for fun fact did you know that frogs use hollow trees as megaphones now you know - ah hi and welcome to draw time with mr. Mayberry fall time edition its football week on draw time so we're drawing things that have to do with American football today I'm going to show you how to draw a megaphone so let's get started it's time to draw okay I'm gonna start right here in the middle and I want to start with the top of the megaphone it's going to make a curve up and then put two curves here on one on each side and then a curve down and this is the opening that you yell through I'm gonna make a curve come up a little ways from the bottom edge here make a curve going the same direction as this one below it and then I make a curve up and you can shade inside of that if you like that's the opening that you yell through the megaphone is what the cheerleaders use to amplify their voices so that the crowd can hear them as they cheer and so they cheer on the team using the megaphone starts off narrow up here at the top and that gets wider as it goes down and I'm gonna go ahead and use a straight edge use a ruler to keep the lines straight and also help me get the right angles to balance it out so I'll go down at it angle towards the right and then I'm gonna try to match that over here on the left side I'm coming in a little ways from the edge so there's a lip hanging over the edge and then I try to match that angle opposite bit equal right across like that okay next I'm gonna make another curve that matches this one but down lower here so I'm going to curve down and around like that this top part this is a metal rim here we're going to make another metal and below this would be probably some type of heavy cardboard or it could be plastic I guess but a heavy heavy cardboard probably so what I do here is going to start above this curve on the end here and kind of wrap around it same thing on the other side start up above that line just a little bit and wrap around it and then I'm going to make a line that follows the same goes the same direction as this curve right here right underneath it and kind of the same width is this part up at the top just follow that all the way around and connect to the other side okay next there's a seam here where this material is wrapped around and then bolted together so I'm going to start come in waves from the outside they make it slant the same as this outside line it might get a little wider at the bottom just like that and then before we draw we're going to draw some bolts here that connect those that together I want to draw a handle I'm going to come down about this far draw a line a little bit of a curve at the top of it it's going to slant down to the right then it's going to follow the same direction is this outside and then it's going to slant it back in and then go down again so this is a handle it it comes out away from the megaphone so that you can put your hand in there and hold it okay so we make a second line the foa's same direction as these first lines I can make a little oval there that where it's riveted on and then I want to make some more rivets go in the same direction as these two right here so I'm going to just make a little mark and kind of space it out all the way down okay so here's the little marks I made I can go back and make them just a little bit bigger but these are the rivets that hold this together hoping they get bone together and I want to keep them in a line I'm going to keep them lined up just like that okay I can add some shading to this and I'm going to try to make the same curve down I'm using the edge of the pencil instead of the end there's curving back and forth will go along the outside edge just a little bit to fill in of course you can add whatever colour you want it to whatever team you're cheering for you might use the colours of that team by making this curved here it also adds an extra dimension to it makes it look like it it's rounded like it comes out at us you can go back and make some lines that curve down that way okay I'm going to darken the outside edge also this seam right here okay and for final when I add a few pom-poms just a couple pom-poms here so what I'm going to do is kind of make a central part for the pom-pom it make lines that curve around just like that we'll put another one over here they're just kind of laying on the ground right next to the megaphone okay now what I want to do is make it look like there's little pieces that come out so kind of triangular shapes the radio radiate out from the center I'll make longer ones first go all the way out to the edge and then we'll make another layer of shorter ones that overlap them just like that okay then I can go back and maybe darken in every other one it's kind of shaded in a little bit again you could use team colors for this as well very kind of just kind of sketchy I'm gonna do the same thing on the inner pieces here to the main part of this whole thing is the megaphone but I'm just adding this for just as an extra we'll go around the outside edge and follow the contour make a darker line so there's one now do this either one the same way okay another layer here on top okay Stadium every other one and then the inside ones and then go back around the contour darken that okay clean up your drawing get rid of any lines that you don't need that color if you'd like and this is our drawing for today a megaphone well now that you know how to draw a megaphone why not take some time and make one and then use it to cheer on your favorite team well that's all for now thank you for taking time to draw with me I hope you'll come back again and remember if you want to be a good artist do a little drawing every day ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit whenever in it with it
