My six year old son really likes Trogdor, so we showed him the sbemail where Strong Bad teaches his friends how to draw a dragon. Surprisingly, the little boy actually learned how to draw a dragon from watching that clip. And because of that, his grandfather now thinks "Strong Bad" is some sort of creative, educational website for children. :rolleyes:

I attach a few samples. Notice the consummate v's. :cool:

I thought it was for kids to when I first saw it... But then I heard the word crap and I realized, no.. Just no..

Fortunately, my son doesn't understand English. ;)
Anyway, he hears language much worse than that in school.

That's awesome!

When I was little I had an Ed Emberley (http://www.amazon.com/Ed-Emberley/e/B000AQ77ZK) drawing book - it's like the Trogdor instructions, you start with a simple shape and then build on it to make an animal or whatever. I think I remember reading in an interview that the Chaps were thinking of his books when they did the Dragon cartoon. Anyway, your son might like them.

So this is, uh, you know, we learned to draw the Ed Emberley way.
Also, I believe this (http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Georgia_Tech_-_26_Apr_2007) is the interview you're thinking of.

That looks just like the style he likes. Thank you. :)
