Big Giveaway! Book and $10 TPT Giftcard, Book Review and New Stuff

I have a lot of things to share with you today! First.  You have the chance to win a big prize for a special Back to School giveaway.  The winner will receive a drawing book, a $10 TPT gift card and my new Art History Icebreaker Foldable.

First, this book by Mark Kistler! You Can Draw It in Just 30 Minutes: See It and Sketch It in a Half-Hour or Less. I am working with De Capo Press to share this book.  Mark Kistler is the author of several cartooning books.  He also had a tv show called Imagination Station!  Anyone remember that? This book is more realistic, less cartoony.

I tried out a few of the drawing tutorials.
How to Draw book

The teddy bear was cute and fun.  I think this would be a good book for an art class drawing library.
