Hellllooo Friends.
This week we revisit one of our earliest DT Podcast episodes: Gratitude. Drawing is a great way for kids (and all of us) to begin a gratitude practice. Kids can do this at home in their art studio (aka the kitchen table) or as a group in a class or after school program, or as a family. And if you/your kids listen to the DrawTogether podcast as a group, this is a great chance to draw and share out loud what you are grateful for.

Why are people so hard to draw? Is it our wonky shoulders? She shape of our eyes? The funky curves of our ear? Or our weirdly formed hands and feet?! Answer: YES. Today on the pod, we try cartoonist's Lynda Barry and Ivan Brunetti's exercises from Lynda's book Making Comics and create some simple, squiggly wiggly human bodies, then transform them into characters. Grab some paper, pens, colors and young people, and let's DrawTogether.

Yuyi Morales is on the DT podcast!!
Hellloooo! This week on the DT pod we celebrate DĂa de los Muertos with special guest childrenâs book author and illustrator Yuyi Morales! Her might recognize her Caldecott-nominated Viva Frida, or her other award-winning books, including Niño Wrestles the World, Harvesting Hope: The Story of Cesar Chavez, and Dreamers.
We spent some time talking about one of my favorite of Yuyiâs characters, Señor Calavera. Heâs the trickster skeleton star of two of Yuyiâs books: Just a Minute and Just in Case. He even made an appearance during our interview!
On this special DrawTogether Podcast, Yuyi joins us from her art studio in Veracruz, Mexico for some Day of the Dead drawing, including a fun sugar skull warm-up and alter-drawing to celebrate someone we love who has passed.
Yuyi also plays us some original drawing music on her jarana. Grab some paper, pens, colors and press play above. Enjoying the DT Pod? Can you think of someone else who would love it, too? Please share with a friend!
AND! Does your kid want to be featured on the DrawTogether podcast? Call the DT Hotline and ask your kid to tell us about their FAVORITE FAMILY FOOD. Call 1-866-4-DRAWTOGETHER with your young person, leave a message after the beep and they just might end up on a future episode.
The GUTâs First Visiting Artist: Maira Kalman!
Ask and ye shall receive! This Sunday, Maira Kalman joins us at the Grown-Ups Table where she answers some of my most pressing drawing/life questions, shares a little about her new book âWomen Holding Thingsâ, and gives us an inspiring drawing assignment. Weâll be taking questions from the table, so start thinking what youâd like to ask her, too! If you havenât joined the Grown-Ups table, subscribe for weekly creative wanderings, explorations and lessons, visiting artists, and drawing assignments - and most of all, a joyful, creative, supportive community of fellow drawers.

It's Halloween at DrawTogether! In this extra spooky episode we start with a calming circle-drawing warm-up while we listen to a poem, then learn to draw drop shadows and turn our flat circles into 3D spheres. After a quick lesson on light and shadow, we turn our 3D spheres into spooky shadow monster heads! Then we go get some candy.
Warning: this episode is spooky. It contains spooky sounds and spooky voices and spooky drawings and⊠JUST KIDDING. Itâs just silly. Appropriate for kids of ALL ages. Bwahahahaha!

Episode 3 is all about the USPS & STAMPS. After a relaxing drawing warm up, the DT Pod takes a field trip to the post office where DrawTogether Kids get their most pressing questions answered by Mekkah, an Oakland postal worker, and Bill Gicker, Director of Stamp Services for the USPS. Then we draw our own stamps featuring our favorite places, things, and people, including Mary Fields, the first African-American star mail carrier. Subscribe to the DrawTogether Newsletter for more on the USPS and Art, including what goes into making a stamp, and a look at some inspiring mail art. Everything is better when we DrawTogether!

