Listen to the episode then scroll down for the Creator Club exclusive activity and coloring page!
Our incredible designer, Camilla Franklin, illustrates one of the stories from each podcast episode. This week, we wanted to provide Creator Club members with a coloring activity based on her illustration for "Betsy’s Grand Slam." Hopefully, this will provide a fun bonus activity for your creators to enjoy while listening to the episode!
If You Like Action, Make it Action!
In the story "Jumping Bean Jack and Bouncing Bailey", by a kid from New York named Bridget, the characters jump on a trampoline. If you're illustrating a story, one way to create exciting action poses like jumping or leaping is to use motion lines. It helps to start with simple shapes, so we're going to talk about how to draw motion lines...using an actual jumping bean character!
