THE NEW BOOK!

2012-02-24T18:03:00.002-08:00

My 4th book since starting Harptoons Publishing. Sales have been great! Drawing Animals With Numbers is now on it's 2nd printing and so is Drawing Monsters With Letters. I have learned so many lessons along the way and one of those lessons is listen to your wife. My wife has been on me ever since Drawing Monsters to create a drawing book using lowercase letters. Sometimes I need to hear something 30 times or more before it sinks in and then one day while driving it dawned on me "Baby animals and lowercase letters!" It was the perfect fit. So, here is the newest book in the Harptoons bookshelf Drawing Really Cute Baby Animals With Lowercase Letters.

Great Art!

2012-01-31T18:02:00.001-08:00

Walking through the halls of Liberty Tree Elementary and the first thing you notice is all this amazing student art. I have been to a lot of elementary schools and the art at Liberty Tree was really impressive. Not just the work, but the themes of the work and the number of different project hanging on the walls from different grades. Here are some samples.

Than You Liberty Tree Elementary!

2012-01-31T17:53:00.000-08:00

Liberty Tree Elementary was great! Thanks again for inviting me to your school and drawing with me.

Thank You Somerset Elementary

Drawing With Gary the Guppy- Episode 2

2012-01-12T06:17:00.000-08:00

Still learning Toon Boom and I think I did much better on the lip syncing. Toon Boom claims to do this automatically for you, but it does a less than stellar job. So you have to go back and pretty much redo all the talking parts. The Sea turtle came out great, but I didn't match the bottom of the turtles body to the head...A phttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifre planning mistake. I did all the lip syncing on the Turtle, not even using the Toon Boom lip Synch feature.

Animated Drawing Lesson

2012-01-11T13:10:00.000-08:00

http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
I have always loved animation, but not enough to want to make it a full time job. So recently I decided to create a series of animated how to draw videos based on my book "Drawing Sea Animals With Numbers." I am hoping to make 8 episodes, but that is a huge undertaking. I have two completed so far.

Drawing Christmas- Let's draw Belsnickel

2011-12-20T06:53:00.001-08:00

Well folks, my final Drawing Christmas video is here. I was so happy to get these all completed before Christmas and more importantly before Christmas break so kids home and bored of television and video games would have something fun to do. This last video I wanted to draw something different. So I picked a little known character named Belsnickel. Belsnickel is the opposite of Santa. He takes presents from bad kids and replaces them with switches and coal.

You can watch the video and then download the drawing pages and print them off and use them to draw your own version of Belsnickel. Just click the [LINK] and have fun!

Learn to draw a magical reindeer!

2011-12-18T07:40:00.000-08:00

This video shows how I would draw a reindeer for a typical project. When I draw for work, I don't use numbers and letters, but I tend to scribble a loose idea and then go over it again and again until it look right to me. You can watch the video and then download and print off the drawing pages here [LINK].http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

Learn to draw Santa!

2011-12-18T07:36:00.000-08:00

My latest drawing videos don't use numbers or letters to teach drawing. You see, when I draw characters for a book or a puzzle I don't use numbers and letters. You can see how I tend to draw for my job with this video and also download the drawing pages and print them off so you can practice. Download your drawing pages and watch the video here [LINK].

Kelso's Choice

2011-12-05T07:25:00.000-08:00

Here's a project that I did all the illustrations for called Kelso's Choice. It teaches kids how to problem solve and resolve issues in a peaceful way. I didn't animate the commercial, but it's always fun to see your drawings or characters move around.

Teaching Workshop

2011-11-28T03:13:00.000-08:00

I will be hosting a teaching workshop this Thursday for educators in the state of Ohio. The workshop is all about the reasons why to encourage drawing in a classroom. How we use drawing and art to communicate and how to promote a rich drawing environment in the classroom.