Helloooooo DT fam.
As the school year is wrapping up, so is Season One of the DrawTogether Podcast! (Can you believe it?? 26 episodes!) As our Season One finale, we do a big-hearted DrawTogether classic: the blind contour portrait. This is a partner exercise, so grab a family member, friend or stranger, hit play above, and get ready to learn to LOOK in under a few minutes.
Because in addition to helping us imagine a world we want to see, drawing teaches us to LOOK at one another. To slow down and pay attention. I deeply believe drawing is one of the most accessible and immediate ways to create connection between people and open doors for deeper relationships. My TED talk features this drawing exercise, and goes deeper on how Drawing helps us slow down, look closely and connect with the world around us - and each other. That drawing is looking, and looking is loving. And that DrawTogether isnât really about drawing. ;)
I hope you enjoy this episode, and continue to do this exercise anytime, anywhere, with anyone. Iâve done it in classrooms, workplaces, in hospitals - I even got a bar full of strangers to draw each other all at once. Itâs the ultimate humanity ice-breaker/connection maker. I canât wait to hear what you think (and see what you see.) Do let me know how it goes.
Looking back on the DT Pod for a minute:
When we started this podcast 26 episodes ago, we never thought we would come so far. With the help of phenomenal editor Amy Standen, we learned about artists Alma Thomas, Agnes Martin and Ruth Asawa. We talked about the war in Ukraine and drew sunflowers to process our feelings and show our support. We drew the shape of sound with musician Colin Meloy, and visited with childrenâs book author/illustrator Carson Ellis. We moved our feelings through our bodies and onto the page with five finger drawings and silly emotional fruit, and made a bunch of fun imaginary animals - because why not. We drew SO. MUCH. All these DT podcasts and more are here on Substack and on Apple Podcasts.
If you or your kids missed any, they are here for you over the summer.
Speaking of Summer: next week Iâll share deets on whatâs coming next, what subscribers will be receiving in their inboxes, all that fun stuff. Plus a recap on everything DrawTogether has done in our classrooms program (SO MUCH STUFF) and some pretty awesome partnerships weâll finally be able to share.
For now, a huge thank you so much for being part of DrawTogether. There is no DT without YOU.
And as we say at the end of every class, show, podcast episode, and first podcast season (!): Drawing is Looking and Looking is Loving.
Also,
Everything is better when we DrawTogether.
See you soon!

Hellllooooo! This week on the DT Podcast, the phenomenal, Caldecott-honor winning childrenâs book illustrator/author, artist, mom, partner, friend, gardener, and llama-mama Carson Ellis joins us to talk about her art and teach us her favorite drawing game: Transmundane Tuesdays. Letâs call it TT for short. TT is a super fun drawing game anyone, any age, can play. It works like this: Carson pulls three prompts from three jars. Then she reads them to us. Then we combine all three prompts into a wacky, wonderful character drawing. Easy right? Totally. And super fun.
And thatâs exactly what we do on the podcast. With some chit chat and drawing music.
Hereâs the drawing Carson did on the episode.
And hereâs mine:
Okay, so now itâs your turn. JOIN US. Grab your supplies, press play above or over on Apple Podcast, and see what you come up with. Be sure to post your artwork on Instagram and including the hashtag #TransmundaneTuesdays and tag us at @DrawTogether.Studio so we can see it share it with everyone else, too!
You can also look at the hashtag #TransmundaneTuesdays on Instagram to see THOUSANDS of peopleâs TT drawings Carson and her fellow TT drawers have created over the years. Itâs astounding to see how everyoneâs imagination works so differently, all the different approaches to drawing, and all the effort people put into something that is purely for the joy of it. Sheâs really created something so special.
When Carson posts them on her Instagram and Substack they look like this: (Note this is not the DT pod prompt!)
So fun.
And! Be sure you subscribe to Carsonâs substack âSlowpokeâ for more Transmundane Tuesdays and general art and drawing goodness. She is one of my favorite artists and one of the best human beings I know and I promise you will be delighted and inspired. She also has a show in SF at Gallery 16 (June 3-July 31) with another favorite artist, Nathaniel Russell coming up soon!
Canât wait to see your Transmundane Tuesday drawings. See you next week, all. Everything is Better When We DrawTogether.

