Shoo Rayner's Drawing School
Okay, I'm trying to be a good author and ignore all distractions.
However Shoo Rayner is evil and has started a drawing school over on his website. I can't resist watching illustrators draw so now Shoo's new page has seriously set back my plans for world domination.
Here's Shoo teaching us how to draw his archetypal character, the Ginger Ninja.

I'm so in touch with that emotion.
