Chapter
1
Animals are funny. But they get
even sillier when you dress them
up like people. Not all animals like
wearing clothes. (Don’t actually try
putting a frog in a skirt.) But you can
do anything you like on paper!
To be a silly sketcher, all you need
is a pencil, some paper, and a funny
bone. Just follow the steps.
You’ll have hilarious
art in no time.
What You Need
pencilspencil sharpener
(just in case)
eraser
colored pencils and markers
lots of paper

Let’s start with a splash to get the
giggles going. Draw a giant whale with
a tiny hat, and try not to laugh!
Chapter
2
Draw a big oval-like shape on your paper. Add a circle eye and a
curved eyebrow.
Step 1
Add a cloud of air coming from the blowhole. Draw in motion
lines too.
Step 5
Erase the lines inside the overlapping shapes.
Step 6
Draw on a pair of glasses and some bubbles. Draw a small hat
above the blowhole.
Step 4
Finish It Up!
Use markers to outline
your drawing. Then try co
lored
pencils for shading it in.
Add on some fins, a pupil, and a smile.
Step 2
Add detail lines on the body. Give the whale a blowhole too.
Step 3

If you have trouble making the shapes,
try tracing them first. Tracing is a good
way to get a feel for how to draw something.
Then try it on your own.
Tip
Start with a long oval shape. Then add eye circles and a mouth.
Start the chin with a backward J shape.
Step 1
Use straight and curved lines to add arms, legs, and a wavy
skirt.
Step 2
Erase the lines inside the overlapping shapes.
Step 3
Give a frog a wavy skirt,
and you have an animal that
will get the crowd cheering.
Cheerleader Frog
Fill in the eyes with big circles. Add funny eyebrows, nose
slits, and a tongue.
Step 4
Add details to make a shirt and eyelashes. Start the frog’s
hands and feet.
Step 5
Use circles to finish the frog’s hands and feet. Add detail to
the skirt.
Step 6
Complete the sketch with motion lines.
Step
GO TEAM!
