Learning to draw is as easy as signing your name.
You hear me say it after every single drawing, sign your name, take pride in your work, but your name can also be a drawing.
Let me show you.
My name is J-O-E. Well, you can take just about any letters and turn them into a drawing.
I'm gonna take this O and E, and turn it into eyes.
I'm gonna bring this around into a nose.
Here ears, line down, and then another ear.
I'll come across, back and turn that into a cowboy hat.
(upbeat music continues) Eyebrows.
And a big mustache.
Down, over and up, connect.
A little hair on the side.
And sign your name.
Take pride your work.
There's a cowboy.
Learning to draw is as easy as signing your name.
