1. Introduction and Supplies You Will Need: Hi friends, how are you? I hope you're having
a great day today. I'm excited about sharing
this project with you. This is a drawing and
watercolor painting project that I designed
especially for kids. Students do not need to have any drawing or
painting experience at all to be successful
with this project. I will guide students
step by step through all the steps
that they need to take. Today we are going to be creating this cute
little penguin. Let's talk about
the supplies and the materials that you will
need for this project. The first thing
that you'll need is a sheet of watercolor paper. You will need a set of watercolor paints
and a paint brush. You will also need a
cup or a bowl with clean water and a black
oil pastel or crayon. And a white oil
pastel or crayon. You will also need
a paper towel. Go ahead and gather all of
those supplies and materials. And I'll see you back
here in the next video.
2. Step 1: Draw a Penguin Design: In this step, we are going
to draw our Penguin design. Let's get started. The first thing
that we're going to do is we're going to pick up our black oil pastel
or our black crayon. What we're going to do is
we're going to start our drawing close to the top
of our sheet of paper. Not all the way to the
top, but pretty close. I'm going to go
about 5 " down from the top of our piece of paper would be around
eight or so centimeters. I'm going to make a
straight line like this. Now, above this line, we're going to have a hat
for a Penguin to wear. Below the line, we're
going to have the face and the scarf and the
body for our Penguin. Let's decide what we'd
like to be on our hat, and you can make any
type of hat that you'd like for your Penguin. I'm just going to make one of those hats that has the
little ball at the top. Let me show you how
I'm going to do that. I'm going to come up and
then I'm going to come down. Then from this line here I'm going to come
up and then I'm going to meet that
first line like that. I hope that you can
see that on the video. Now, I'm going to put one of those little balls at the
top of that hat like that. Okay, now what I'm going
to do is I'm going to come down here underneath the hat and I'm going
to make a penguin face. I'm going to make a curve line, then a curve line, then under those curve lines and connecting
those curve lines, I'm going to make a
straight line like this. Make sure those
lines are connected. There's a little
space right here. This is the space for
the Penguins face. This is going to be a scarf, so it's going to be covering the bottom part of
our Penguins face. Okay, let's make some eyes. You can make any type of
eyes that you'd like. I'm going to make
some really big eyes. This is one E, this
is another eye. Then I'm going to some
pupils, round pupils. If they're not perfect, that's okay. Don't worry about that. All right, and then
I'm going to make a little beak. That's cute. Okay, so part of the face is underneath this
scarf, remember that? Okay, the next thing that we're going to do is we're
going to make our scarf. We're going to come down with the straight line and down
with the straight line. Then we're going to
make a curve line connecting this
line to this line. Just a slightly curved
line like this. This is going to be the scarf. As you can see, it's
starting to take shape. Now let's move over here onto the right hand side and
we're going to make a curve line like this and then another
curve line like this. And then close those up. Then if you'd like
to add some fringe, you can go ahead and do
that. That's always fun. Then we're going to do
the same thing here. A line, a line coming out. And close that up. Then if you'd like to make some fringe, you can go ahead and do that. Can get a little bit
crazy if you'd like. Right now. We have our hat and our actual Penguin and the
scarf for our Penguin. Then right down
here we're going to start making our Penguins body. This is more of a
cartoon Penguin, it's not really realistic. We're going to make a big body. We're going to come around and then come back up.
It's a curved line. We come down, it's a little
bit flat at the bottom, and then we come back up. If you'd like to make
your body more round, you can go ahead and do that. You can make your body thin or you can make your body thicker. It's completely up to you. Now what we're going
to do is we're going to make some little wings coming out of the
side, little wings. Then let's add a little bit
of detail to the tummy. I'm going to make a
really big curve line like this that just adds
a little bit of detail. Now what we're going to
do is we're going to make some feet down
here at the bottom, curve lines like this. There's a different type of a foot that you'd like to
make. Go ahead and make that. All right, take a
look at your artwork. Is there anything else
that you'd like to add? Would you like to add a
design onto your scarf? I think I would. I think I'm
going to add some stripes. I'm going to add some
stripes on my cute scarf. That way it'll give it a
little bit more detail. All right, now what we're
going to do is we are going to create something for
our Penguin to stand on. He's going to be
standing on some snow, and I'm just going to
make a line coming out from the Penguin's
body and another line. It's not going to be
perfect and that's okay. All right, and then if there's anything down here
that you'd like to add, you can go ahead and do that. I think I'm going to leave
mine plan because I like how it looks when
there's snow on the ground and it's
just all white. Now that we have our
Penguin drawing, let's add a little bit of
detail to the background. What we're going to do
is add some snowflakes, because this is an
area where it snows, that's where this Penguin lives. We're going to use our
white oil, pestel, or crayon, to create some
snowflakes behind the Penguin. Now this is white oil pestel, and you're not going
to be able to see it on the white piece of paper, but you get to make any type of snowflake that you'd like. I'm going to show
you a couple of different ways that you
can make a snowflake, including my favorite way. I have a little
piece of paper here, You can just make a
snowflake like this with some lines going through each other and then
maybe a little dot at the end of your snowflake. You can go ahead and
make that type of a snowflake or you can make another snowflake.
