Coming up today - Iggy's back!

6:30:526:30:54

But she's not the only pup in the studio.

6:30:546:30:56

Ashleigh and Pudsey are here.

6:30:566:30:57

Plus, Sir Quentin Blake, the fabulous illustrator, answers your questions

6:30:576:31:01

and gives you some top tips.

6:31:016:31:02

And we're showing you how to make awesome artwork like this.

6:31:026:31:05

All on today's Blue Peter.

6:31:056:31:07

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

6:31:226:31:24

-Hello.

-Hello! How are you doing? You're watching Blue Peter.

6:31:246:31:28

I don't like my shirt, but they're making me wear it!

6:31:286:31:31

-Oh, Barney! Look who's back!

-This is Iggy. How cute is that?

6:31:316:31:34

She's having a nap. She's getting a lot bigger and quite heavy to hold.

6:31:346:31:38

As well as her growing this week,

6:31:386:31:40

Iggy has also been getting up to a bit of mischief, hasn't she?

6:31:406:31:43

She has. She came around and we did a puppy sleepover.

6:31:436:31:46

-She got into my house. You were there, Barney.

-I enjoyed myself.

6:31:466:31:48

And she did a great big wee on the floor.

6:31:486:31:51

That is her face just after she's done it.

6:31:516:31:53

Thing is, we don't mind because she's learning about new environments

6:31:536:31:57

and she gets excited sometimes.

6:31:576:31:58

Plus, I'd just weed there before she did, so she thought it was...

6:31:586:32:01

-I didn't really.

-She's being good now.

6:32:016:32:03

She is going to sleep. But we want to know,

6:32:036:32:05

what mischief have your pets been getting up to?

6:32:056:32:08

Get in touch via our Blue Peter website...

6:32:086:32:10

Let us know what your cheeky pets have been getting up to.

6:32:136:32:16

Send us a photo too - [email protected].

6:32:166:32:18

We'll try and show as many of them as we can later in the show.

6:32:186:32:21

-She's fallen asleep.

-When she wakes up. She's so cute, isn't she?

6:32:216:32:24

Another of our Blue Peter pets

6:32:246:32:26

is Shelley the tortoise.

6:32:266:32:28

If you're not into football,

6:32:286:32:29

the World Cup final consists of Argentina and Germany.

6:32:296:32:33

Take a look at who Shelley predicted to win it.

6:32:336:32:35

There was any country in the world Shelley could have predicted

6:32:356:32:38

at the start of the tournament, but she was confident -

6:32:386:32:40

-her leg goes on Germany.

-That's amazing, isn't it?

6:32:406:32:42

-It really is.

-She could be onto something.

-Absolutely.

6:32:426:32:45

50/50 chance. So, Shelley, fingers crossed for you, my friend.

6:32:456:32:48

Now, I'm going to walk very gently because Iggy is having a little nap.

6:32:486:32:51

But as you can tell, we are absolutely obsessed with Iggy.

6:32:516:32:54

If you go on to the website and click on Iggy's little face,

6:32:546:32:57

bbc.co.uk/bluepeter,

6:32:576:32:59

you can check out what she has been getting up to.

6:32:596:33:02

There's loads of videos and photos.

6:33:026:33:03

If you want to see more from Iggy,

6:33:036:33:05

why not find out how she has been getting on over the last few weeks?

6:33:056:33:09

So far, Iggy has only known the guide dog breeding centre

6:33:156:33:18

as her home, where she's been growing up and having fun

6:33:186:33:21

with a few little puppy tests.

6:33:216:33:22

But that is all about to change.

6:33:226:33:24

Today Iggy has left the centre to live in her brand-new home.

6:33:246:33:29

Just in there is the puppy-walking family that will take care of Iggy

6:33:296:33:33

as she takes on her guide dog training.

6:33:336:33:35

Here's Huey, Poppy,

6:33:376:33:39

mum Anna, dad David

6:33:396:33:40

and this is Bonnie, another guide dog who has been with the family

6:33:406:33:44

since she was a puppy.

6:33:446:33:45

She will leave soon to begin the next part of her training.

6:33:456:33:48

So what made you want to be a puppy-walking family?

6:33:486:33:50

A friend told us about the puppy-walking scheme.

6:33:506:33:53

We liked the idea of being able to see what it is like

6:33:536:33:56

to have a puppy for the 12 months.

6:33:566:33:58

What's Bonnie like with other dogs?

6:33:586:34:00

Do you think Iggy will fit in with the family?

6:34:006:34:02

Bonnie is really playful. She loves other puppies.

6:34:026:34:05

Hopefully Bonnie will show her the ropes and get her settled in quickly.

6:34:056:34:09

'Finally, after a very long journey, Iggy arrives at her new home.'

6:34:096:34:13

She's here. The puppy has arrived.

6:34:136:34:16

-Hi, Richard.

-All right.

6:34:166:34:19

She is so cute, isn't she?

6:34:196:34:21

-This is your new home.

-Hi!

6:34:216:34:23

'Richard is a puppy-training expert and will help Anna and the family

6:34:256:34:29

'through each part of Iggy's training.

6:34:296:34:31

'But first, it's time for a drink.'

