Mae who is eight and Della who is five asked me to draw them some drawings. Mae asked for a dolphin with a mouse on its back and Della suggested an octopus who is best friends with a weiner dog.

These are very good ideas and they are really smart.

Let’s see how they came out.

“I don’t believe you drew these Bob, is there video evidence?

There is!

Check it out and draw along. Or just listen to me drone on and on for an hour about pretty much nothing.

Oh! I sent them the drawings!

I just got back from the post office. The original drawings are on their way to Mae and Della!

Last time I did a drawing for Robert and sent him the drawing!

So send me a suggestion and maybe I’ll draw your idea with Bob Shapes! I’ll send you the drawings and everything!

Send your ideas to bob@bobshea.com

This Bob Shea Drawing Club featuring Bob Shea is brought to you by Bearsuit Turtle Plays a Game. Oh, and remember to buy my books. As many as you can carry. Wouldn’t it be nice if your nickname was, “That person who always has an armful of hilarious, delightful books that they purchased at the local independent bookstore”?

Okay!

I have been on book tour for the runaway=smash-hit BEARSUIT TURTLE PLAYS A GAME! Pick up a copy today from your local independent bookseller.

So I haven’t been in the studio to draw with you guys.

While I was away, Robert requested an otter and a pony and was very patient. So let’s have a big round of applause for Robert for being so cool about things.

Here’s the video where I draw an otter a pony and myself making waffles at a Hampton Inn. Also, a dire warning about dangerous clothing.

If you want me to draw something on the Bob Shea Drawing Club featuring Bob Shea, send me an email like Robert did.

Make a mural, solve a story and help Bearsuit Turtle!

And help this bunny! He’s New in Town!

Here are some stories from last month.

As a recap, here’s the story.

Looks pretty hopeless.

Not to Molly!

Option 1:

Unicorn is magic, he can leap right over the bear.

Option 2:

Sneak over and put blackberries on a blanket next the bear. He’ll roll over to get near them while he sleeps. Then get a pulley and 15 (or 51) elephants. Lift the bear and skate under him to get to the jump!

Bonus!

Forget the jump, unicorn changed her mind, skated away from the bear and toward a sweet water slide.

And here’s Violet J.

Suddenly, a T-Rex came out of nowhere.

“I love Bear rice!” he said. And he ate the bear in one giant bite.

Unicorn was free to skate! She shared her powers with T-Rex and they became friends.

Joanna P

Rollerblading Unicorn throws a bone. The bear acts like a dog and chases it. He will also go on the sweet jump and put on rollerblades.

Nice!

And Beatrix D

Unicorn grabs the bone and moves it closer so he can smell it and wake up.

Then, he wakes up and she throws the home so he will go chase it and move. Then she can jump her sweet jump.

Good job everyone! See if you can solve this months story!

Oh! And Draw a long with me on YouTube!

Just a reminder that I will be drawing live on YouTube this afternoon. I’ll start at 4pm EST. If you miss it, the stream is available afterwards. Since it’s for kids, I can’t have chat going, so it’s just a chill time drawing along with me. It’s relaxing and fun after being in school all day.

Here’s a link to my YouTube channel.

Oh, and have you come up with a way to help unicorn? Molly C. sure has.

Molly C. is really smart and good at drawing. She sent me some other drawings too, which was cool.

Can you help unicorn like Molly? Send your answer here!

Okay, so I’ll see you guys later today?

Sincerely,

Bob Shea of the Bob Shea Drawing Club featuring Bob Shea
