Awkward Animal Headshots Game

Practice portraits and animals at the same time!

I haven’t stopped thinking of this game since the idea struck me in the middle of the night on Tuesday. Animal portraits have been dancing around my mind since seeing so many of your beautiful tortoise images in our session with TJ. I’ve already set a date for an official drawing session (sign-up is below), so consider this game a sneak preview!

How to play

  1. Write down a random number between 1 and 10 (or have somebody pick).

  2. Repeat step 1! Now you’ll have 2 numbers.

  3. Find the numbers you chose in the list of animals below.

  4. Find the second number you chose in the list of people below.

  5. Each one links to a photo. Combine the two images to make a drawing!

  1. Gray Rabbit

  2. Alpaca

  3. Rhino

  4. Macaw

  5. Horse

  6. Ape

  7. Chicken

  8. Raccoon

People

I had WAY too much fun here. If you missed us live, here’s the replay for you to draw from. Hope to draw with you some upcoming sessions! My drawings from the session I’ll paste the images below if you’d like to remix or revisit them, which I strongly encourage!

P.S. We have a nifty navigation page now!