6:34:316:34:32

Is that to give her energy?

6:34:326:34:34

Yeah, it's an energy drink for pups

6:34:346:34:37

to keep her going until her next meal.

6:34:376:34:39

'Fed and ready to explore her new home,

6:34:396:34:41

'Iggy needs to know where to sleep,

6:34:416:34:43

'so with a cardboard box and towels, Iggy's new room is ready.'

6:34:436:34:47

-Iggy!

-Iggy!

6:34:486:34:49

Good girl.

6:34:496:34:51

-Do you want to check out your new bedroom?

-What is in there?

6:34:516:34:54

Oh, yes. A big step.

6:34:546:34:56

-I think she likes her new room, doesn't she?

-I think she does.

6:34:566:34:59

'Not only does Iggy need to get used to her new surroundings, she also

6:34:596:35:03

'needs to get used to her new name.'

6:35:036:35:04

Iggy, Iggy!

6:35:046:35:07

Well done. You're very good at that.

6:35:076:35:10

'Now Iggy is settled, she needs to meet her new roommate, Bonnie.'

6:35:126:35:15

This is your big sister.

6:35:156:35:17

This must be quite an exciting day for Iggy.

6:35:176:35:20

She's moved house and she's meeting another big dog.

6:35:206:35:24

'Then it was time for Iggy to meet the rest of her new family.'

6:35:246:35:27

THEY SQUEAL

6:35:276:35:29

She's so cute!

6:35:306:35:31

She might be a bit cuter than Bonnie.

6:35:316:35:34

You can't say that!

6:35:346:35:36

Do you know what? This is Iggy's home for now.

6:35:376:35:40

I will be there every step of the way helping with her training,

6:35:406:35:43

-is that all right?

-Yeah.

6:35:436:35:45

High-five. Team Iggy. Boom!

6:35:456:35:47

'A week later, I go back to meet Anna

6:35:546:35:56

'to help her with the next stage of Iggy's training.'

6:35:566:35:58

What have we got in store today?

6:35:586:36:00

Today I thought it would be

6:36:006:36:02

really good to get her out and about,

6:36:026:36:04

to get her used to normal sights and things we see around town.

6:36:046:36:07

'First up is walking on a lead

6:36:076:36:09

'and seeing how Iggy responds to being in a new environment.'

6:36:096:36:12

-Which side do I put her on?

-You want to keep on the left-hand side.

6:36:126:36:16

We teach guide dogs to always walk on the left.

6:36:166:36:18

OK. Off you go, Igs.

6:36:186:36:20

Come on, Iggy.

6:36:206:36:22

-So what is next for Iggy?

-This is our first trip into town,

6:36:266:36:29

so there's lots of things for her to see.

6:36:296:36:31

Loads of distractions here, aren't there? Sounds, people, cars?

6:36:316:36:34

Yeah, but she's done so well this morning.

6:36:346:36:36

We thought we might try her in one of the local shops.

6:36:366:36:40

Come on, Igs, are you ready? Let's go shopping!

6:36:406:36:42

It's important for her to smell all the different smells.

6:36:476:36:50

cos obviously, her sense of smell is amazing.

6:36:506:36:53

This will be very new to her, won't it? There is food everywhere.

6:36:536:36:56

Absolutely. She has never done a shop. Exactly!

6:36:566:36:58

Anna, I have to say, I'm overwhelmed with how well she has done today.

6:37:076:37:11

She did a great job. She experienced so many new things.

6:37:116:37:14

She has been absolutely amazing.

6:37:146:37:16

Iggy, we are proud of you but you are looking tired.

6:37:166:37:19

Shall we get her home for a nap?

6:37:196:37:20

-Let's do that.

-Come on, nap time.

6:37:206:37:22

Apart from looking very cute, she has a job to do.

6:37:286:37:31

What have we planned today?

6:37:316:37:32

We will look at whistle feeding, which we have already introduced

6:37:326:37:35

and she is coming along nicely.

6:37:356:37:37

Richard, what is the purpose of this test?

6:37:376:37:39

The sound of the whistle, to her, means food,

6:37:396:37:42

so that when she is off the lead, they can blow the whistle,

6:37:426:37:45

Iggy will think "food" and hopefully come haring back to the owner.

6:37:456:37:49

'This is where I come in. I'm here to whistle-feed Iggy her lunch.'

6:37:496:37:53

Wait. Wait.

6:37:536:37:56

Wait.

6:37:566:37:58

WHISTLE BLOWS

6:37:586:37:59

Good girl.

6:37:596:38:01

'After passing the test with food,

6:38:016:38:03

'we head outside to see how she will get on in the garden.'

6:38:036:38:06

-Let's go.

-Good girl, this way.

6:38:066:38:08

So we're going to do a bit of practice in the garden

6:38:086:38:10

-for this test.

-We are.

6:38:106:38:11

We're going to test her recall response, how well she comes back.

6:38:116:38:14

When you blow the whistle, she comes running back to you

6:38:146:38:17

and she makes contact with your legs,

6:38:176:38:20

so when she does go to a service user, they will know she is there

6:38:206:38:23

-by making the contact if they can't see her at all.

-OK.

