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!

School's Out... and Back in Again

Hi, this summer is awesome... warts and all... but, since I'm getting homeschooled. I'm getting a lot of stuff to go on my curriculum. You see it's awesome how you can go to school at home. We actually thought of it because we're so busy now with my auditions, and Ms. Carrie's acting classes, and all the kids that want to play with me at dad's office. But it's weird, we used to laugh at homeschooled kids.

So, nowadays we're getting back to Ms. Renee Kemper's voice classes to work on getting into Narnia. Last time we met at the "non-constructed" part of Playhouse on the Square, she said I was really good with my vocals on my songs and warm-ups.

Yeah, summer begining to ending by now, sorta. But I'm trying to last the fun till August. Only, this summer's gone by, especially with the death of Michael Jackson, the new specials on TV (ex., He Could Be the One, Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana), and all the fun I'm having. Especially the Lincoln Log mansion I made today.

I'm also looking forward to seeing G-Force, and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which I woulda' seen already but I've been waiting to go at the right time with Braxton. The movies... I haven't really had time for this summer, but I'm hoping to get back to that when dad gets a bit more patients this year.

Well, to cut this blog short, have a happy end of summer this July. Watch G-Force and I'll be back soon. Have a happy day from us at Journey to Tennesee.

He Was A Thriller

Former king of pop. Musical genius. My idol. Announced today about forty minutes before 5:30. My idol, Michael Jackson, has been confirmed dead, of a heart attack, at age 50. His albums were awesome. His songs were awesome. He was awesome.

Michael Jackson died in current hometown, Los Angeles. One of the greatest singers in the history of Earth is gone. His fame was invincible as he was a hit at age 9. He and his brothers had formed a group known as the Jackson 5. The band in which I sing songs from.

The seventh child of nine had a great life in his youth. As he had made many hits including, ABC, I Want You Back, The Love You Save, and Ben. His solo career went even better with other singles, Shake Your Body, Billie Jean, Beat It, P.Y.T (Pretty Young Thing). And the famous song known to everyone who is anyone, or at least the people from his time, Thriller, which was the biggest selling album in the world and produced 7 hit singles along with 50 million copies sold worldwide.

To me the controversies mean nothing. Jackson had it all. I feel bad for him wasting his money, but in his whole life, he did as much good as Disney's Friends for Change can do to the Earth. His career was a success. His come-back tour was going to hit the U.K. later this year. Rescheduled for never once his death was confirmed.

After 50 years, he made history, being compared to other artists of his day. Mostly Elvis Presley. I and his family of a wife and three kids, Paris, Prince, and third nicknamed, "Blanket", will especially miss him as much as he will miss being alive. As he was a Thriller.
