw along with us! Maybe these frogs look more like the one Drew discovered out in Chicken Wing Swamp.

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

Posted on August 23, 2018 by Joe Foo

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 →

Sketching Tips: Magical Rhinoceros

Posted on September 4, 2017 by Joe Foo

Again based on Rubi’s suggestion, I drew a Magical Rhinoceros. Using the same simple shapes as in the Pineapple Mermaid (cones and spheres) I built a basic structure for this new character.

I will create a different Magical Rhinoceros using the same basic structure but changing the details. Continue reading →

Sketching Tips: Pineapple Mermaid

Posted on August 28, 2017 by Joe Foo

Based on Rubi’s suggestion, I drew a Pineapple Mermaid. Using the simple shapes of cones and spheres, I built a basic structure for the character. Once this structure was solid, I added the fun details. In the next Sketching Tip, I will take the same 10 simple shapes and create a different character… of Rubi’s choosing.
