My nephew, Caden, watches me draw every now and then. As he watches he also asks me to draw a variety of things. A couple weeks ago he saw me drawing in my sketchbook and asked if I knew how to draw Mickey Mouse. I said something like, "I don't know, let's see." Almost immediately he replied, "I show you how." Then he walked over to the printer and grabbed a piece of paper. I gave him a pencil and he started drawing. The first drawing above was the outcome (the line above Mickey's ears is his hat). Then he turned the piece of paper over and drew Mickey again. Throughout the process he spoke all the different body parts as he drew them. When he was finished he said, "now you do it." I said, "okay, I'll try but you might have to help me." The third drawing was the result. One direction I remember that Caden gave me was that I was coloring in the ears incorrectly. I started with the left ear and he told me I was doing it wrong. The right ear, according to Caden, is the correct way to color in the ear. It doesn't look exactly like Mickey, but I like the drawings. I just had fun drawing with Caden. These were all drawn first in pencil and I went over them carefully with ink. I tried my best to preserve all of Cadens marks, no matter how minute.
Sorry for being gone for so long. More is coming. I hope everyone is doing well. Thank you for the encouragement and support. I hope all your dreams are coming true.
