Sharks also have a great sense of smell. They can smell their dinner a long way off. Two thirds of a sharks brain is dedicated to it’s sense of smell. That’s probably why sharks are such lousy artists. Their so busy looking for something to eat they forgot all about how much fun it is to draw… but I didn’t. I love drawing sharks and if you do too here’s all you’ll need to draw one of your very own.
Things you need to complete this lesson:

• A black marker to make your lines.
• Some Paper
• Paint, Crayons or Markers to color him in.

To draw the mighty Brachiosaurus you will need:

• Some Paper
• A Pencil
• An Eraser
• Optional- Paint, crayon, markers or something else to color him in.

The Brachiosaurus lived over 150 million years ago and was over 85 feet long. It weighed over 50 tons and had a neck that was over 30 feet long. The Brachiosaurus was a plant eater so if you could travel back in time and meet this enormous beast you’d have nothing to worry about unless of course he stepped on your toe.

Some cats are big some are small but all cats share similar features. Next time you’re with your cat take a minute to notice some of the things cats have in common. The more of those things you can include in your cat drawing the better it will be. Hope you have lots of fun drawing this little guy.

Have fun drawing your very own raccoon. Make sure to keep your garbage can lids on tight and don’t leave cat or dog food out on the back porch or this little guy might just move in with you.

I didn’t really think
as I offered him a drink
and then started to draw
he would end up as a rhino sipping soda from a straw

…and that’s the story of the rhino sipping soda from a straw. If you’d like to learn how to draw your very own rhinoceros sipping soda from a straw just

First you hear the footsteps, then he leans back and roars that terrible roar. The whole town goes crazy. Little army dudes run in every direction. Wait, little army dudes don’t fire those tiny rockets at him you’ll just make him mad. If you make him mad he’ll use his atomic fire breath on you…..ahhhhhhhhh!!!! too late!!!

I always had a blast drawing those scenes. I thought you guys might too. So here’s a little 10 step drawing lesson I put together.  Have fun.

I’ve been messing around with Google Docs a bit lately and decided to try it for a tutorial I built a while back. The original was built in HTML and took forever. It was a ton of work and after I posted it I found a bunch of errors, which of course was heartbreaking.  I’d put off fixing it for the longest time because it was such a monumental time task.

Last week I was playing around with Google Docs and decided to check out the presentation option.  Rebuilding this tutorial seemed like the perfect guinea pig. It ended up taking me just over an hour and was very simple to figure out (if you’ve ever built a Power Point presentation then you’re all set. If not, don’t worry…  you’ll get the hang of it in no time flat). Google saved me a ton of time, was a piece of cake to use and best of all, I did it all for free. If you haven’t checked out Google Docs yet you can check it out here. If you build something cool and would like to share it please post a link in the comments section. Look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Anyhow, I had been muddling along with Safari for a while now and kept meaning to switch back but you know how things go. You get super busy and dealing with the wrong browser is not enough of a speed bump to slow down the work flow. This morning I was up a little early and decided I would take 2 seconds to switch back to Firefox..only when I got there I completely forgot how. What!? Yeah, I know…. that’s what I thought.

Switching browsers is like riding a bike once you know how you never forget …only I did. So that’s why I’m writing this article. If you’re like me and need to put the training wheels back on for a minute here’s a quick 3 step how to switch you default browser tutorial for you.

Step 1: Click on the Safari menu

Step 2: Find the default browser.

Step 3: Pick your new favorite browser. That's it.

Speaking of my brother, I’ll be featuring a video soon where my brother, the amazingly talented Gregg Ostrom, composed and played all the music. You guys are going to love it. He plays a mean guitar. You can check him out here playing with Emily Hurd.
