Request a Drawing of Something... Anything!
In the comments below, tell me what idea, concept, story, vocabulary term, or totally random thing you'd like me to draw next! I can't guarantee your request will be picked, but I sure will try to make all dreams come true.
Let's hear your thoughts! No proposals are too weird -- I do very much love random giggles -- but please keep all requests middle-school-appropriate as I'm a 7th grade teacher by day and my students read this site.
Shy about leaving a public request? You can also privately send a request through my contact form.
A drawing of a dog going to heaven ❤️
Thank you for your request, Annie! I've added it to the list and will let you know if it gets published. Sending good energy!
My 3 year old niece just starting taking her first dance lessons during the first showing of her performance she appeared very shy but very cute and adorable. In spite of that she danced her little heart💕 out, what image can you draw to describe the adjectives used in my story to portray her first dance performance? Thank you!
What a lovely image and request! I will see what I can do and will get back to you. Congratulations to your niece on her accomplishment, and kudos to you for having such a brave and determined neice!
Prepositional phrases ! 🤗
Added to the list! Thanks for the request, Amber.
Hi Lillie,
Delightful site, and delightful that you're an English teacher! At some point the distinction between 'much' and 'many' became clearer to me. The old method of countable or not didn't work when students asked, Why is it 'much money' when we can count money? We saw that if the noun is singular, 'much' is always the right word, and if plural, 'many' always works. But this is rarely taught, and maybe your cartoons could help get it across.

Thanks for your kind words and for this excellent suggestion, Nancy! I'm adding it to the list!
Thank you, Lillie, for generously sharing your work. How about a lesson on TOPIC vs THEME? Julie
Julie, what a brilliant idea!!! That one always stumps my students and it's so important. I'm adding it to the list and will let you know when it's complete! Appreciate your kind words and suggestion.
@Julie, your wish has been granted! https://drawingsof.com/topic-vs-theme/
Hi Lillie! I thought of another one... 🙂
Sensitive and sensible for ELL students.....
Not sure if you speak Spanish or not, but this is a common mix up b/c sensible in Spanish means sensitive in English, but because sensible is also a word in English, people will often use that instead. I have very sensible skin, for example. Or I am a very sensible person - when they mean to say sensitive. In trying to explain this to a friend, I realized it seemed more drawable than explainable...! which is why I just thought of you! Just an idea! Hugs!
Ah, great idea! Adding to the list. Keep 'em comin'!
Hi Lillie, My name is Sylvia and this is new to me. Can you explain what the coding language is? And when I would use your drawings?
Hi Sylvia,
Thanks for your message. I'm not sure if I understand your question about the coding language. I hand draw each of the cartoons -- they are not made by code. There are several ways to use the drawings, but one way would be to share the link with someone the article could help. For example, if someone was trying to quit coffee, you could share this: https://drawingsof.com/how-to-quit-coffee-benefits/ . If someone wanted to understand the difference between pear, pare, and pair, you could send them this link to read: https://drawingsof.com/pair-vs-pear-or-pare/ . Does this answer your question?
I would love to use the following if you have an inspiration: suspense, the three types of irony, and allusion.
🙂 Love your work!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for these perfect ideas!!! Adding them to the list and will let you know when each is done.
Melissa, Suspense is now up! https://drawingsof.com/suspense-meaning-examples-literature/ The others are coming soon. Thanks for your requests!
My irony lesson is now up: https://drawingsof.com/types-of-irony-definition/ !
Hi Lillie!
Affect and effect?! Seems I have to re-learn the difference way too often, and deep down, I don't get it! (shhh...) But something about it just doesn't stick. Maybe I just need to see it explained in art!!!
I love your blogs and newsletters!!
Hugs!
Ahh, challenge accepted! Great idea! Will let you know when it's done... Thanks for your idea and kind words!
Could you draw an Original Character (OC) of mine? She has dark skin, bushy dark hair, heterochromia (a blue eye and a brown eye) and she usually wears an orange T-shirt. Thanks!
Hi Willow,
Thanks so much for this request! Are you looking for a cartoon or more realistic style?
Reading a book
Thanks for the request! I will work at it and let you know if it's created!
I love what you do, Lillie!
Do you have any idea of what a tooga is? What does it look like?
All I understand is that toogas like to measure, but have a strange way of communicating it: “These are things how to measure!”
If you can easily picture what’s going on here, I’d be very interested! Thank you!
On it!!!
Your "Tooga" has been created in friendly alien form right here: https://drawingsof.com/benefits-of-drawing/ . Thanks for your request!
Lillie, I’m introducing my grandkids to genealogy. They’re thrilled to learn about ancestors with ties to the founding fathers or inventors (their 7X great grandfather built the weathervane atop Mt Vernon). I’d love to see a lesson in how (or if) we can learn anything from our personal yet distant history. Thanks.
Ah, wonderful that you are diving into ancestors and history! So important! This isn't a field I have extensive experience in, but I'll think through if there's a way I can fulfill this request because it's an important one. Thank you for the suggestion and for taking the time to read and comment!
Horseshoe crab on a bicycle.
Ooo! I've never drawn a horseshoe crab before but I may be up to the challenge... Let me see what I can do and I'll contact you if your wish is granted! Thank you for your creativity -- it made me smile and sparked my imagination.
Your wish has been granted! https://drawingsof.com/cloud-hair-crab-bike/
