This video is especially for Luke-Mark Williams, who is possibly my biggest fan, and whose birthday it is today, January 3rd, the day this video went live on YouTube – Happy Birthday!
How to draw 2018 Real Easy
Happy New Year! Maybe you need to make a banner or calendar to get the year off to a good start. Here is a video to show you how to write or draw 2018 in a fancy type style. This style is like Times New Roman – It is a serif style. Serifs are the little bits that flick at the ends of letters and numbers.
Just take your time and remember to press very gently;y on the pencil so it is easier to erase later.
Making a how to draw book
I’m currently working on a how to draw Ancient Greek Stuff book. I was really inspired to get on with it after a day spent with year 5/6 working on Ancient Greek themes. The children were so keen to draw ancient Greek stuff, but didn’t have much to show them how. So, I thought I should fill that gap. I’m currently about 2/3rds of the way through.
The artwork has proved to be more complicated that I thought would be.I suppose I’d be doing it the other way around if I were being commissioned, but as I’m going to publish the book myself, and have this book as the foundation of my new publishing empire (lol) I’m working in detail, page by page to an overall plan.
In the meantime, I’m becoming a whizz at inDesign, the page layout program. I’m hoping to launch the book as a Kickstarter project, probably in February.