Hello DT fam!
This week on the DT Podcast weâre making a drawing based on an old surrealist drawing practice: Automatic Drawing. Popularized in the early 1900âs automatic drawing by famous artists like Andre Breton and Joan Miro, this exercise helps us get out of our busy brains into our instinctual bodies. When we let our bodies take the lead, itâs surprising what reveals itself on the page.
Iâll share more about the history of Automatic Drawing and body/subconcious-focused art in next weekâs subscriber news letter.
While the surrealists called this Automatic Drawing, Iâm renaming it, and calling our drawing today âBodyâs Choice". Iâm stealing this phrase from my dear friend, the writer Courtney Martin. (If you donât subscribe to her newsletter The Examined Family youâre missing out.) I heard Courtney use that terms when talking to her eldest daughter Maya. Maya was maybe 5 or 6 at the time, and Courtney was giving Maya a couple options. Instead of asking her, âWhat do you think?â she offered, âBodyâs Choice!â and Maya knew immediately which direction she wanted to pursue. It completely blew me away.
So many of us are trained to default to our rational brain for decision making. In turn, we lose touch with those first, most essential feelings - the ones that occur in our bodies. By practicing listening to the body, trusting it, and leading with it, we develop a deeper understanding of who we are and what is right for us. And while we practice noticing that what is right for OUR bodies, we also notice that itâs often different than whatâs right for OTHER peopleâs bodies. And we can develop a strong respect for that, too. By having awareness and boundaries around our own bodies, not only do we respect ourselves but we respect other people, too.
My body, my choice. Your body, your choice.
Hope you enjoy todayâs DT Podcast. Iâd love to see what you draw. Share it out on Instagram and tag @drawtogether.studio so we can share it there, too - or email us a photo here and weâll share it in next weekâs email. Speaking of, check out 8 year old Coleâs awesome Doodle Game Drawing. SO MUCH FUN.

This week on the DT Podcast: The Worldâs Best Drawing Game is back! Grab a pencil, paper, press play above and get ready to surprise yourself. Itâs fun to play on your own, and way more fun with two people. If you want to share your favorite doodle drawing on instagram and tag @drawtogether.studio, weâd love to see and share.
AND! A call for kid storytellers from our friends at Radiolab! Terrestrials, a new podcast for kids from Radiolab, is looking for a youth storyteller for their first season. Could it be YOU? Theyâre looking for stories about âtrash mammals.â Thatâs right. Mammals that are not considered cute or cuddly, but deserve some recognition. Some examples are skunks, rats, porcupines, opossums, bats, stray dogs, street cats, raccoons, coyotes, hyena, ferrets⊠stuff like that.
Tell them a TRUE STORY about an experience youâve had with a trash mammal that surprised you or changed you or your understanding of the world in some way. Make it fit in 5-7 sentences or a 30-60 second audio or video clip. Send your stories BY MONDAY to Ana at [email protected]
Also! Our homebase is here in the DT newsletter, but if youâre listen to the DT Podcast on Apple Podcasts could you take a moment and give us a rating and review over there? It makes a real difference and is a great way to support DT. Thank you!

DrawTogether hereby officially proclaims the 3rd week of April âAgnes Martin Week!âAnd to celebrate, in the podcast we explore of the work of this legendary artist and draw with a similar technique she used in many of her paintings. Press play and let me know how you grid goes.
Agnes Martinâs large, square abstract paintings (which are often drawings) appear simple and clean. I mean really, theyâre just criss crossing lines on a canvas, right? They donât LOOK like anything. But somehow they hold our attention and vibrate with a calm energy. They are filled with beauty and joy. And while they might not be a drawing OF something, they FEEL like something. Her painting âSummerâ feels like summer. Her painting âMountainâ feels like a mountain. How is that possible?
Perhaps what goes into a painting determines what comes out⊠(Yup, we talk about this in the podcast.)
Agnes Martin said âThereâs not such thing as a perfect painting.â And while we might be tempted to try to âget it rightâ when drawing straight lines, grids and dots, perhaps what makes her work - and our drawing exercise this week - so satisfying is the impossibility of perfection, and the way each of our drawings end up becoming uniquely our own.
If youâre doing this exercise with kids or a classroom, this is a great opportunity to refute fussiness and embrace mistakes. The imperfections are truly what makes this simple drawing special. Also, deep breathes, shaking out extra energy and sound effects never hurt.
When we learn about an artists life, we unlock a whole new dimension to their art - we get to see it in a whole new way. This is doubly true with Agnes Martin. While I talk a bit about Agnesâ life in the podcast while weâre drawing, Iâll share more in the subscriber email in the coming days, along with the transcript of the podcast.
(If you would like a transcript of the DT podcast and arenât able to make it happen right now, write us and weâll comp you. No barriers to art!)
Alright, grab your pencil, maybe a ruler, and I canât wait to hear how it goes.
Pencils up, friends! Everything is better when we DrawTogether,

