Dangerous Fun!

Nothing beats climbing as high as you can, going out as far as you can, and worry about getting down later!

Happy Hobbit Day today!

Cheers on this day celebrating the birthday of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins!

Day of Play Week!

It's about playing outside this week on the Sketchables! I wasn't outside, but with this illustration I "played" with some different brushes in Photoshop. These are from Kyle's Paintbox and they are the gouache set. It's always fun to explore and play with your art.

Have a great weekend and be sure to go out and play!

Worldwide Day of Play -- Week!

It's a special week here at Sketchables: Worldwide Day of Play is Sept 20. Get outside and play!
Here are some tips for sketching in nature, if you take your sketchbook outside with you:

For quiet play, here's a How To Draw A Tiger bookmark.

Personally, I am a games person (just like Ellie McDoodle). Here are some bookmarks that fold into triangle-shaped paper footballs, to play finger football with your friends:

Have fun out there! Play is serious business!

World Wide Day of Play Week

When she grows up she will have at least 5 pets at the same time, but for now she has plenty of imagination to enjoy while she plays outside!

This week we are highlighting the Nickelodeon-sponsored "World Wide Day of Play" by posting printables for you!

The Witches

     "Come down out of that tree, little boy, " she said, "and I shall give you the most exciting present you've ever had."  Her voice had a curious rasping quality.  It made a sort of metallic sound, as though her throat was full of drawing-pins.
     Without taking her eyes from my face, she very slowly put one of those gloved hands into her purse and drew out a small green snake.  She held it up for me to see.
     "It's tame, " she said.