Inspiring Me

2011-11-27T08:43:00.000-08:00

One of the cool things about doing school visits is the kids inspire me. Kids have such amazing ideas. When I saw this drawing of Dundog, a monster dog drawn with the letter D, it just made me think of the monster in a whole new way. I always saw Dundog as a slow moving sort of lazy bulldog type creature. But when I saw this students piece I imagined a ferocious monster that everyone feared. It has these loud black and white markings on it to warn others to stay away and large plumes or feathers on it's head. I had to draw my own version, but I still the original is way better.

Art from my online School Visit

2011-11-27T08:20:00.000-08:00

The teacher at The Junction Public School in NSW, Australia was so nice to scan some of the kids art work and e-mail it to me. Some really great artists were drawing with me that day.

My first online school visit!

2011-11-25T19:45:00.000-08:00

I have been working on my online school visit program since May and finally completed my first online school visit to the The Junction Public School in Australia. This was something I have been dreaming of doing for over a year and to see it finally happen was so great. Now, did everything go perfect? Nope, there were a few problems.

1. Scheduled the wrong date! Yeah, I actually scheduled the wrong date and then had to go back and change the date. So that was really bad.

2. Then the wrong time! Always check your time zones. We agreed to a time of 7pm my time in Ohio 10am in Australia, but I forgot about daylights savings time. I'm not sure how many countries do daylights savings time, but it's another thing you have to figure out when setting up a presentation on the other side of the world. I think I have found an app to fix this problem.

3. The classroom webcams wouldn't work...I think I had everything turned on but for some reason the classroom webcams were not working properly.

The only way to learn how to do something amazingly well is to just do it, and learn from it. I learned a lot from this first visit and look forward to my next school visit to another school in Australia in just two weeks.

Oh, and one more thing, THANK YOU Junction Public School! You guys ROCKED!

Mid-Ohio-Con (Update)

2011-10-24T09:15:00.000-07:00

I had a great time at the Mid Ohio Comic Con this weekend. It was my first time ever showing at a con and I wasn't sure what the response would be. But not only did people really enjoy my books and art they just had so many compliments. Even people that didn't buy would just stop and tell me what a great idea it was and wished me luck. I was so nervous going into this show because, let's face it, most people come for super heroes, zombies, Star Wars and more adult entertainment. I will be back next year to show again and looking to do Philadelphia Comic Con in June.

This is me and my son in front of my booth at Mid Ohio Comic Con.

Selling Books at Mid Ohio Con

2011-10-20T11:21:00.001-07:00

This will be the first time I set up a table at a comic book convention. While I have been to a number of conventions I have never tried tabling at one. It will be interesting to see how it goes. I know most of the purveyors of these shows are college to middle aged men that are fans of super heroes and sci-fi things. So will they want to buy kids books on how to draw using numbers and letters? My hope is that they will have a nephew or a kid of their own that loves drawing and be willing to buy them a book or two...plus Christmas is just around the corner and my books are not easy to find in stores, plus I sign and draw in them!

Let you know how it goes when I get back.

Leaders of Imagination

2011-10-10T05:33:00.001-07:00

I am going to create a list of those people that used their imaginations to create something great that inspired others. These were the first people that jumped into my head, but I will be adding to the list from time to time. Please let me know if there is anyone you would like to see on the list.

The sessions will be based on an hourly rate and the audience will be able to buy my books. The prices are still being worked on, but to get things rolling the first 25 schools that sign up for an online visit will be absolutely FREE!Just post here if you are interested or go to www.harptoons.com and locat my contact info under the school visits button.

A is for Arrgor

2011-07-20T17:41:00.000-07:00

So this is a more advanced version of the monster Arrgor from my new book Drawing Monsters With Letters.

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but its been a really busy summer. I had a great time visiting with the kids at The Clark County Library in Winchester Kentucky. What a beautiful library and such a great space to host childrens programming. Thanks to all those that attended.

It's a mess right now and I was just getting ready to clean it up, but I thought you might want to see the dirty version...maybe I will do a before and after.

