This is Cartoon Academy.
Thanks for tooning in.
(playful, percussive music) (bell dings) Habitat is where an animal lives, and there are lots of different kinds of habitats.
An animal could live in the North Pole, or in the jungle, or in a desert.
Today, we're gonna visit a farm to meet two friends, a pig and a duck.
Let's draw!
(pigs grunt) We're gonna start with the pig's snout.
It's an oval shape on its side.
We're gonna repeat that oval, but this time, it's gonna be vertical, or up and down.
(bubble pops) (pigs grunt) (playful music) One, and two.
Now for the eyes.
Up, around, and down, up, around, and down.
Our pig is looking off to the side, so we draw the pupils.
Now, for the mouth.
We're gonna give our pig some chubby cheeks, (bubble pops) so we put a letter c, and a letter c backwards.
Now I'm gonna draw a curved line connecting them to one another, just like this.
Mouth is open slightly, so we're gonna put a letter u shape.
Now for the tongue inside the mouth, a line across, curved like this.
(bubble pops) We're gonna fill in the inside of the mouth, just color that all in.
Just like this, color it in nice and dark, so we can see inside the mouth.
Just below the mouth is the lower lip, a little dash, like this.
(bubble pops) Now for the head.
We're gonna start off just above the eye with a line coming down, and then we're gonna come out, around, over, up, and there's another line.
It should match pretty evenly.
And then, just some quick little lines across the top, a little bit of hair on top of the head.
Eyebrows are a quick dash.
Now for the ears.
We're gonna come out, around, and in.
Look, there's a capital letter G. The other side is the same thing in reverse, out, around, and in.
Everything that's on the left is on the right.
This is called symmetry.
It's like a mirror image.
If we were to put a line right down the middle of the drawing, the left side and the right side would match, but in reverse.
Now for the body.
We come down, out for an arm, down, in, and up.
Again, remember symmetry.
We want our left side to look like our right side, so same thing.
Down, up, down, in, and up.
Now for the hooves, those are the little hands and feet.
One, two, and then let's color that in a little bit.
We're gonna leave a little bit of white space there.
(bubble pops) Let's color it in just a little.
Now for the rest of the body.
We do a line curved down, and down.
And we wanna make him submerged in the mud.
He's playing in a mud puddle.
So we have sort of this quick texture to the mud, like this.
(bubble pops) We're gonna add a little bit of grass here as well, right up front, just some quick lines.
Scribble them in.
Two little lines on the belly.
Now for his best friend, the duck.
We have an oval, (bubble pops) and then a letter c. (playful country music) Add the pupils.
This time we're drawing what's called a side profile.
He's looking to the side.
Come out, down, and up.
(bubble pops) Add a little dash right there.
Down, in.
Now we're gonna follow that line.
We're gonna come down, around, and up, and connect to the eye.
We see a little bit of tongue on the interior, (bubble pops) or inside, of the mouth, and then again, color that in.
Two little lines on top of the beak.
Now for the eyebrows.
Let's make it two quick lines.
For the head, we're gonna start right on top of this eye here, come around.
Notice the back-and-forth texture of the line.
(bubble pops) (playful, percussive music) And down into the neck, and a line up.
Now for the first wing.
Come out, point down, out, point in, out, point in, out, point in, scribble, scribble, scribble, and in.
For the body, we're gonna come down, around, and up.
You see a couple of little tail feathers sticking up back here.
Now for the other hand.
Out, thumb, out, point, out, point, out, point, and scribble our way back in.
Two little lines for the belly.
Now for the legs and feet.
One line down, two lines down.
One line down, two lines down.
We're gonna draw a letter c, (bubble pops) and then come out, add a letter w on its side, (bubble pops) and then back in to match up right where we left off on that top of the letter c. Now, the same thing in reverse.
We're gonna come around, out, letter w, and in.
Good, there's a duck!
Now, to complete the drawing, we're gonna add a little bit of the setting.
(bubble pops) Setting is where or when a story takes place.
We're gonna add just a couple little things behind our pig.
We're gonna maybe add a fence post.
Come up, around, and down.
A line across.
There's another fence post over here.
Around and down.
Add a couple lines that'll go right behind our pig, just like that.
Over and down.
Same thing down here, right behind.
You don't even have to draw the whole thing, you just draw part of it, just suggesting it.
There's a fence there.
Little bit of texture on the fence post.
Then some grass in the background, right behind the pig.
And then we're gonna complete this sort of mud puddle here, we're just sort of coming around and adding a few lines to define the edges.
And that's it!
That's your pig and a duck on a farm.
Be sure to sign your name.
take pride in your work.
We've had a lot of fun today, but now it's time to draw to a close.
See you next time!
