About my drawing
What I was doing: Maaga akong dumating sa aming opisina ngayong araw. (I arrived an hour early for work)
Whom I was with: Habang mag-isa, naisipan kong magdrawing muna. (While alone, I drew something)
So now I’m sharing you my favorite foreign singers who truly make me happy.
This is Jessica’s third sketch! View previous ones here.

It was drawn while listening to music.
It’s called “Sepideh” which is the name of the singer I was listening to while drawing.

Draw-a-thon at the Children’s Museum in Manila
9 DecLast December 1st, I held my first draw-a-thon. (You know what a marathon is, right? It’s just like that, except that you’re drawing.) It was at the Museo Pambata (Children’s Museum) of Manila, Philippines, for their Children’s Advocacy Program. I brought in DrawHappy as well as my other drawing project, Rorsketch (a visual perception project where you draw your interpretations of clouds). After showing them some current sketches and making them warm up their hands, we got to drawing.
Kids, I have to say, are not only talented and completely open to new experiences, but also insatiable when it comes to pouring their imaginations on paper. The terror of a blank canvas doesn’t apply much. Here are some of the sketches:
Head on to this post for how they did on the clouds.
Here are some photos of the event:
Then we had chocolate ice cream, fudgee bars, and grape juice. Oh, to be eight years old again!
Thanks so much, Museo Pambata, for hosting, and to the awesome kids for all these drawings!