6:38:236:38:27

'With her challenge set, let's hope Iggy knows what to do.'

6:38:276:38:31

Right, Iggy, go and have a play, go on.

6:38:316:38:33

It's play time! Go free.

6:38:346:38:37

There you go.

6:38:376:38:39

She's too well behaved.

6:38:396:38:40

Or is she?

6:38:406:38:42

WHISTLE BLOWS

6:38:446:38:46

Well done, good girl.

6:38:486:38:51

-Richard, I think she has done pretty well there.

-Very well indeed. Yes.

6:38:516:38:55

Is it normal for her to do this well?

6:38:556:38:57

Generally they do well at this stage but she is particularly special.

6:38:576:39:00

She's working nicely for you at the minute.

6:39:006:39:03

Come on, you, stop re-turfing the grass.

6:39:036:39:06

I love watching those videos of Iggy. I feel so proud.

6:39:066:39:09

I'm like a proud mum.

6:39:096:39:11

It's dog mania in the studio today,

6:39:116:39:13

cos not only is Iggy here, we are joined by Ashleigh and Pudsey!

6:39:136:39:17

APPLAUSE

6:39:196:39:21

Good boy, come on, then.

6:39:226:39:24

-Hi.

-Hi.

-Thank you for coming on the show.

6:39:246:39:26

Who is that, Iggy? Say hello. Do you think they'll be friends?

6:39:266:39:29

-I think they'll be best friends.

-Iggy is trying to get on the couch.

6:39:296:39:32

You're not allowed to do that because of your training.

6:39:326:39:34

-You sit there.

-Pudsey setting a bad example there.

6:39:346:39:37

-Now, Pudsey is in his very own film.

-Yeah.

6:39:376:39:40

You trained him for the film. What was it like being on set?

6:39:406:39:43

Yeah, it was a little bit unusual

6:39:436:39:45

and different from anything we've done before.

6:39:456:39:47

There was a lot of hiding underneath tables and doors on set from me.

6:39:476:39:52

But Pudsey enjoyed it, he loved working.

6:39:526:39:54

He's a bit of a show-off so he loves the cameras.

6:39:546:39:56

I was going to say, it's quite different because

6:39:566:39:58

we've seen you on Who Let The Dogs Out? and Britain's Got Talent.

6:39:586:40:01

Normally, you perform with him.

6:40:016:40:03

-Yeah.

-But this was quite different, wasn't it?

6:40:036:40:05

Yeah. He had to learn a kind of sign language.

6:40:056:40:07

So if he was in the middle of a scene,

6:40:076:40:09

I couldn't shout out his command or anything like that,

6:40:096:40:12

so he had to look at me and I would tell him a command with my hand.

6:40:126:40:15

-That's amazing.

-Then he would do it, most of the time.

6:40:156:40:18

-Shows how clever he is.

-Yes.

6:40:186:40:20

Are there any secrets from set? Did anything go wrong or happen?

6:40:206:40:24

-There's one big secret.

-Yeah?

6:40:246:40:26

The cat in the film

6:40:266:40:27

was meant to play a big part all the way through the storyline.

6:40:276:40:30

-But unfortunately, the cat was very naughty...

-Oh, no!

6:40:306:40:34

..and kind of got fired.

6:40:346:40:36

-You fired the cat?

-Yeah, unfortunately.

6:40:366:40:38

And Lorraine Kelly, who does BBC Breakfast,

6:40:386:40:41

she accidentally got fired as well because of the cat.

6:40:416:40:44

-She was the voice.

-Oh, dear!

-So yeah, whoops. Sorry!

6:40:446:40:46

That's not good, you don't want that, do you?

6:40:466:40:49

Any top tips for anyone watching and thinking,

6:40:496:40:51

"I want to train my dog to be that good," what would you say to do?

6:40:516:40:55

My top tip would be, if you want to train your dog in anything,

6:40:556:40:59

like obedience or canine freestyle or agility,

6:40:596:41:01

try and join a local dog-training club, so there's teachers there

6:41:016:41:05

that can train you properly in the right way.

6:41:056:41:07

-It's all about being patient as well.

-Exactly.

6:41:076:41:10

Making sure you have fun as well.

6:41:106:41:11

That is important. How do you keep coming up with new tricks?

6:41:116:41:14

It seems there's nothing Pudsey can't do.

6:41:146:41:17

-I don't know about that.

-Super dog!

6:41:176:41:19

That's kind of me, where I have to step in and think,

6:41:196:41:23

"What can we do next?" Routines, tricks, because

6:41:236:41:26

people look up towards us and say, "I like that trick, I'll copy it."

6:41:266:41:30

-So yeah, it's finding new things.

-Very much teamwork, isn't it?

-Yes.

6:41:306:41:34

-You're the mastermind behind Ashleigh and Pudsey.

-Maybe!

6:41:346:41:37

Thank you so much for coming today.

6:41:376:41:39

-Thank you.

-I will let you get ready for your performance.

6:41:396:41:41

Iggy and I will take a seat

6:41:416:41:43

and see what Iggy makes of it.

6:41:436:41:44

Take it away, guys.

