Nine Minute Ninja

Ricky demonstrates how to get depth in drawings, animate an acetate octopus and make a snappy shark tablet cover.

Ricky demonstrates how to draw a rocket, and he makes a building blast off in a cut-and-paste animation.

Ricky demonstrates how to draw hands, create gloves without knitting them, and make bookends inspired by Jackson Pollock.

Ricky is feeling ill, but his creativity is in rude health as he makes fake sick and a nose-shaped tissue dispenser.

Ricky draws a flock of birds, takes to the air on an animated stunt bike and uses an eraser to make an astronaut. But will he get brought down to earth by that annoying TV advert guy?

Gav is full of hot air, which inspires Ricky to paint a balloon cell picture and animation.

Ricky creates a Turner-inspired rain picture and demonstrates how to draw a mermaid underwater.

Ricky is a reluctant petsitter for Gav's dog, his dad becomes a digital dogsbody, an egg box hatches a cubist chicken and Ricky digs out some jelly worms.

Ricky makes art that you can try at home. That's if he is not interrupted by his real-life friends and family! While his dad gets carried away with cleaning, Ricky gets on his bike for just nine minutes of free-wheeling animation. He adds speed to a drawing with a handy art tip and makes a print that will really leave an impression.

Ricky makes a mountainous postcard using cereal, finds a library card to scrape-paint skyscrapers and turns his head into a stamp for some first-class art.
