I’ve found a lot of great drawing ideas over at www.fotosearch.com. If you ever get stuck for new ways of drawing common items, try searching their clip art to see what comes up.1. I started by drawing my turkey on black paper with a pencil. If you want to see the steps, follow the project I have posted here and then add some more details and patterns to the feathers and body.
2. Trace all your pencil lines with a white Marvy Opaque Stix. The white is really fun to draw with as the line first seems clear, and then turns bright white after a few seconds.

I love this idea! A great way to teach pattern and texture and the white on black looks great!
With all my chalkboards I may have to draw a big one of these to greet my guests on Thanksgiving!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks for another inspiring piece. I have tried to source the Marvy Opaque Stix at our friends at Dick Blick but alas NO! Do you have any suggestions?
I'm trying to remember where I got the markers. They came in a pack of 6 or so. I only shop at Michael's, Staples, and sometimes Aaron Brothers so it has to be one of them. Hope that's a good enough lead for you...
Many thanks, I'm in the States soon and usually head to Michael's before I unpack my suitcase :) Saldy, I've never heard of Aaron Brothers, and we have Staples here in the UK so can do that tomorrow.
Hi Kathy,
I thought you might like to see the turkey chalkboard drawing that I greeted my guest with yesterday, for Thanksgiving! Thank you for the inspiration!
