Storytelling with animals

Another great class of Terry. I love to watch her classes and listen how she creates her stunning drawings! I not only love to learn more about her way of drawing and coloring , but her ideas about storytelling with cartoons of animals are so impressive. I love storytelling with my animals too, but Terry with all her experience learns my loads of skills! Skills I can only learn by practice, practice, practice, for instance with drawing all kinds of giraffes! And of course …….. . watching Terries classes! There are many more for me to watch!

The ‘story’ of the giraffe-slide is based on a song: ‘Dikkertje Dap’ of the Dutch most famous and funniest songwriter for children.  We are raised with her funny songs and books. She is translated in many languages! Just google ‘Dikkertje Dap’ to see funny giraffe drawings.

Finally I can draw giraffes without reference! Thanks to watching many, many references with google drawings and photos and many pages with giraffes like this. One of the advices of Terry!
