Yogi Bear Stealing Food

"What's for the snack sack?"

"Yogi, again."

"Again?" We've done Yogi scenes for the past two days. One with Yogi and Boo-Boo running from Park Ranger Smith and another with Yogi and Boo-Boo preparing a campfire.

"Yeah." I ran a search and he found a couple of options that he liked right away. "Dadda, today can you do this one? And then tomorrow can you do this one?" he asked, unable to decide between the two. I guess Yogi has made quite an impression on him. I'm surprised actually. I've never been a big fan myself. I guess he's pretty silly and Victor loves silly.

With the recent practice drawing Yogi, I was done quicker than usual. He looked over and exclaimed, "Whoa! You're done already?!"

"Yup!"

"Victor's picnic," he read on the side of the picnic basket. "Oh, I like it!" He stared at it for a long time. "Can I ever color your snack sacks?"

"Of course," I replied. "Once I draw them, they're yours. You can do what you want with them."

Cake Factory

Cake Factory

"Ooooh, a cake factory!" he exclaimed.

"I don't know what a cake factor looks like buddy," I lamented.

"Okay," he conceded, "just do a cake factory."

It's hard to say "no" to him sometimes. I searched and searched but only found one image that I could draw some inspiration from. This time I had to try to draw something mostly on my own.

It looks a little weird to me as it doesn't really follow the rules of space or perspective, but when he saw it, he cried out, "Wow!"

If it's good enough for him, then it is good enough for me I suppose. :)

Happy Birthday, Victor!

Happy Birthday, Victor!

My boy turned 6 today! This isn't a perfect cake drawing, but who cares. I was thrilled to draw it for him no matter how it turned out. I knew last week sometime that I'd be drawing this today and have been looking forward to it since then.

This time I absolutely loved that he helped out. Those are his swirls on the front. And I watched with admiration of his attention to detail as he added "smoke" above the candles.

I'm so proud of him and so excited for him to turn 6 today after so many weeks and months of build up. This is a big milestone for him and I can't wait to celebrate with him after school. What a great day!
