For the “something awesome” request
Cool things to draw
Dragons, sharks, dinosaurs, rockets and heroes, drawings that look impressive on the fridge but are still built from simple shapes.
Older kids want drawings that look cool, not cute. The trick is that a dragon and a kitten start the same way, a big egg shape and some light guide lines, so the lessons below are as followable as anything on the site, just with a few more steps and more detail at the end. The harder shelf at the bottom is for eight-and-ups who want a challenge.

Questions parents and teachers ask
What are cool things to draw that are still easy?
A shark fin, a skull, a lightning bolt, a rocket and a T-rex all look dramatic and are twelve steps or fewer. Start with those before a full dragon.
Can you draw logos here?
No, the site teaches drawing real things and original characters, not brand logos. The space, shield and flag lessons are good if a child wants to design their own badge.
