Making Pictures with Paper and Pen

If you’re here at this page, it’s because you’re not sure how to make coloring pages specifically (although you may have done drawing or art in the past.)

PAPER AND PEN:

Alright, if you are most comfortable using a paper and pen I can help you some, but not a lot, since I don’t actually know how to draw.

1. Print out the crane outline HERE and cut it out.

2. Trace the crane outline somewhere on the paper.  You also may use a real origami crane made from 6x6 inch origami paper (instructions here) Send me your address if you would like me to send you a crane I have made.
3. Measure your crane from wing-tip to the bottom and if it is just under 3 inches then it is the right size.  Go HERE for an example.

4. Draw your picture!

Getting the picture to me (there are several options here):

1. If you have a scanner this would be the best way to get the picture onto the computer and then you can e-mail it to me.

2. E-mail me for my address and if I know you then I will give to you so you may send the coloring page to me in a large flat envelope and I can take copies of it.

3. Try taking a picture of it?  I’m not sure if this would actually work, it might distort the proportions, but if neither of the other options work then you could try taking a photo and e-mailing it to me.
