animals like and unlike humans in drawing

Dogs head as a circle and cone

Once a friend asked me to draw a dog and the final result was close to a wolf which is not too far away from dog.

Getting your animal drawings right

In this book, I liked the section on livestock where the author uses geometric building blocks to draw animals better. I bought it for a friend.
The book goes through many kinds of drawing. For example, painting the street lights and so on. It works at the general level than the details.

Drawing your problem and solution

My husband showed me the speed painter's painting on Anderson show, when he said the painting was done in a minute and half, I couldnt see what it was until he rearranged it upside down.
And drawing upside down is what the author Betty Edwards calls drawing from the right side of the brain in her previous book.

Planning games for a birthday party

2 Pack – Origami Paper Kit Sea & North Pole Animals, 30 Pieces of Origami Paper, Create 12 Different Animals, Instruction Book Included for Teenager, Adult and Intermediate and Advanced – Origami Kit

9/8

When my friends say they are having a birthday party for kids. the next question I ask is if they have games for kids. I was at a birthday party where there were games - transferring M&M from one bowl to another using a straw. Sharks out of water is a similar game. While drawing the shark, I thought why not raw all the animals in the sea. I  came across a book

While spending some time with neighbor kids, I realised that their timepass is telling jokes. I realised I didnt know any that they would like. Especially when their joke was typified by a ' I was just joking' at the end.

Animal jokes from Scott Allen and a way to use card stock teamed to form a joke book where one of the folds had a joke from the book. The top fold can hold your name and the rest of the folds are free for more jokes from the kid or others and decorations or pictures of the joked animals and persons.

Face painting seems like fun for everyone. I took some paint pencils. Kids wanted helicopter, aeroplane, spiderman (copied this from a color book), spider, flower, butterfly, jaguar (I didnt). Soe grown up kids didnt want anything until I interested them in pirate painting and the jokes. One of them shared one she knew

Why can a fish weigh itself?

It has its own scales

I also was interested in origami. I tried a crane but failed at step 11 of step 19 when it didnt get symmetrical wings.  I moved to simpler cat, dog, fox, chick.
Pin the donkey's tail seems to be a classic. And then there were patch the pirate's eye and pin the shiny nose on the clown. When I came across Fukuwarai, I made a pig missing eyes and nose.