Thank You Card

2011-06-03T10:15:00.000-07:00

I just received a personal thank you card (hand made) from Jennie Cross at Norwich Elementary in Hilliard. She writes:

Dear Steve,
My students loved your presentation and your books. Parents and teachers have been telling me how their kids love to draw with numbers and letters. The kids really loved having you here. Thank you for making that affordable for us.
Hugs,
Jennie Cross and the kids at Norwich

My Wall tile

2011-06-03T06:33:00.001-07:00

Yep, I was asked to create a wall tile two years ago.
Talk about pressure! I'm supposed to hang my art up with the
best of the best...I'm not worthy!!!

Mazza Wall Tiles

2011-06-03T06:25:00.000-07:00

Here are some wall tiles that line the halls of the Mazza Museum.

The Mazza Museum

2011-06-03T06:19:00.000-07:00

The Mazza Museum is a gallery dedicated to the art of picture books. All the art in the gallery is original picture book art. Many of the countries best childrens book artists have spoken at events here or have their works on display here.

Mazza Museum is located in Findlay Ohio on the campus of Findlay University. Its a small liberal arts campus nested in a small town, so it is surprising to find the countries largest collection of original childrens art here.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif There is also a book store full of books for kids along with many other novelties based on kids books. If you have a passion for childrens books or the art of childrens books it is well worth the visit to the Mazza Museum to see the works of art up close and personal.

Thank you Norwich!

2011-06-02T09:17:00.001-07:00

I spent three days at Norwich Elementary and one of the first things to greet me was this large sign with all my monsters. The school spent a lot of time working on my books and drawing all kinds of monsters, animals and sea creatures.

The Tussing Whale

2011-06-02T09:12:00.001-07:00

When the teacher told me to park my car by the whale I wasn't sure what to expect. Then as a turned the corner I saw this large tail by the parking lot. Seeing a whale tail sticking out of the ground looked odd to me. It looks like it was dropped head first from an airplane and it stuck in the ground upon impact.

Tussing Time Capsule

2011-06-02T09:10:00.001-07:00

There was this really cool piece of art right in the middle of the school hall. It was a time capsule and this was the sculpture sitting on top of it.

Toll Gate Elementary School

2011-06-02T08:50:00.000-07:00

While I was at Toll Gate Elementary I had a chance to sit down with some of the students and draw one on one. I drew numbers and letters and had the kids create their own monsters. It's fun to watch their little imaginations run wild.
Enjoy!

Scooby Snacks!

2011-06-02T08:28:00.000-07:00

This was another great lunch box I saw at a school visit. A more modern version of the lunch box but Scooby and the gang in the Mystery Machine give it a classic feel.

Classic Lunch Box!

2011-06-02T08:26:00.000-07:00

Look at this old metal lunch container. Just as strong as the man of steel himself. I saw this classic during a recent school visit and had to take a picture. They don't make them like this anymore.

Artwork from Indian Trail Elementary

2011-06-02T08:24:00.000-07:00

This has been a really busy month for school visits. With the end of the school year just days away I just finished my last school visit for the year. Finally I have a chance to post all the photos I have taken in the month of May and June.

New Banners

2011-05-06T05:46:00.000-07:00

My theme for my shows and website is Draw, Create, Imagine or is it Imagine, Draw, Create? They both sound good but basically I want kids to use their imaginations and get drawing! Get Creative! Use that brain to create something that doesn't exist.
Just have fun being creative!

So to drive that point home I had these large banners created so when I do my presentations the message will be in plain http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifview the entire time.
Oh and here is where I get my banners printed if anyone want to get some made...They do great work.

Steve's School Visits

2011-04-13T20:47:00.000-07:00

This is a compilation of schools and events I spoke at this year. The basic theme is to inspire kids to create art, use their imagination and follow their dreams.

My brand new book comes out this Friday!

2011-04-13T13:19:00.000-07:00

I'm excited, my brand new book Drawing Sea Animals With Numbers comes out this Friday. This will be the third book published by my new company Harptoons Publishing. What makes this so different from the other three books?
1. Teaches kids how to draw animals that live in the oceans and seas.
2. Evey creature that you learn how to draw has a few short facts them. Kids will hopefully learn and draw at the same time.
3. A rating system based on the difficulty of each character. One pencil for easy-four pencils for hard.
4. The last spread in the book shows ideas that didn't make the book, but instead of tossing them out I decided to let kids see them and maybe they can figure out how to draw them on their own.

