0:00:05 > 0:00:08Time to get my ninja on. And my clothes!
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Being an Art Ninja can sometimes be really wild.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30OWLS HOOT
0:00:30 > 0:00:32It's 3am.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Only night workers and lunatics are up at this hour!
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Oh. Hi, Gav.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Hey, Ricky. I can't sleep and I feel weird.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46WOLF HOWLS
0:00:46 > 0:00:49You look a bit odd and your ears look funny.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51In fact, they look a bit furry.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Let me take a picture.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58He's gone. And he's gone weird.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01Weirder than usual.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08I've got a quick art tip here for how to draw a scared character.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11I'm going to start by drawing the head.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Then I'm going to add some eyes and a wide mouth.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Show the shock. Going to put some eyebrows in,
0:01:18 > 0:01:21angled towards the centre of the head, and I'm going to draw
0:01:21 > 0:01:23the hair all standing up on end.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26A couple of ears.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Now I'll draw the body.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32I'm going to do the hands next to up by his face, sort of like, "Ah!"
0:01:32 > 0:01:33a scream expression.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Draw his shorts now.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43And I'm going to do his knees a little bit bent, facing inwards
0:01:43 > 0:01:47like they're knocking together in fear.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50A couple of wavy lines
0:01:50 > 0:01:53as if he's shivering and, of course, what's he scared of?
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Well, I'm going to draw something for him to look at now.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01There we go.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04A quick art tip.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Don't be scared, have a go yourself.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15HE SCREAMS
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Gavin, what are you doing?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26I'm just knocking their door because I'm hungry.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- Hungry like a... - WOLF HOWLS
0:02:29 > 0:02:31A wolf?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I'm really craving a meat feast.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Great, now he's going to think I run some kind of late-night cafe.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48Either Gav's turned into a monster or he's got a monster appetite.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51I'm going to make something equally gnarly.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55It's the...Art Ninja monster foot pencil holder.
0:02:56 > 0:03:01So I'm going to start by taking an old gravy pot and a piece of card.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04I'm going to draw around in the shape of my monster's foot.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Nice, long monster toes.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15So cut that out.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21There we are.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25I'm going to stick this tube onto my foot with a bit of masking tape.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31That's not coming off. Now I'm going to make my monster toes nice and 3-D
0:03:31 > 0:03:34and I'm going to do that with a bit of newspaper.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Just rolling the newspaper into sausages with masking tape,
0:03:37 > 0:03:41stick it to the top of my cardboard cut-out.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44The masking tape works as a really nice base
0:03:44 > 0:03:46for sticking the scales onto.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51I've got the main bits of the toes on now.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53I'm going to start building it up.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56I want to give it a nice slope into the monster's leg because that will
0:03:56 > 0:03:58help me in later stages.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Here we go. Now it's ready to add some scales.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09For this, I'm using some old plastic spoons.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Carefully cut off most of the handle,
0:04:11 > 0:04:13but I want to leave about 2cm behind
0:04:13 > 0:04:17and then just snap off these little edges.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Now, we're going to need a lot more of those, but luckily I've been
0:04:20 > 0:04:22collecting for quite some time.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Now I'm going to stick these to my monster toes
0:04:25 > 0:04:28with the spoon side facing down and this little extra handle,
0:04:28 > 0:04:30that's what I'm going to use to stick it down.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Stick them with some sticky tape.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Now, I'm letting these overlap so they look more like
0:04:41 > 0:04:43authentic scales.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46It does take a little bit of time, though, so I've got a quicker way.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50Ninja skills.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Great. Now I can paint it.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Start with a nice rich blue colour.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I'm using acrylic paint and that's because it's really good at
0:04:59 > 0:05:00covering the spoons.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Last little bit at the back.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Now, I could wait for this to dry, but not me, I use my ninja skills.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13I'm going to add some highlights and a bit of texture to the scales
0:05:13 > 0:05:17to help define them. Slide in a bit of paper underneath the scales
0:05:17 > 0:05:19so you don't overlap onto the ones below.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Start with some light blue first.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Some white here, too. This is going to make the scales look all worn
0:05:27 > 0:05:29and very monstery-looking.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33That starts to really define the scales.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Now we're going to move on, do another row.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37I'm going to add a new piece of paper
0:05:37 > 0:05:40and I'm going to start blending again.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Let any other colours get onto the brush,
0:05:52 > 0:05:54it just helps blend them in a bit more.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Here we are.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Look at that beautiful effect.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Now we're going to do the rest ninja-style.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Look at that.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11But the toes won't be complete without some claws
0:06:11 > 0:06:16and I'm going to make them by recycling some old plastic forks.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17Just going to chop off three...
0:06:20 > 0:06:22..and now we're going to stick them together
0:06:22 > 0:06:24with a little bit of sticky tape.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28The outside one I'm going to put in the middle
0:06:28 > 0:06:31because it's a bit thicker and I'm going to put the other two
0:06:31 > 0:06:34next to it so the middle one protrudes.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35There we go, slide it in there.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Got a few more here and I'm going to slide them into place.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Right, time for the finishing touches.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48The things that I'm going to put inside my pencil pot.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50The monster foot pencil pot.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57You needn't make a monster foot out of recycled spoons like mine.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01You can try a colourful parrot's foot made out of recycled forks,
0:07:01 > 0:07:03or how about reusing some old plastic knives
0:07:03 > 0:07:05to make a fluffy elephant's foot?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Really let your imagination run wild.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14It's still late. It's not even early yet.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16I wish I could sleep.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Hey, you there!
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Scared of snakes? Love bubbles?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Then you'll love the bubble snake.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Here's how you make it.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Grab yourself a plastic bottle, remove the lid
0:07:38 > 0:07:40and cut off the bottom.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Maybe get an adult to help you.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46Get an old piece of flannel.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Place it over the bottom of the bottle
0:07:48 > 0:07:52and fasten with an elastic band.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Now decorate it with some googly eyes.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Cut out some hair from paper and stick it on.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06I've gone with a punk rock look. Eye-catching!
0:08:06 > 0:08:08But you can do any hairstyle you like.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13Take a bowl of water and add to it some washing-up liquid.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Stir with a spoon.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21You may want to do this bit outside because it can get messy.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Dunk in your bubble snake.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Now blow into the bottle, creating an awesome bubble snake.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43The bubble snake.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47You wouldn't want to HISS out.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Hilarious! Ha-ha!
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Really, very funny.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Now go to the website and get your ninja on.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Art Ninja!
