Take the Shape Drawing Challenge at the Verde Valley Comic Expo
Get ready for a day of creativity and fun at the Verde Valley Comic Expo! On March 29, 2025, I’ll be hosting the Shape Drawing Challenge—a hands-on, interactive drawing event designed to spark creativity in young artists. Join me at the Cottonwood Recreation Center at 11:00 AM as I demonstrate exciting drawing techniques that turn simple shapes into incredible characters and objects. Plus, I’ll be exhibiting all day in the Exhibit Hall, so stop by to check out my books and say hello!
What Is the Shape Drawing Challenge?
The Shape Drawing Challenge is an engaging drawing activity based on my book of the same name. Just like seeing shapes in the clouds, this challenge encourages kids (and kids at heart!) to take basic shapes and transform them into anything their imagination can dream up. From goofy monsters to cute animals, every shape has the potential to become something totally unique!
During the event, I’ll guide participants through the process of turning simple circles, squares, and triangles into creative masterpieces. The best part? Everyone gets to draw along! Whether you’re an aspiring artist or just looking for a fun activity, this challenge is a great way to explore your artistic side in a relaxed and supportive environment.