I'm really excited about this book and can't wait to start sharing it with kids all over the country.

Each newsletter comes with FREE coloring pages for the kids. So sign up for my newsletter here at the blog or friend me on Facebook.

MAZZA Museum Visit

2011-04-04T07:33:00.000-07:00

The MAZZA Museum is dedicated to the art of childrens' books. The gallery is full of the works of famous illustrators past and present and has an entire library of books all arranged by the illustrators last name. I was asked to be a speaker at an event for kids called Funday Sundays. It was a great event for the community and the kids really seemed to enjoy it.

Signing 130 Drawing Animals With Numbers Books

Before a school visit I sign 260-520 books. Every kid that orders one of my books will get my autograph and a cartoon drawing. There is always a kid that asks me if I really sign each book, so here is video proof.

Hooray, Hilliard Darby Elementary!

2011-04-01T10:37:00.000-07:00

I had a great time yesterday speaking to all the wonderful kids at Hilliard Darby. When I arrived at the school there were so many great drawings of my monsters I was wondering what did they need me for? Some really great young artists at the school and an amazing staff to boot.
Thanks for making me feel so welcome!

Here is my first animated commercial. I should use the term animated very loosely here, but there are time the fish appear to move.

I am really excited about this third book and I know the kids are going to love it. There is a real excitement I feel as I work on each of these books and I love sharing it with others.

This is the Return Of The Jedi sketchbook. I still have my original copy of this book and as I was going through books to get rid of I came across this. I was about to toss it, but all those memories of me carrying this book around for two years straight came flooding back. I don't know how many times I brought this book with me to school. How many of the illustrations I copied. I just loved this book. I wanted to make monsters just as cool if not better than these creatures in the book, but was never able to. It was a book that inspired me to draw and create and use my imagination.

Drawing Books I loved as a kid

2011-03-24T07:59:00.000-07:00

Here are the how to draw books that I used as a kid. I still have my copy of How To Draw Comics The Marvel Way. My parents ordered the book at the store. I carried that book with me everywhere I went for weeks. The Lee J Ames books I had to check out at the school library and the public library. They were pretty popular with kids, and the pages were all worn out and sometimes kids drew on the pages of the book. I hated when i saw drawings in the books. I actually saw Lee J. Ames when I was a kid at an event and thought he was so cool. A friend of mine was smart and brought all of the school's library copies for him to sign. It was my first brush with fame.

Animated commercial

2011-03-21T19:07:00.000-07:00

I am using the term "Animated" very loosely here. I am working on a commercial for my new book Drawing Sea Animals With Numbers. It's going to star a bored gold fish that is excited to talk to anyone that comes near it's fish bowl. Hope to have it finished this week.

By the way Drawing Sea Animals With Numbers is going to be available on April 16th!

Review from a teacher at Hooven Elementary

2011-03-17T08:47:00.000-07:00

The buzz in our building today was unbelievable, from what I've heard. I got some great emails from staff, but I was actually out today because my husband had knee surgery. I'll be excited to talk with the kids tomorrow at school. I stopped in the Harrison Kroger to get my husband some "treats" tonight and ran into one of my students and his grandpa. His grandpa came with him last night. He actually stopped me and thanked me. He said Ethan, his grandson, told him I had helped get you to our school and that it was the neatest school event he had been a part of in ten years with his grandkids. On my way out, he stopped me again and said, "Thanks again, Mrs. Harmon. That was really cool!". So know that you made a difference. More later...

Good Evening Steve,
I wanted to Thank You so,so much for a great day today. Our teachers and students were beyond impressed with you,your presentation and your books.

Groveport Elementary is definitely inspired and people are already asking for your sea animals book and if you were coming back. I really appreciate your correspondence and your professionalism . Thank you again for your time and for truly leaving your mark at Groveport Elementary. Personally, it was so nice to meet you and I look forward to seeing your new books.