MUSIC: "Crazy Stupid Love" by Cheryl Cole

6:41:476:41:50

# Swore I would never be that girl holding your hand

6:41:566:41:59

# Look at you, gazing

6:41:596:42:01

# Acting like your biggest fan

6:42:016:42:03

# I used to make fun

6:42:036:42:05

# Of all the things that they said

6:42:056:42:08

# Saying I will never be like that

6:42:086:42:10

# But then you showed up

6:42:126:42:13

# Like you have been there before

6:42:136:42:15

# Was like you knew me

6:42:156:42:17

# Had me with every word

6:42:176:42:19

# You saw right through me

6:42:196:42:21

# Melted me down to the core

6:42:216:42:24

# I was done when you walked through that door

6:42:246:42:27

# Well, I don't know how you do it to me

6:42:286:42:31

# You make my brain just stop

6:42:316:42:33

# Sink my heart to my feet

6:42:336:42:35

# It's like a rollercoaster

6:42:356:42:38

# But I'm only going up

6:42:386:42:40

# I'm in crazy stupid love. #

6:42:426:42:43

-Oh, wow!

-Good boy!

6:42:506:42:52

APPLAUSE

6:42:526:42:54

Oh, my goodness.

6:42:546:42:55

BARNEY: That's amazing. Ashleigh and Pudsey, thank you,

6:42:556:42:58

not just for that performance,

6:42:586:42:59

but what Ashleigh managed to do with Radzi in ten minutes. Watch this.

6:42:596:43:02

Radzi, paw.

6:43:026:43:03

Good boy, Radzi, spin round.

6:43:036:43:05

Radzi, talk about the Badge Wall.

6:43:056:43:07

Thousands of you have been getting in touch with...

6:43:076:43:10

Thousands of you, sending your post to us each and every week.

6:43:106:43:13

Since the arrival of Iggy, you have not let us down.

6:43:136:43:16

Just look at how much Iggy post we have on the big Badge Wall.

6:43:166:43:19

Barney, do you have a favourite?

6:43:196:43:20

Yep. I have a badge, it's like a mask that Katie sent in.

6:43:206:43:23

-This is amazing.

-It's an Iggy mask.

6:43:236:43:25

Iggy, that looks like you!

6:43:256:43:26

-Barney?

-Yes, mate?

6:43:266:43:27

Put the mask on.

6:43:276:43:29

-Hey!

-Aren't you funny?

6:43:296:43:30

Thank you very much, Katie. It's brilliant.

6:43:306:43:32

Lindsey, is there one that stands out for you?

6:43:326:43:35

There is. This is from Megan from Altrincham.

6:43:356:43:37

She sent in an Iggy-titled book,

6:43:376:43:39

and if you look inside, there are so many details

6:43:396:43:41

-of all the guide dogs we've had.

-I'll do that. Sorry.

-Thanks.

6:43:416:43:44

You're being my model. Thank you.

6:43:446:43:46

Everyone from Honey to Iggy, the last 50 years of Guide Dogs UK.

6:43:466:43:50

Feast your eyes on this one.

6:43:506:43:52

It's from Cosmo, who is from Hampshire.

6:43:526:43:54

I love this almost as much as I love the name "Cosmo".

6:43:546:43:57

How cool is that name? Unbelievable. Thank you, Cosmo,

6:43:576:44:00

and thank you to everyone who made the big Badge Wall

6:44:006:44:03

or simply for sending in your post.

6:44:036:44:04

And if you want to get in touch with Blue Peter, you can do that

6:44:046:44:07

through our website, but also through our postal address,

6:44:076:44:10

which is on the screen right now,

6:44:106:44:11

and then you can get your hands, potentially, on one of these -

6:44:116:44:14

the Blue Peter badge.

6:44:146:44:16

You know this. There are all sorts of badges you can get your hands on.

6:44:166:44:19

-Let's talk about this one. This is about inspiration.

-My favourite!

6:44:196:44:22

It's the Sport Badge 2014.

6:44:226:44:25

And if you've got the Sport Badge of 2013, you can apply again

6:44:256:44:28

and get another Sport Badge. Who wouldn't want to?

6:44:286:44:30

-Radzi would!

-A 2013 and a 2014.

6:44:306:44:33

Now, if you have already introduced somebody to a sport,

6:44:336:44:36

why not introduce another friend to the same sport or take up

6:44:366:44:39

a different sport with your friend?

6:44:396:44:40

You could get yourselves one of these. If you feel creative,

6:44:406:44:43

like the people who sent all these amazing pieces of artwork,

6:44:436:44:46

why not get involved in the new Blue Peter design-a-poster competition.

6:44:466:44:49

The prize is amazing -

6:44:496:44:50

a chance for your artwork to be displayed at all the attractions

6:44:506:44:53

the badge can get you into in the UK.

6:44:536:44:55

You're going to need a bit of inspiration for this,

6:44:556:44:58

and there's one guy who I think will do just that.

6:44:586:45:00

-He's amazing. One of my heroes.

-Aw!

6:45:006:45:02

It's not Radzi, though.

6:45:026:45:03

It's Sir Quentin Blake.

6:45:036:45:05

It's not every day you get to meet the man behind the illustrations

6:45:146:45:17

of Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, Matilda and Mr Stink,

6:45:176:45:20

and he's no ordinary man. He's an incredible man

6:45:206:45:22

who wears a Blue Peter badge that's gold. That's how special he is.

