>> Dav Pilkey: Hey, everybody. This is Dav Pilkey, and today, we are going to draw Grampa. Grampa is, of course, Petey's father and if you learn how to draw Petey, you almost know how to draw Grampa. So, Grampa has a big round head, just like Petey, and two eyes, just like Petey. But he's usually very angry, so I'm going to put the letter V up above his eyes, right in between them. That always makes everybody look angry. Add two ears, there. And a round nose. [ Music ] And a little line down here, and an angry mouth. So, right now, he does kind of look like Petey. So, we will add some round glasses on either side of his nose. Now, he's starting to look different. [ Music ] Now, at the bottom of his glasses, we're going to add two little, tiny lines, to make it look like he's kind of old and got some wrinkles under his eyes. And then Grampa is not a fan of shaving, so we're going to add some stubble to his face. [ Music ] And some whiskers, over here and over here. Now, Grampa is a lot like Petey, where he has -- on the left side, he has two whiskers, and on the right side, he has three whiskers. Now, one of the differences between Grampa and Petey is Grampa is -- he slouches more than Petey does. So, instead of his body being connected to his head at the bottom, it's actually connected at the side, to make it look like he's slouching. And then we'll give him a bent elbow, here, and a hand, like he's got his hand on his side. Now, his other hand is going to be up in the air, like this, and he's going to be shaking his fist angrily, as if to say, "Hey, you kids. Get out of my yard!" [ Music ] All right. So, put a little -- a couple little movement lines on either side of his hand, and then we'll add some stripes. And he's a lot like Petey. It doesn't really matter how many stripes, or if he has the same number of stripes on each arm. Sometimes, it's the same. Sometimes, it's different. It doesn't really matter. Now, his legs are usually bent. So, we're just going to draw two bent lines, like this, and two squishy feet, like this. And then we'll put some stripes there. [ Music ] Now, remember that Grampa's tail is round at the end. So, it's a little bit like Petey's tail, except that the tip of it is round. And we'll add some more lines there. And then we'll put some grass down there, at the bottom, so he has something lovely to stand on. And there he is. There's Grampa, in all his grouchy glory. If you want to make him look like he's really mad, you can add some steam coming out of his head, up there. Now, he's really angry. Okay? Anyways, I hope you had fun, drawing Grampa, and I hope you're doing well. Take care of yourselves and each other. We'll see you soon. Bye-bye.