Hellllooo!
Today on the DT Podcast we continue our sound theme with a visit from one of my all-time favorite musicians: Colin Meloy of The Decemberists. Using a variety of sophisticated sound-making tools (aka: instruments) Colin helps us explore the question âWhat does sound look like?â He plays six of his favorite sounds for us, and we use our sophisticated mark-making tools (aka: pencils) to DRAW our visual interpretation of the sound, and create an abstract musical score. No rules! Use different mediums and marks. Get messy.
Colin is not only a literal rock star, but heâs also a phenomenal writer (hello Wildwood Chronicles made with fave human/illustrator/kids book author Carson Ellis. They also happen to be married.) Colin recently launched a substack to share the BTS of his songwriting process, old tracks, lessons - def worth a subscribe. (Carson just launched an amazing art one, too!)
Iâve heard from a lot of you that you miss the DrawTogether shows. I know. I do, too. Friends, they are coming⊠Itâs just takes so darn long. YOU will be the first to know whatâs next, I promise. Meanwhile, if you like, maybe Iâll pull back the curtain a little on whatâs going on with the show, with DT Classrooms, the art kits and more for subscribers⊠Yes? No? Let me know if youâd like to hear more about that (or anything else) in the comments.
Also, with all this talk of sound on the podcast this week and last, Iâm mortified I havenât been creating transcripts for DT folks who are deaf or hard of hearing. My deep apologies. Iâm learning. As of this week, paying subscribers will receive a transcript of the DT Podcast along with behind-the-scenes notes, exercises and reading suggestions. If you are deaf or hard of hearing and canât afford a subscription right now, write me and of course weâll give you free access.
Canât wait to see your Cabinet of Sound! Post them on Instagram, tag @DrawTogether.Studio and weâll share some of them here. Maybe we can even convince a rock star to play some of the abstract scores you create. :)
Pencils up, friends.
Everything is better when we DrawTogether.

Helllloooo! This new DrawTogether Podcast episode might be my favorite yet. Today, we swap out our Art Eyes for Art Ears, head outside and draw a Sound Map.
In DrawTogether we often focus on sight - as in, âDrawing is Looking, and Looking is Loving.â But when we slow down, pay attention and truly SEE, we donât just use our eyes. We use ALL our senses when see, and in turn, when we draw. So today, we focus on a new sense: our hearing. We take our drawing supplies outside and we LISTEN to the world around us, and draw what we hear. A Sound Map is a visual story of a time and place. Itâs also a wonderful listening exercise for kids, a great mindfulness exercise for adults, and just a fun way way to connect with the world around us.
Drawing a Sound Map is a great solo, family, or group activity for the weekend or after school - and a wonderful exercise for classrooms. All you need is 10 minutes, a safe, comfortable place to sit outside, a sketchbook (or âmobile studioââ as I call it - the podcast will explain), a pencil and maybe some colors. And most of all, youâll need your Art Ears. The rest will come to you.
Iâd love to see your Sound Map. Take a photo, post it on Instagram and tag @DrawTogether.Studio. Weâll share some of them out here in the newsletter.
Next week is our 20th episode, and to celebrate we have another sound-focused DT episode featuring super special guest musician and writer Colin Meloy of The Decemberists. (!!!) Set your Friday drawing alarm clock.
Finally, ODE TO PENCIL follow up! Turns out DT peeps love: Ticonderoga, Blackwings, Colored pencils and Microns the most. The WINNER of the DrawTogether ODE TO PENCIL isâŠ. Patricia Chavez! Patricia, email me at [email protected] and weâll send you some super awesome DT pencils.

