Celebrations & Treats

Christmas, Halloween and the sweet things — a tree, a sugar skull, a cake and an ice cream — each drawn in six frames from the largest shape to the smallest.

  How to draw a Christmas tree

  Six frames, a decorated tree with presents underneath. The tiers arrive by size and already decorated, the star halfway, the presents last.

  Step sequence made by us from a single drawing: each step keeps the lines of the one before it and adds to them.

  How to draw ice cream

  Six frames, two ice creams: a three-scoop sundae in a tall glass beside a two-scoop cone. The cone's scoops first, the cherry last.

  Step sequence made by us from a single drawing: each step keeps the lines of the one before it and adds to them.

  How to draw a cake

  Six frames, one layer cake with a slice cut out. The wavy icing top first, then both cut faces showing the layers, and the five cherries at the end.

  Step sequence made by us from a single drawing: each step keeps the lines of the one before it and adds to them.

  How to draw a skull

  Six frames, one decorated sugar skull. Almost the whole outline lands in the first frame — then the jaw, a flower in each eye socket, and the teeth last.

  How to draw a Halloween pumpkin

  Six frames, one carved pumpkin. The middle rib with its face comes first, and the curling tendril last.