6:45:226:45:25

He is the brilliant Sir Quentin Blake.

6:45:256:45:29

Quentin Blake is one of the world's most-loved illustrators.

6:45:296:45:32

He's illustrated over 300 books, including over 30 of his own,

6:45:326:45:35

and he is also one of the brains behind this gallery.

6:45:356:45:38

This is the House of Illustration,

6:45:386:45:40

the world's first gallery dedicated to the drawings

6:45:406:45:42

people like Sir Quentin, Raymond Briggs and Lauren Child draw

6:45:426:45:45

for books, novels, magazines and newspapers.

6:45:456:45:48

It's an exhibition of Quentin's work that's opening the gallery.

6:45:486:45:51

Quentin, it's so good to see you again.

6:45:526:45:54

Thank you for being on the show.

6:45:546:45:55

-It's a pleasure. Look.

-I know. I spotted it.

6:45:556:45:57

-I've had that for a long time.

-It's a very sparkly badge.

6:45:576:46:00

It is almost as sparkly as the gallery we are in today.

6:46:006:46:02

What made you want to do something like this?

6:46:026:46:04

Well, one thing about illustration, it's very accessible.

6:46:046:46:07

It's a language you can understand very quickly.

6:46:076:46:10

So to get the general public,

6:46:106:46:12

to get schools to come in and look at pictures...

6:46:126:46:15

Could you explain how you draw a picture?

6:46:156:46:17

There is one here, this is Clown,

6:46:176:46:19

and if I can show you this,

6:46:196:46:21

this shows some of the way that you set about it.

6:46:216:46:24

It's about a toy clown who takes on life.

6:46:266:46:29

-It's like storyboarding for a movie, isn't it?

-Exactly like that.

6:46:306:46:33

There are these little key moments.

6:46:336:46:36

This is where a sort of terrible skinhead gets hold of him

6:46:366:46:38

and throws him through the air.

6:46:386:46:40

And so, then I get into the finished pictures.

6:46:416:46:44

Here is the skinhead again, swinging him around.

6:46:446:46:47

The word I would use is "inspirational".

6:46:516:46:53

I know there are people watching who will want to draw like Quentin Blake.

6:46:536:46:56

I like doodling. I've always liked drawing

6:46:566:46:58

and I have something in the other room that I'd like to draw.

6:46:586:47:01

I thought while you are here, you could teach me to draw it

6:47:016:47:04

-a little better.

-I wonder.

-Is it OK?

-Shall we give it a go?

-Follow me.

6:47:046:47:07

So this is the picture I'm talking about.

6:47:096:47:11

It's Lindsey in the Blue Peter studio with our lovely new puppy Iggy.

6:47:116:47:14

I thought we could do an illustration of that.

6:47:146:47:16

We could try. I'll give it a go.

6:47:166:47:18

You don't use a normal pen either?

6:47:186:47:20

Sometimes I use quills.

6:47:206:47:23

It's interesting to me

6:47:236:47:24

because that's one of the oldest things you can draw with.

6:47:246:47:27

They've been using them for 500 years.

6:47:276:47:29

A difficult thing about dogs is to get the back legs right.

6:47:316:47:34

-OK.

-They do that.

6:47:346:47:35

Did you know what's really strange? I'm trying to draw it

6:47:386:47:41

like Quentin Blake. It's not working.

6:47:416:47:43

Have one of these.

6:47:436:47:44

It's a strange thing to work with because it comes and goes.

6:47:446:47:47

You just dip and scratch?

6:47:476:47:49

There is something quite satisfying about the sound it makes.

6:47:516:47:54

-Isn't there?

-Do you think that has helped your style over the years,

6:47:546:47:57

you have a definitive style because of how you draw?

6:47:576:47:59

I think so. Someone said to me, "It's like handwriting."

6:47:596:48:03

That's amazing.

6:48:066:48:07

It's a beautiful thing.

6:48:086:48:10

-That's me done.

-Very good.

6:48:106:48:13

I think Iggy looks OK...

6:48:136:48:14

Iggy is rather good, I think.

6:48:146:48:16

-I think you've got the eyebrows that I haven't got.

-Sure.

6:48:166:48:19

I think I've grilled you enough on what it takes to be a good artist,

6:48:196:48:22

and I'll leave that to you, because you do it so much better.

6:48:226:48:25

But I do have some viewers' questions,

6:48:256:48:27

-which I would love to ask you, if that's OK.

-Yeah, sure.

6:48:276:48:30

We'll do a quick-fire question round.

6:48:306:48:31

-Are you ready for this?

-Almost.

6:48:316:48:33

You're playing for a holiday in Spain. Good luck.

6:48:336:48:35

Cream Shiny Koala says, "Hello, just to mention that I love all your work,

6:48:356:48:40

"and what are your top tips

6:48:406:48:41

"for someone who wishes to become an artist?"

6:48:416:48:43

You have to draw a lot. That is the way you learn to do it.

6:48:436:48:47

Just do it. Don't worry about it looking beautiful. Just draw it.

