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!

Fire Up Independence Day

Maxwell in the house. What's up home-dawgs. If I'm not clear... tell me. Tell me, dudes. Anyway, today's the 4th of July. Things are awesome especially since yesterday I saw awesome fireworks. One even looked like Mickey Mouse which was really cool. Even though it wasn't Disney World fireworks. The fireworks only lasted for about 15 or 20 minutes or less, but it was still worth it.

Oh, and today I saw my Lakeland Elementary art teacher, Ms. Orange. It is a bit weird that her name's a color and she's an art teacher. I showed her a bit of my summer artwork, like the owl mask I made at Scout Camp, the picture I drew of me and David playing wizards from my school, and my new comic books I'm working on like, Muppet Pirates of the Caribbean, and Mr. Pig.

This is an awesome holiday but not as much as Christmas or Halloween. This Independence Day is so cool. Sam the Eagle, Muppet, would of loved it. But did you know it was the day that we of the United States adopted the Declaration of Independence? This day is known as the national day of the United States.

Now during the American Revolution there was a legal seperation between the American colonies and Great Britain (England) occuring on July 2, 1776 when the Second Continetal Congress voted to approve a resolution of independence that had been proposed by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia in June. After voting for independence, the Congress turned it's attention to Declaration of Independence, a statement explaining the desicion with Thomas Jefferson as the lead author. Soon after revising and debating the statement. They finally approved it on July 4, 1776. Thus by 1791, Independence Day was born.

Wow, a little history lesson never hurt anyone. Hope I celebrate the 4th as much as you may be. Have a great 4th of July. Comment and see ya. Oh, 180 more days till 2010.
