Mark Kistler's Imagination Station

Draw the furry Koala family from Australia and then take flight while sketching a colorful Cockatoo. Mark explains how to create the 3D illusion on the 2D page.

Mr. Mark draws the ever huggable Space Hamsters and then draws their home on Hamster Planet. Mr. Mark begins with light blue lines, encouraging you to begin with "whisper" light pencil lines. Texture, shading and overlapping are the magical Renaissance Words that will make your hamsters pop off the page. Learn about the art of Alexej von Jawlensky.

Termites are pests, but make a fun and funky drawing. Learn one of Mark's top tips, the "angle box," which will help your drawings pop off the page. Begin your drawing with a light pencil line, then define it with a dark pencil line.

Learn to draw a friendly dragon and then a gregarious grouper (fish) and colorful coral tubes. Sample the work of Claude Monet and learn the magic of shading and overlapping. Be sure to sketch lightly with a pencil before drawing in the dark lines.

Mark starts off with the Twisting Tornadoes of Talent and we get another visit from the Space Hamsters. Contour lines, shadow and foreshortening are the Renaissance words to remember and study with your yay-work. Former "Simpsons" and Disney Animator Tim Decker stops by and draws a wiener dog. Be sure to sketch lightly with a pencil before drawing in the dark lines.