6:48:476:48:51

Sepia Spinning Dude says,

6:48:516:48:53

"How do you get the ideas for your pictures?

6:48:536:48:55

"And are they based on real people?"

6:48:556:48:57

It's an interesting question because I say always,

6:48:576:49:00

"I make them up. They're not based on real people.

6:49:006:49:03

"I just imagine them and invent them."

6:49:036:49:05

Later on, sometimes people come and say,

6:49:056:49:08

"Oh, look, that looks like your friend so-and-so, doesn't it?"

6:49:086:49:11

Red Calm Toucan with a fantastic question.

6:49:116:49:13

"Is it true that you doodled in your school books at school

6:49:136:49:16

"instead of doing your work?"

6:49:166:49:18

Yes, partly true because I did draw in the backs of my exercise books.

6:49:186:49:22

But it wasn't instead of doing my work!

6:49:226:49:23

-Of course not!

-I did it as well.

6:49:236:49:25

Aqua Random Anteater - "Did you have to read the Roald Dahl books

6:49:256:49:28

"before you drew the pictures

6:49:286:49:30

"or did Roald Dahl just describe the characters to you?"

6:49:306:49:32

No. You have to read the book.

6:49:326:49:34

You read it all several times.

6:49:346:49:36

Then you do some drawings of what you think the people look like.

6:49:366:49:39

And it was after that, you then go and show them,

6:49:396:49:42

but that's the way to do it.

6:49:426:49:43

-Thank you very much.

-Great. Thank you.

6:49:436:49:46

I hoped you enjoyed watching that as much as I enjoyed being here.

6:49:466:49:49

I've just spent half a day with one of my heroes.

6:49:496:49:51

Hopefully it inspired you

6:49:516:49:52

to get out there and start creating your own masterpieces.

6:49:526:49:55

So what are you waiting for? Pick up your scratchy pen

6:49:556:49:57

and start drawing.

6:49:576:49:59

You never know, you could end up with a piece of artwork like that.

6:49:596:50:02

What do we think of that, everybody? Isn't it amazing?

6:50:026:50:04

Quentin Blake, what a legend.

6:50:046:50:06

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

6:50:066:50:07

We didn't see much of my artwork in that film.

6:50:076:50:10

Let's get a drum roll, please.

6:50:106:50:12

Here we go.

6:50:126:50:13

Yes! OK...

6:50:136:50:15

It's not the best, is it? But it's all about having a go,

6:50:156:50:18

so if you want to enter our poster competition, head online

6:50:186:50:21

for more details. If you think you might need a little more inspiration,

6:50:216:50:24

I asked Quentin what he thinks you should do.

6:50:246:50:27

I thought it might be a good time for you to give some top tips

6:50:276:50:30

on how to design a poster that's eye-catching. What would you do?

6:50:306:50:33

It's important to have one thing that's at the front, as it were,

6:50:336:50:37

and if you can find something that is unusual,

6:50:376:50:40

that people aren't expecting to see, then they think, "Oh, what's that?"

6:50:406:50:44

In the poster, you have to include the words "Blue Peter"

6:50:446:50:47

-and also the badge somewhere.

-Yes.

-Would you go large on those?

6:50:476:50:50

Would you put them in the background, like a hint to say what you're doing?

6:50:506:50:53

It might be interesting to draw a very unusual person

6:50:536:50:57

with the badge and the writing on them.

6:50:576:50:59

How about that? I'd try that anyway.

6:50:596:51:01

That's how good he is. The ideas just keep coming, it's great.

6:51:016:51:04

Thank you very much.

6:51:046:51:06

If you are thinking about entering

6:51:066:51:08

the Blue Peter Badge Attraction Poster Competition, you'll like this

6:51:086:51:11

because in the studio today, we have an art guru.

6:51:116:51:14

His parents know him as Amandeep Singh,

6:51:146:51:16

but we know him as Inkquisitive.

6:51:166:51:18

Yes!

6:51:186:51:19

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

6:51:196:51:22

Welcome to Blue Peter, my friend.

6:51:226:51:24

We are surrounded by your fantastic artwork. Tell us a bit about it.

6:51:246:51:28

Well, with the name as Inkquisitive,

6:51:286:51:30

my most common thing to use is Indian inks,

6:51:306:51:32

reason being, because they are bright, colourful and so attractive

6:51:326:51:35

and it brings out so much in artwork.

6:51:356:51:38

It is honestly so much fun to work with.

6:51:386:51:40

And even your turban and earrings are bright.

6:51:406:51:42

100%. Bright is beautiful.

6:51:426:51:44

You are also a judge on the poster competition panel.

6:51:446:51:47

What are you looking out for?

6:51:476:51:49

Firstly, it's a massive honour to be a judge.

6:51:496:51:52

I will be looking out for...

6:51:526:51:54

My favourite saying is "dare to be different".

6:51:546:51:56

Anything different, engaging,

6:51:566:51:58

anything that brings a sense of character

6:51:586:52:01

and unique is what counts for this kind of competition.

6:52:016:52:04

Those elements are what is important.

6:52:046:52:07

-You will give us a nugget of inspiration.

-100%.

6:52:076:52:09

In order to really feel that inspiration,

6:52:096:52:12

we will have four budding artists.

