Let's draw ants carrying snacks away from a picnic

Today I want to draw ants carrying snacks away from a picnic. We'll draw 3 ants marching in a line across a picnic blanket. Each ant will have a different food on their back: a watermelon slice, a cookie, and your artist's choice. This episode shows how practicing might help you feel more confident in your drawings, since we draw 3 ants the same way, with a head, a thorax, an abdomen and 6 legs. Here are 3 ideas your imagination can wonder about based on our drawing today: We talked about how ants have 2 stomachs - what would you do with 2 stomachs? Why do ants like picnics so much? Do they like them more than you? Why do ants march in a straight line? Imagination Draw Along is an intentionally low stimulation show that gives artists space to develop confidence in decision making-- because there’s no wrong way to do art.

Today I want to draw ants carrying snacks away from a picnic. We'll draw 3 ants marching in a line across a picnic blanket. Each ant will have a different food on their back: a watermelon slice, a cookie, and your artist's choice.

This episode shows how practicing might help you feel more confident in your drawings, since we draw 3 ants the same way, with a head, a thorax, an abdomen and 6 legs.

Here are 3 ideas your imagination can wonder about based on our drawing today:

  1. We talked about how ants have 2 stomachs - what would you do with 2 stomachs?
  2. Why do ants like picnics so much? Do they like them more than you?
  3. Why do ants march in a straight line?

Imagination Draw Along is an intentionally low stimulation show that gives artists space to develop confidence in decision making-- because there’s no wrong way to do art.
