Creativity and Innovation.

My entire childhood was consumed with drawing. I would sit for countless hours at my kitchen table, drawing animals and trying to make them look absolutely "perfect". If I didn't think it looked exactly like a dog, a horse, a person, or whatever elaborate mural I was imagining in my head, I would shred my paper up into a million pieces and start all over, because I refused to draw with anything but a pen.

One of my favorite shows as a little kid was Pappyland, which I had completely forgotten about until I sat down to think about ways I expressed myself creatively as a kid. I would run and grab my paper and Sharpie every weekday afternoon to draw whatever Pappy did exactly like he drew it. Even though Pappy is obviously extremely cheesy, I learned a lot about cartooning from him as a little girl. Here's a video of Pappy Drew It drawing dolphins! Pappy says that you don't have to draw just like him to be a good artist, but I didn't believe him.

In the next video, Pappy colors his dolphins! Pappy even has his own YouTube channel, where you can watch HOURS AND HOURS of Pappy drawing. Has anyone else ever heard of this show, or am I the only one weirdo who has a collection of Pappy drawings? ;)
