B's artwork

Brendan is our budding artist. He loves to draw. In fact, in school, he often forgets that writing workshop is about writing words. He'd rather spend his time drawing illustrations for his stories.

Sometimes, his drawings come from his imagination. Other times, he draws characters or objects from his world of toys and TV.

Recently, he was driven to draw pictures of characters on his Pokemon shirt. We were rather impressed with the results. First, he drew Ash, one of the more popular Pokemon trainers. (I pretend to know, but I don't really.) Next, he drew pictures of some of the Pokemon.

Take a look:

Brendan is taking an art class this week after school, where he'll learn how to draw cartoons. He's excited, if a bit nervous, but is mostly interested in what characters he'll be able to draw. We'll learn more this week.
