| How To Draw Wendy The Squishmallow |
Getting Started: Art Supplies and Avoiding Meltdowns
First things first, gather your supplies! You'll need:
- A trusty pencil (because mistakes happen, and nobody likes a sweaty palm smudging permanent marker)
- Paper (printer paper is fine, but for that extra Squishmallow squishiness, try some fluffy construction paper!)
- Pens, markers, crayons, or colored pencils (whichever speaks to your inner artist)
- An eraser (because, again, mistakes happen)
- Most importantly: a large cup of coffee (or your beverage of choice) because channeling your inner artist can be thirsty work!
Now, take a deep breath and banish any perfectionist demons. We're not aiming for the Louvre here, just some good ol' Squishmallow fun.
Step-by-Step Squishiness: Birthing Wendy on Paper
- The Body: Imagine a slightly squished oval. That's Wendy's basic shape. Get that drawn nice and light with your pencil. Remember, Squishmallows defy the laws of physics, so a little unevenness just adds to their charm.
- The Eyes: Two circles on top, like little piggy banks for dreams. Keep them spaced out a bit, because Wendy's a curious frog and needs to see everything!
- The Smile: A small, happy curve near the bottom. No need for pearly whites here, Squishmallows have a more subtle approach to toothy grins.
- The Nostrils: Just two tiny dots, barely there. Like freckles for her cute little froggy nose.
- The Blush: Two pink circles on her cheeks. Wendy's been out catching flies, and maybe gossiping with Brenda the Butterfly Squishmallow, so let's show a little rosy action.
- The Belly: Another squished oval, this time flipped upside down and attached to the bottom of the body.
- Accessorize! Does your Wendy have a flower crown? A tiny backpack? Let your imagination run wild!
The Grand Finale: Coloring Your Masterpiece
Here's where things get really fun! Grab your favorite colors and make Wendy pop.
QuickTip: Go back if you lost the thread.
- Wendy's a classic green, but feel free to experiment with different shades. Maybe she's a lime green party frog, or a deep emerald forest frog!
- Her belly is usually a creamy white, but hey, why not give her a sunshine yellow belly, or a lavender one to match her dreams?
- Don't forget the blush! A nice pink or a light red will do the trick.
Pro Tip: Want that extra Squishmallow texture? Color lightly and then use a blending tool (like a tissue) to soften the color and give it a more cuddly feel.
You Did It! You're a Squishmallow Master!
Now you have your very own Wendy the Frog masterpiece! Hang it on the fridge, frame it for your desk, or use it as a bookmark – the possibilities are endless.
But wait, there's more!
QuickTip: Repetition reinforces learning.
