As a follow-up to World Drawing Day: So I followed my own advice. I went over to my friend's house and I gave her 2nd grade daughter coloring lessons with her Crayola colored pencils. All I showed her was my simple shadow technique with a piece of plastic and some lines drawn on it for figuring out lighting. She was so excited! Her coloring instantly improved and she proudly showed her mom how she could make the picture look more 3-D. That gave me the warm-fuzzies for the rest of the day. Were you able to get out and inspire someone this weekend?
