A Fun St. Patrick’s Day Art Project

What is St. Patrick’s Day without a few leprechauns hanging around – right? The “How to Draw a Leprechaun” tutorial is fun for all ages!

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Pencil
• Paper
• Eraser – I like kneaded erasers – no pink smudges!
• Color – use colored pencils, markers, watercolor paints, whatever you like to add color to your leprechaun!
• Pen or Thin Marker – my choice is a Uniball Signo Black Gel Pen. It goes on so smooth!

The printable tutorial is available in my Etsy shop at www.etsy.com/shop/EileenMcKennaArt.

The pdf tutorial is 3 pages and is easy to follow.
