I started writing out this lesson yesterday but I once again got side tracked and started doing something else. So here I am today ready to finish something I started. Up next we are going to be diving into a tutorial that will show you "how to draw a possum for kids", step by step. The actual correct spelling of this rodent's name is opossum, but we spell and say it like the 'o' is silent. Possum's are one of the animals on my top ten nastiest animals list. I'm sorry if I offended you in any way by saying that, but I can't help it, the possum is an ugly, ratty looking animal that creeps me out. In order for younger artists to want to even draw such a hideous looking species, I decided to try and make my possum creation somewhat viewable. I managed to create a cute looking version of a possum, and I think you will have fun drawing it out. I will dismiss myself so you can get busy. I still have more drawing fun coming your way so stay tuned in to see what's next.

Hey, Dawn, do you think you could do a tut on how to draw Skyward Sword Zelda? I love the way she looks! I figured you would probably see it sooner on a more recent tut than on a Zelda related tut.. And Tiki the chibi, i missed a ton a tuts, too! I was away on a camping trip from Wednesday to Friday. B) rock