That's real simple. It's just basically a dot like this and you just fill it in with your oil
pastel or caron. If there's a different way that you know to make
those snowflakes, you can go ahead and do that. I'm going to make this
type of snowflake. Like I said before, you're
not going to be able to see me do that on
my piece of paper, but I am going to do that. They're going to be pretty big. I'm going to make those
lines and then I'm going to add some dots. I'm going to take a
moment to do that. All righty friends, I'm finished drawing those snowflakes
in the background. I'm not quite sure
where they are right now because it's hard
for me to see them. But once I add some watercolor
paints to that background, then I will start seeing
the snowflakes appear. In the next step, what
we're going to do is we're going to start
painting our design.
3. Step 2: Paint the Background: In this step, we
are going to start painting our design.
Let's get started. The first thing
that we're going to do is we are going to add a drop or two of water into
each of our pans of paint. What this will do is
it will soften up the paints a little bit so that they are
easier for us to. I always encourage my students to take that step because
it really does help. All right, now that our
paints are softening up, let's turn our attention
to our design. Here we have our little Penguin
who's out for a stroll. What we're going to
do is we're going to focus on painting the
background first. We're going to be
painting the sky first. Decide on the color, more colors that you'd like
to use to paint the sky. That's all that we're going
to focus on right now. I'm going to use the color
blue to paint my sky. I'm going to remember that my snowflakes might
show up at some point. The reason why they show up is because the oil pastels
or the crayons, they resist that paint. Or the color, that's when
they start showing up. As you can see, I have a
few right here and they're looking a little bit crazy because I couldn't see where I was
putting those tots, but that's part
of the fun of it. Sometimes art is a surprise. I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to paint
all of the sky. And then I will be
back in just a minute. All right, friends,
I'm finished painting my sky and I think it
looks really cool. I like the way that
my snowflakes look. They're a little bit
off, but that's okay. I just couldn't quite
see what I was doing, but I think it looks really fun. What we're going to
do when we come back in the next video
is we are going to start painting our Penguin
and the hat and the scarf. I will see you back
here in the next video.
4. Step 3: Paint the Penguin: In this step, we
are going to paint our Penguin and the
hat, and the scarf. Let's get started, because our Penguin is going
to be black and white. I'm going to paint
the scarf and the hat first because that black
paint is pretty powerful. When we rinse our paint brush, it will get a lot of the
black inside of our water. I'm going to go ahead and
paint my scarf and my hat. First, I've already
decided I'm going to use the colors pink and orange because I like
those two colors together. All right, friends
finish painting my hat and my
scarf, and my beak. And remember, you can use
any colors that you'd like. You don't have to use the same
colors that I'm using of. All right, so now what
we're going to do is we are going to paint
the actual Penguin. We're going to leave parts
of this penguin white. And then the other parts we
are going to paint black. Let me tell you the parts
that we're going to leave. We, we're going to leave eyes
white and the Tommy white. Then I'm going to leave this little puffy cloud on the end of my
hat white as well. Then for the feet, I'm
going to make a light gray. And then for the body, the wings, and the face, I'm going to paint black. All right, I'm going to
prepare some black paint. And the way that I do
that is I'm going to add some water to
one of my wells. Because if you use black
straight out of the pan, it will be very dark. It's a good idea to lighten
it up just a little bit. I'm going to add a
little bit more water and then just a little
bit of black paint. See how powerful it is. I'm going to paint these
little feet down here, a gray, The Penguins that
I have seen on television. I see the gray feet. I'm going to add now some more black to make that a
little bit darker. Let's see, let's test
that right here. Oh, I'd like it a little
bit darker than that. I'm going to add a
little bit more, just have to keep testing
to see what works for you. Oh, I think that's perfect. It's not too light and
it's not too dark. All righty, friends, I'm
taking a look around to see if there's any other paint
colors that I'd like to add. And I think I'm done. I hope that you had a lot
of fun with this project. I had a lot of fun teaching you, and I will see you next time.
