Emu
Yup! He's going for a walk around Phoenix Wonderland and giving balloons to all of the visitors he meets☆
Emu
Oh, but I'm supposed to teach and not just draw. I'm still not too sure how that's gonna go...
Ena
Hmm... Well, you'll be teaching little kids, so showering them with praise first might be important.
Ena
Yeah. Looking for what they do well and complimenting them by saying things like, “Oh, that's so wonderful,” or, “You drew it so well,” could work.
Ena
And then gently give them some advice when you see something that you think they should fix.
Emu
Um, so... I'm not very good at giving others advice...! Is there something I can do about that?
Ena
I'll draw something for you right now, so why don't you give me some advice regarding it?
Honami
Thank you!
I never imagined myself drawing these lines so well...!
I sort of can't believe it...!

If you can do this, then I think we can get you to pick a photo and draw exactly what's in it. Let's try it out!

Honami
If this is the best I can do, maybe I should give up and be Emu's assistant instead...

(To be fair, there have been times when I wanted to run because things got so hard...)

(I need to teach Honami in a way that lets her do just that while building up her confidence. What's a nice, simple style that anyone can learn...?)
Ena
I got it.
Let's get you to memorize simple shapes so you can draw things more cartoonishly!

In other words, you draw in a way that exaggerates a subject's most prominent features. For example, a cat has a round head with triangular ears...

Ena
So, wouldn't it be easier to break things down into their individual parts? A circle for its face, triangles for its ears, and so on and so forth...
Honami
A circle for its face... Triangles for its ears...! And I'll draw a couple of lines on each side of the circle...!

Ena
Next, let's try drawing a bear!
A circle for its face and a pair of small circles for its ears... Like this, Honami.

Hehe. Alright, let's keep this up and keep drawing more animals. Our next one will be...
Honami
This is the first time anyone's been able to guess what I drew...! I couldn't be happier!
Ena
And it's been a pleasure to teach you.
Hehe. You've made some huge strides since your first drawing.

Ena
Yeah, it has this really abstract feel, so it might actually look really nice in a frame.
Honami
W-Wait, hanging my drawing up next to that Remidle painting doesn't seem like a good idea...!

Thank you for inviting us.
Your shadowing's next weekend, right? I wish you both the best of luck.

Honami
For teaching me how to draw, making my art easily recognizable and praising me the way you did... I really appreciate everything you did.
Ena
Yeah.
I'm really glad you're saying that since I can't exactly say that I'm good enough to be teaching...

Yes, I learned to have some confidence in my artistic skills. So, Ena, thank you very much!

(But I'm starting to see an elephant and its individual parts! Now I get it, Honami...!)
Ena
(This must be its ears... Here's its nose... It probably wasn't intentional, but the way she drew everything is really interesting.)
Ena
(Oh, and here's its face...
Is it smiling...? I couldn't tell initially because of how this drawing looks overall...)
