Harptoons School Visit

Hello drawing fans, Steve Harpster here and I do school visits where I teach kids how to draw, create and imagine. I have been visiting school and drawing with young artists how to draw for a good number of years. My programs are fun, easy to run, and best of all, affordable. Want to learn how your school can have a Harptoons drawing presentation?  Just go to the SCHOOL VISIT section of my website and fill out the school visit form and you will be taken to the School Visit Information page. I hope to draw with your students real soon.



Happy drawing!

Turn Number 15 into an Alien

Creating how to draw videos on the road isn't very easy, but I am trying my best to keep on drawing and sharing my love of drawing with everyone out there. So have fun drawing this Alien using the number 15.

Draw Baby Groot - Harptoons

Hey Drawing Fans! What a busy school year it has been. I visited 93 schools this year from Ohio to Texas. Every school was awesome and I had a great time drawing with all my young artist friends. I also say Disney's "Guardians of the Galaxy," last week and it was an excellent flick. Baby Groot stole the show and was a fun character to watch and "root" for (get it? root for.) So enjoy this video and check back soon for more awesome drawing vids.

Draw a Dragon - Harptoons

So this video was a fun experiment for me. I filmed and edited this entire video on my iPhone. I wanted to see if I could create a great drawing video as easy as possible just using my iPhone, a white board, and my imagination. This month has been super busy, school visits, freelance projects, kids swim lessons, cub scouts, and getting my taxes organized. I had to find an easy way to create how to draw videos and keep them looking fun. So here it is... I really liked how this video came out and I plan on doing more videos like this in the future.

Draw a Leprechaun - Harptoons

Here is a fun video that I came up with a while ago and just couldn't wait to share it with the drawing public. In this video I take the number 17 and turn it into a leprechaun. I also used my new Mevo camera to film this video. I like the fun camera movement it does, but I still need to get used to some of the settings...a few times the camera was focused on some odd things and caught me off guard.

Draw King Kong - Harptoons

This week I decided I came up with the idea on how to draw King Kong. It was a last minute idea that I had to see happen...so I started filming right after one of my school visits. After a school visit I am really tired, but I really liked this idea and with the new film of King Kong coming out this week it was the perfect fit.

Inktober Day 1

Hey, Inktober has started and it's a great daily challenge for artists to create art daily and share it with the world. Anyone can do this, this is a challenge for anyone that enjoys drawing and creating art. The only rule (as I understand it) is you need to ink the art. That means you can use a sharpie, a pen, a quill pen...any kind of ink you like.



Happy Drawing (inking)

Draw a Cool Monster - Harptoons

Hey there drawing fans, I am really excited about this video because it has my new intro video. Learning to make You Tube videos isn't easy, but I love making videos. I love trying to make them better each time too. I always wanted to redo the intro and make it a bit more fun and manic also. I think I achieved that?  I am releasing all my books as digital downloads in my Harptoons Store. I was getting many requests from people in other countries where shipping is too expensive. So I am working over the next few weeks to make all my books available for digital download.

Harptoons School Visits

It's time for another year of school visits! Yes, I actually go to schools and draw with 200 - 400 kids all at one time. The school visits are really fun and it's amazing to be in gymnasium with 400 kids all silently drawing and working inside the creative space of their heads. Kids love to draw, but don't always know what to draw or feel confident enough to start a drawing. I show them how to turn letters and numbers into really amazing characters and the kids love it. Want to find out how to book a Harptoons school visit? Just click on this LINK to find out more info.

School Visits

Wow, what a year. I am scheduled (as of this day) to do over 96 school visits. That's a whloe bunch of schools. I have been to several sates this year. Texas, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and soon Michigan. The response at every school is always great. Teachers had no idea how much kids love to draw! Now teachers are incorporating drawing into their own classroom lessons. I even have some lesson plans on my website that teachers can use for FREE. You can check the out here LINK.
