How to Draw: Pepe the King Prawn - Full Body

Hey, I'm back, again. Last time you saw me, I taught you how to draw the Muppet, Pepe the Prawn. Now I'm going to make a sequel. I'm going to teach you how to draw Pepe, but I'll teach you to draw his whole body.

Now let's start once more and just to assure you, you will need only the supplies you used in the previous post. Continue:

1. Complete the jacket and the shirt, this time, feel free to color them in. 2. Add Pepe's legs and color it in with the same color of his head and neck.

3. Add Pepe's feet and color them in for the last step of all.

Wow, after 12 steps, we have the real Pepe. Thanks to you, the readers. Let's hope that I get more comments over the week. Thank you, again. Unfortunately, it's the end of summer. But, have a great school year anyway. I'll be back to blog for ya'. See ya later.

How to Draw: Pepe the King Prawn

Hello, people of the galaxy, lend me your brains. Today I, Max, will show you the reader at home how to draw a Pepe the King Prawn, the wise-cracking Hispanic Muppet I talked about in "Why I Like the Muppets". The reason I'm teaching people how to draw, well, I want to show some of my viewers more of my talents. Besides writing. By the way I'm wondering what I should go as for Halloween, even though it is two months away. I'm thinking either Michael Jackson in Thriller, Beaker, or Fred (YouTube star). Think about it, give me your opinion and comment on it, or you could talk about what you wanna be for Halloween. In other words, comment about anything.

Now to show you how to draw Pepe the Prawn:

Before we start your going to need these supplies, pencil (any kind), crayons and/or colored pencils in orange, tan, white (if you don't have white, leave all whites blank), red, and any two colors of your choice.

1. First, I like to start with round eyes for Pepe, don't add any other features just yet. 2. Next, add pupils, and a peanut-like shape encircling the eyes for the top of the head, then make something along the lines of a bread loaf's height. Don't forget to add his one tooth on the left side.

3. After forming the head, I like to add his hair and antennae next. 4. Once you're done, add the neck and the shoulders.

5. You now need Pepe's jacket down to show the arms. This will be quicker than some steps. 6. Quicker than No. 5, draw Pepe's four hands on Pepe, but remember he has only has three fingers.

7. Now grab a red or dark orange crayon or colored pencil and color over his hair and antennae. 8. For No. 8, get out some light orange or peach color for his face. But don't color his tooth or any of his ordinary two eyes.

9. Last, but surely not least, get two colors of your choice (I prefer light blue and light green. His usual outfit color) and color his jacket and shirt.

So now after 9 steps we have made Pepe the King Prawn.

I'd like to thank all my readers, and pupils for helping Journey to Tennessee get off on it's feet. Thank you! I'll be back to blog for your amusement. Read more of my blog and draw if you want. Keep up on my Journey to Tennessee. Maxwell out...

Again another awkward exit. See ya!

Why I Like The Muppets

Max here. Now people always ask me, "Why do you like the Muppets?" Well, I'm here to answer that question. But before I begin, I'd like to thank all of my readers and fellow bloggers, Aunt Angela and Uncle Jeremy from OUR JOURNEY, and my mom's best friend from Alabama and one of the biggest Muppet fans and Journey to Tennessee's first follower, Andy. Thank you for reading and commenting, and I hope you like this one as well.

So, why do I like the Muppets. Well, to start the Muppets give a good sense of laughter and positive energy. Take Fozzie Bear for example, he tries to be funny but he succeeds... by not being funny. Although, he keeps trying to do it anyway.

No. 2, The Muppets always have a guest star, it's a big variety of them. From Ethel Merman, to the Mummenschanz, Don Knotts to Steve Martin, Elton John to Julie Andrews. Even Alice Cooper, hard rocker, guest starred. And not many kids know who Raquel Welch is. It just goes to show ya', The Muppet Show has history.

#3, I love the characters they are hilarious, I can even do impressions of some of them. Actually most of them I can do, sometimes even the Sesame Street characters. I love them.

There's Pepe, the prawn with a Spanish accent. Rizzo, the rat with a New York type look. Gonzo, the stunt artiste that never gives up. Fozzie, the comedian with the hecklers that never stop heckling. Miss Piggy, the pig... I mean girl, with a strong arm. "Hi....ya!" she says. And Kermit, the host with problems and a green outside. But my favorite is the Muppet Labs guinea pig, Beaker. You remember him he was nominated for a Webby award. He won.

Another thing I like about them is their sketches. The variety of performances is very open. There's Pigs in Space, parody of Star Trek, starring Captain Link Hogthrob, Miss Piggy, and Dr. Julius Strangepork. There's The Swedish Chef and his variety of food. There's Muppet Labs, "Where the future is being made today", with Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker. And there's Veterinarian's Hospital, "the continuing stooory of a quack who's gone to the dogs", starring Rowlf as Dr. Bob, Miss Piggy, and Janice.

But the one thing I like the most is the youth within it. I once heard a recording of a man say, "The most sophisticated people I know, inside their all children. We never lose a certain sense we had when we were kids.", the late, Jim Henson says.

So I hope you get to know the Muppets as much as I do. So I say to you, Meep, Wocka Wocka, Hi ho, and WOMAN! And goodbye.