6:52:126:52:14

They go by the name of Matthew, Sam, Amelie and Esme.

6:52:146:52:17

Come, welcome. Welcome.

6:52:176:52:19

Come, gather. Now they're going to get on with art straightaway

6:52:196:52:22

because they are pros. I'll talk to you, Matthew,

6:52:226:52:24

because I know you all love art,

6:52:246:52:26

but what sort of things do you normally create?

6:52:266:52:28

Cartoon characters and comic strips.

6:52:286:52:30

And you're going to try and bring all that to your poster?

6:52:306:52:33

-Yes.

-Fantastic.

6:52:336:52:34

Amandeep, I haven't started, you haven't started.

6:52:346:52:37

How would you normally approach something like this?

6:52:376:52:39

Pretty much, really simple, to be honest.

6:52:396:52:41

My favourite thing is using tea bags,

6:52:416:52:43

as you can see, we have some here,

6:52:436:52:44

and getting a normal plain piece of paper.

6:52:446:52:47

I tend to dab, dab, dab, dab.

6:52:476:52:50

I do this because inks flow well with water,

6:52:506:52:53

so once you actually have a teabag-coated A4 piece of paper,

6:52:536:52:57

you will get something that looks like that once it has dried up.

6:52:576:53:00

-It's like a treasure map.

-Pretty much.

6:53:006:53:02

Once it's dried up you will have something that looks like this.

6:53:026:53:04

Now, this is the really fun part.

6:53:046:53:06

This is where you get the artwork at the back from.

6:53:066:53:09

It's the use of colour and blending techniques.

6:53:096:53:12

It's really important as well, if you are going to take this approach,

6:53:126:53:16

to use bright colours, like that.

6:53:166:53:19

-OK. You are just randomly doing that?

-Pretty much.

6:53:196:53:23

-There's no sort of order to this?

-Pretty much.

6:53:236:53:26

Just being a bit free in my artwork.

6:53:266:53:28

Any particular colours?

6:53:286:53:30

My favourite colours are pink and yellow because they blend very well.

6:53:306:53:33

And the reason being, when it is dried up

6:53:336:53:35

and you use that bright and dark contrast,

6:53:356:53:38

you have something that will end up looking like that.

6:53:386:53:41

OK! It's just transformed.

6:53:416:53:44

Pretty much, yeah, exactly.

6:53:446:53:46

And as you go on building colours,

6:53:466:53:48

one of my things is, I like to keep working with it.

6:53:486:53:51

So you can then elaborate that same piece

6:53:516:53:53

and get more colours from that.

6:53:536:53:55

-I love that.

-So for this competition

6:53:556:53:58

what I choose to do is, I made stencils.

6:53:586:54:01

Brainstorming the ideas I wanted to work with for the competition,

6:54:016:54:04

I then made some stencils.

6:54:046:54:05

For a poster competition, I would say

6:54:096:54:11

the focus has to be in the middle of the page

6:54:116:54:13

because that is where your eye is going to go straightaway.

6:54:136:54:16

That's a great tip there, centre of the page.

6:54:166:54:18

So using my stencil,

6:54:186:54:20

I would go like this.

6:54:206:54:23

And although you said in the centre, You haven't measured any...

6:54:236:54:26

MUSIC COMES IN BRIEFLY

6:54:266:54:27

We liked it so much we added music,

6:54:276:54:29

-that is how important the centre of the page is!

-Quality!

6:54:296:54:33

So yeah, adding a stencil,

6:54:336:54:34

and I think one of the fun things about art is,

6:54:346:54:37

and this is the best part of the body of the work,

6:54:376:54:39

once you have an idea and a brainstorm,

6:54:396:54:42

you keep working with those elements and you keep going on with it.

6:54:426:54:45

That is absolutely fantastic,

6:54:456:54:47

just with a pen, it lifts it straight off the page.

6:54:476:54:50

To get to that, are there any things that the Blue Peter viewers

6:54:506:54:53

who want to enter the competition should think about?

6:54:536:54:55

I think the most important thing is

6:54:556:54:57

making sure that you don't single out any one attraction,

6:54:576:54:59

making sure you kind of focus on various things.

6:54:596:55:02

Also, I know it's a given,

6:55:026:55:03

but make sure you have the words "Blue Peter"

6:55:036:55:05

or that element of Blue Peter in there.

6:55:056:55:07

And lastly, most importantly, make sure it's bright, creative, colourful

6:55:076:55:11

and a sense of your own character.

6:55:116:55:12

-It's all about being unique.

-100%.

-Which that definitely is.

6:55:126:55:15

Now, Matthew, I've immediately seen yours. What are you drawing?

6:55:156:55:18

A roller coaster.

6:55:186:55:20

A roller coaster?

6:55:206:55:21

With a car made out of bricks, with a fish, reading a book in.

6:55:216:55:26

Obviously, that is what you're doing! How about you, Amelie?

6:55:276:55:31

Well, I'm basically doing...

6:55:316:55:35

a man diving into the roller coaster park.

6:55:356:55:42

"Roller coaster" seems to be the theme of the day.

