    I’m always asked how I got my name. Well here you are. The story of how I got to be called Shoo in glorious technicolour! (well, glorious YouTube as it happens!)

    If you missed the first episode, it’s at the bottom of this article.

    This episode sees my family off to Pakistan – watch and find out more.

    All drawn feehand and spontaneously with my favourite Rotring Tikky Graphic pen and coloured in with Copic Ciao markers – Yes i love them, they are so quick and easy to use. They may seem expensive if you buy a huge set, but you can refill them and add new nibs and brush tips too. Over time, they work out to be very good value.

    The paper is cheap photocopy paper. What more can I tell you? ask in the the comments box below.

  • CallThatABrotherThere has been a meme going around YouTube for a little while called “Drawing My Life”. YouTubers tell the story of their lives while drawing, usually with stickmen drawn with dry wipe markers on a whiteboard. A lot of people have asked me to do a draw my life video over the last few months.

    The trouble is that most of the people who make draw my life videos are quite young and they manage to fit most of their lives into one video. Well, I’ve been around quite a few years now, so I’m going to have to do quite a few episodes!

    Also, I should really try to draw with something a bit more like the rest of my channel, with pens and markers or watercolour. I’ve been thinking about it for quite a while, How I should go about it, how I should break my life up into episodes and what are the best bits to draw?

    I think I’ve worked out the formula and, with some trepidation, I have started on what is going to be a pretty massive project. I could really do with your support if you like it. Please tweet, share, Facebook and tell al your friends on all the forms of social media you use. If you do – many thanks.

    It’s going to be a bit of a history lesson too, so you may find it informative and useful in schools!
