Draw with Rob
When the coronavirus pandemic quarantine period began in Spring/Summer 2020, He realized that lots of people were going to find themselves at home with their children for several weeks/months looking for things to do. So he decided to post a draw-along video every Tuesday and Thursday at 10am GMT that parents could watch with their kids and, hopefully, make some nice pictures. Visit Biddulph's Twitter page on Tuesday and Thursday mornings for the latest draw-alongs. "All you need," he says, "is a piece of paper and a pencil, and maybe some colouring pencils". Due to the time change, it may be easier to watch the videos after they have streamed live. All videos can be found here: http://www.robbiddulph.com/draw-with-rob
