Tom Hatten

Tom Hatten was an actor for TV shows and movies. He was also the the host for for various shows, like The Popeye Show. On this show, he would take time to create a amazingn drawing from a random line sent from a viewer. In the end, you couldn't even see the original random line.





Well you are going to do something very similar, except you are going to take an alphabet letter and turn it into an animal whose name starts with the alphabet letter you chose. For instance, if you choose the letter A, you can transform that letter into an animal that starts with the letter A: ant, alligator, aardvark, etc.


To the left of the picute of Tom Hatten, click on the videos to further understand what you are going to draw.

Choose any letter in the alphabet and draw it on your paper. It can either uppercase or lowercase.


Next, choose an animal whose name beginns with that letter. This will be the animal you draw.

Now start working with the letter. You turn in a different direction or add more lines. You can even draw it again, like I did for the letter B.
