Every Day, I Draw One Animal Letter A Day To Teach My Son The Alphabet

After having a baby in the summer of 2014 I decided that it was time I brake free of my boring web design career and started drawing. I began with the letter ‘A’ and drew an Armadillo and with one animal drawing per day I made my way through all alphabet letters.

I wanted to create something new for my son, something that he could someday look at and be proud of his dad. I was so sick of looking at terribly illustrated baby books that decided it was time to create my own cool drawings that I could compile into an animal alphabet book.

In order to accomplish my goal of one drawing idea per day, I challenged my friend and fellow illustrator to post our latest animal letter drawings on Instagram every day before midnight with #SketchAZduel. What ensued turned out far better than expected.