6:55:426:55:44

It doesn't have to be a roller coaster. You could have

6:55:446:55:47

anything on yours. But again, what's nice is how unique

6:55:476:55:49

each of them are with the colours and even where the colours go.

6:55:496:55:52

Yeah, I think that is what's important.

6:55:526:55:54

There is so much freedom with this competition.

6:55:546:55:56

Obviously keeping an eye on the rules given,

6:55:566:55:59

-there is so much you can do.

-I cannot wait to see this.

6:55:596:56:01

-You designed one earlier.

-I did.

6:56:016:56:04

This is worth the wait, without a shadow of a doubt.

6:56:046:56:07

Matthew, can I ask you to squeeze out of the way till we see this?

6:56:076:56:10

I know you are very busy doing your artwork.

6:56:106:56:12

OK. This deserves a huge round of applause. Take a look at that!

6:56:126:56:16

APPLAUSE

6:56:166:56:17

That really is fantastic.

6:56:206:56:21

-So bright, so vibrant.

-Thank you.

-Importantly, it's unique.

6:56:216:56:24

-And you're not wanting viewers just to replicate this?

-No, 100% not.

6:56:246:56:28

I think, like I said, this competition is all about yourself.

6:56:286:56:32

Bring a sense of your character into this piece.

6:56:326:56:34

There's so much you can use - watercolours, acrylics, paints,

6:56:346:56:37

collage work. Enjoy yourself, that is the most important thing,

6:56:376:56:41

and you will always have a winning design.

6:56:416:56:42

And Matthew, Amelie, Sam and Esme, they're all enjoying themselves.

6:56:426:56:46

-Thank you for coming in, and Ink, thank you.

-Thanks for having me.

6:56:466:56:49

It's so cool, isn't that? So now you have lots of tips

6:56:496:56:51

from Sir Quentin Blake and Inkquisitive.

6:56:516:56:53

We can't wait to see how you put those together

6:56:536:56:55

and create your own unique style, so good luck.

6:56:556:56:57

And remember, the deadline is Thursday 17th July.

6:56:576:56:59

That's next Thursday, so get it

6:56:596:57:01

in the diary and don't forget.

6:57:016:57:03

All the details are on the website.

6:57:036:57:07

If you do win,

6:57:076:57:08

you could earn yourselves one of these.

6:57:086:57:10

It's the Orange competition badge. Good luck.

6:57:106:57:13

That is a very rare badge,

6:57:136:57:14

so get involved and see if you can get one of those.

6:57:146:57:17

Earlier, we asked you to get in touch

6:57:176:57:18

and tell us about your mischievous pets.

6:57:186:57:20

We had Ashleigh and Pudsey in,

6:57:206:57:22

talking about pets getting in trouble on set.

6:57:226:57:24

Just to clarify, it was only the cat who got in trouble on that movie,

6:57:246:57:27

-which you all know lots about.

-She is fast asleep!

-Bless her.

6:57:276:57:29

-Snoozing away.

-We must be quite boring today.

6:57:296:57:31

-Peach Custard Buffalo...

-I love this, by the way.

6:57:316:57:34

"Hello. Last night we left our puppy downstairs

6:57:346:57:36

"and he ripped up my science book."

6:57:366:57:37

-What an excuse!

-The dog officially ate his homework!

6:57:376:57:40

-I love it.

-That's why we buy puppies.

6:57:406:57:42

Emerald Peachy Rhino says,

6:57:426:57:44

"My dog grabs socks and runs off with them."

6:57:446:57:46

Iggy has been known to do that with trainers as well.

6:57:466:57:49

Quartz Small Koala, I think this is about you, Barney,

6:57:496:57:51

"My neighbour's cat stole some sausages from a barbecue."

6:57:516:57:54

-It's possible.

-That's the sort of thing you would do, isn't it?

6:57:546:57:57

I like sausages.

6:57:576:57:58

Crystal Cheesy Master says, "My dog Theo eats my toys

6:57:586:58:01

-"and once ate a whole rubber glove and came out blue."

-What?

6:58:016:58:04

Last one. Cream Ecstatic Dog says, "My Yorkshire terrier Charlie

6:58:046:58:07

"pulled up the carpet while we were out buying treats for him."

6:58:076:58:10

-That's a nice treat for you when you get back.

-Cheeky pets out there.

6:58:106:58:13

Thank you for getting in touch. Here's what's happening next week.

6:58:136:58:16

They're called Rixton. They're going to be here in the studio.

6:58:166:58:19

They are huge in the USA and they will be even bigger here.

6:58:196:58:22

And you can see how Radzi and I got on as we go head to head

6:58:226:58:25

in a world-class rowing race.

6:58:256:58:27

-Can't wait.

-Lucy Cooke will join us

6:58:276:58:29

with her brand-new series of Talking To The Animals.

6:58:296:58:33

You don't want to miss that, I can't wait.

6:58:336:58:34

Before we go, I want to say a quick happy birthday to Tony on camera two.

6:58:346:58:38

-Happy birthday, Tony!

-Have a lovely week.

6:58:386:58:40

-Thanks to all our viewers.

-Wake up, Iggy. It's the end of the show.

6:58:406:58:42

-Wave goodbye.

-See you then.

-See you next week.

-Bye!
