Harptooniacs
Where Every Drawing Tells a Story
Steve Harpster has illustrated over 200 children's books and visited over 500 elementary schools where he preforms live drawing presentations. The students love to share their drawing and stories about their characters and this sparked an idea in Harpster. An art site where kids learn how-to-draw characters with fun animated videos. Story Prompt worksheets and Comic Book worksheets to encourage writing and story creation. Suddenly, Harptooniacs was born! The goal of Harptooniacs is to get both kids and adults drawing, creating, and imagining.

Harptooniacs was a great find! My youngest son, Jack, has never enjoyed writing but LOVES to draw. Now he is engaged in story writing and making comics.
