PIG

What do you give a pig with a rash?
Oinkment :-) !!

Pigs are omnivores, and are famed for their ability and willingness to eat or try to eat nearly anything. In the wild, they forage mainly for roots, leaves, grasses, acorns and nuts, and fruit. They are primarily raised for meat and leather, and their hairs can be used as bristles, to make brushes. Because of their success as foragers and their excellent sense of smell, pigs are also used to hunt for truffles
Pigs are much more tolerant of cold than heat. Pigs have no sweat glands, so they can't sweat. They roll around in the mud to cool their skin. The layer of dried mud protects their skin from the sun. If available, pigs, who are great swimmers, prefer water to mud.

• Write a big O and a small one inside it.
• Write two Cs to start making ears.One should be opposite of the first one.
• Join these Cs with11 to face.
• put two dots for eyes and two dots for nose.

•  Write U for body.
• Write four 11. Two for arms and two for legs.
• Join tips of these 1 with W or 3.

• Put a dot for belly buttton and write a small e for tail.

Oink !! Oink!!

What happened when the pig pen broke?
The pigs had to use a pencil!

Pigs are very intelligent and learn quickly. They pick up tricks faster than dogs. Pigs are very social animals.

LIZARD

Why did the lizard go on a diet ?
It weighed too much for its scales !! :-).

Lizards come in various shapes and sizes, ranging from a few centimeters (geckos and chameleons) to 9 feet or more (the Komodo dragon). They are cold blooded reptiles with scaly skin, and some species of lizard can shed their tails when the are in danger, but not all species of lizard are capable of doing this.
Lizards tend to be more active during the night as lizards spend the day basking in the hot sun in order to warm themselves up.

The lizard we are going to draw here is a little complicated. Just stay focussed and follow the figure as you read instructions. It will come out a lizard I promise.

• Start by writing V.
• Write two more Vs for neck.
• Now write three Cs as shown in next figure. I hope you have an eraser handy for this one as we might have to adjust the size of Cs a little bit.

• Write S for tail.
• Make feet with two Ls on each side. Note the right Ls have been turned around.
• For hind legs we write bigger upside down V covering the smaller one on each side.

• To make toes write two 3s together at the tip of each leg.
• Finish tail by writing another big S. start that S at the left hind leg and finish this S by joing it to first S we wrote.
• Put two dots for eyes.
• Join tip of V of face to tip of tail with another line.

See we did it. Practice it one more time and this time it will be better. You can then draw a family of lizards.

What is a chameleon's motto ?

A change is as good as a rest ! :-)

No rest for me though, while I have some time ,I should quickly move to the next one. I hope you are enjoying my lessons.

OWL

Why are owls invited to so many parties?
Because they are a hoot to have around :-).

Owls are believed to be among the smartest of all birds.
Owls are fascinating to observe due to their behaviors. They are almost always found living alone.
They have large eyes, a rounded body, and small ears. They also have great vision and sense of smell. They can fly very quickly even though most of the time you see one it may be perched and not moving at all.
There are two main categories of owls, typical owls and barn owls.  Lets draw a barn owl. I love this owl.

• Write C first.
• Write another C turned around.Think of it as the mirror image of first one.
• Write a two flat Us, you can also think of it as bent I and one U as shown in the next figure.
• Write small Is at the each tip of upper flat U.

• Now join this I and second flat U with M on each side.
• Write two upside down Us for feet.
• Put two dots for eyes and finish feet by writing 3 joining edges of each U of feet.

• Now write two tilted Is for eye brows and two Is for wings at the start of U we made for body.
• Write V for beak.
• Finish wings by writing W on each side of Is we made in earlier step.

Hoot!! Hoot !!

What does an owl with attitude have?"

A scowl! :-)

OTTER

Why did the famous movie stars go to the river?
They wanted to give out some otter-graphs! :-)

The otter is a small mammal that lives both in water and on land.
The otter has five toes on each of their four feet that give otter strength to swim in the water and the stability when climbing up muddy river banks. On each toes of the otter, there are sharp strong claws which add  strength and performance of their feet both in water and on land.
Most Otters are very social and they usually have great time with each other. They are quite playful. Lets make a playful otter.

• Start by writing two big Us and then a small U on top of it.
• Write an upside down U to finish making head,
• Join the small U we made for nose with I.
• Write two upside down U on each side of head to make ears.

• Put two dots for eyes and few dots on each side for whiskers.
• Write a big U for body.
• Lets make arm by writing C as shown in above picture.

• Write U starting at the beginning of C and join the other end of U to the end of big U of the body.
• Make another arm by writing  U.
• Finish arms by writing C for the first arm and small U for second arm.
• Write Is on each side of mouth if you want whiskers.

What good would an otter be without its otter-half :-) ? So here are two of them.

OCTOPUS

What makes an octopus a good fighter?
He's very well armed :-).

An octopus looks like a large domed head sitting on top of an array of swirling arms. Actually this "head" is called the mantle or body and contains all of the octopus's vital organs - including three hearts. The majority of the octopus's nervous system is located in its arms and these are highly flexible and amazingly strong. Each arm has two identical rows of suction cups which not only grab and hold prey, but determine the texture, shape and even taste of the item the octopus is touching. An octopus can regrow arms it has lost.

• Write a big upside down U.
• Write eight S for arms.

• Write similar S alongside the first one joining the ends at tip.
• Put dots for eyes if you want to animate it . Write U for smile.

Octopus is ready.

What did the octopus say to his date?
I want to hold your hand, hand, hand, hand, hand, hand, hand, hand :-).

LADYBIRD 1

What do you call a bird that is a female?
A lady bird :-)
Lady birds are not birds. As you must alraedy know they are insects. In fact, they are generally considered useful insects as many species feed on aphids or scale insects, which are pests in gardens, agricultural fields, orchards. They are one of the prettiest insects around, my personal favorite.

• Start by writing O for face and upside down U for body.
• Write two small Os as shown. Join them with head with two Is.
• Make neck with number 11.
• Join U of body with I.

• Make eyes with dots and smile with U.

• Make dots with Os, Us and Cs.  Color.

Why can't a ladybird hide?

Because they're always spotted! :-).

LADYBIRD 2

Which fly captured the ladybird?
The dragon-fly :-).

Some more facts. Ladybirds are beetles and so possess two characteristics that distinguish them from insects of other orders. They are hard forewings that cover the abdomen and meet centrally plus a
biting mouthparts.

• Start by writing O and two small O on either side of O.
• Write T inside big O.
• Join small O to body with I. Make eyes with dots.

• Make dots with Os, Cs and Us.

Color this pretty insect.

Which insect could go to dance?
A ladybird , because it was wearing a pretty red dress :-).
