Draw along, then talk about the choices you and the artist made.
- What simple shapes did the lesson start with to build the whale?
- Where did you slow down or rewind, and what made that step tricky?
- How did you make your whale look "cute" -- the eyes, the size, the round shapes?
- What could you change to make your whale your own -- a new color, a pattern, or a background?