A quick thank you to our paying subscribers. Without you, there is no DT Podcast (or anything really!) If you want to see DrawTogether continue to grow, please subscribe to this DT newsletter for just $6/month. It helps us keep the lights on as we work on more shows, DT Classrooms, partnerships and projects, and continue to grow hearts with art. Thank you!
Itâs Friday! That means a NEW DrawTogether Podcast episode! We take a special DT kid request (yes, we take requests!) and the result is a super fun family or classroom drawing adventure filled with animals, monsters, superheroes and SURREALISM. While itâs only a few minutes longer than than our typical 5-10 minutes - it will provide hours of fun for a kid, family or classroom.
Supplies: For this drawing, kids will need 3 pieces of paper, a pencil, maybe some colors, and scissors. For the littler kids who arenât using scissors on their own yet, they will also need a grown up.
FLIP BOOK IT: If you/kids are working in sketchbooks, try not removing the paper. Instead, keep the paper INSIDE the notebook while drawing and cutting. Youâll end up with a super fun surreal FLIP BOOK of silly monster combinations.
Group Sport: This is a twist on the surrealist game Exquisite Corpse, in which two or more people pass a folded piece of paper around and create a mish-mash drawing together. If you want to to try that, my pal Austin Kleon (who has an awesome new Substack) did a wonderful post on it not so long ago.
Canât wait to see your silly surreal monster drawing! If youâd like to share your kidâs drawings with the DT Community, take a photo of your Silly Monster and send it to [email protected], or post a pic on instagram and tag us at @drawtogether.studio - weâll share it out on our instagram account and maybe feature your kidâs drawing in a special newsletter (include first name and age, please!)
Have fun!

Hellooooo! Pardon our delay, we wanted to get this one just right. Because this is a whole new kind of drawing podcast⊠this is an experiment, a risk, a graphic hurdle into the great unknown. This week we draw aâŠ..
Thatâs right. In this podcast episode, I take you through drawing an animal step by step, but Iâm not going to tell you what we are drawing. WHAT?! HOW?!
Grab a pencil and a piece of paper and press play above and letâs see how it goes.
Remember: thereâs no such thing as a wrong animal drawing. Weâll all end up with a fun, funny looking something - and everyoneâs will be wonderful. Whatâs important is that we slow down, listen closely, and in just a few minutes you will have drawn A MYSTERY ANIMAL. Again, Iâm not going to tell you what that animal is. But I will say itâs made exclusively of circles and ovals.
We can draw almost any animal with circles and ovals. Try it! Try and find an animal you canât draw with just circles and ovals. I dare you.
For DT subscribers (we love you, subscribers!): Tomorrow Iâm going send a VIDEO of me drawing the mystery animal along with the audio of the podcast. If you want to send us your drawings, Iâll include YOUR animal drawing, too. Letâs see how our animals are all different, similar, and all equally mysterious!
Send your drawings to [email protected]
Educators: this podcast is extra good for focus and listening skills. Love to hear how this experiment works in your classroom.
Alright, happy mysterious-circle-oval-animal drawing, everyone. Canât wait to see what you create.

Hi, DT friends.
Todayâs DrawTogether Podcast is special.
Today we take a special request from 8-year-old DrawTogether Kid Keira and her mom, Dasha. Dasha is Ukrainian and lives in SF with her family. They asked if we could make a drawing to show the people of Ukraine our support. And thatâs exactly what we do on todayâs podcast. Hit play above, or listen on Apple Podcast.
In the 10-minute episode, we talk a little about the war and feelings kids might be having, and what we can do with those feelings (acknowledge them, ask caregivers and teachers questions, look at a map, draw.) Then we draw a big bright sunflower to hang in our window. Maybe other kids in our neighborhood will see it and feel inspired to draw a sunflower for their window, too. Maybe we can take photos and post them on Instagram or Facebook or Twitter (tag us so we can share it, too!) and maybe kids in Ukraine will see them, too.
We might be far away from each other, but we are all neighbors.
For subscribers this week, iâll be sharing some great resources for parents and educators about talking to kids about Ukraine and war in general (and some Ukrainian art you can share with your kids, too.) Honestly, the info is great for grown-ups, too. We all have feelings and questions, and doomscrolling on twitter probably isnât the best way to maintain our mental health. There will be tips. :)
If you are enjoying these podcasts, another way way to support is to leave us a review over on Apple Podcasts. It makes a big difference in getting the word out. Thank you.
Pencils UP. Everything is better when we DrawTogether.
