How to Draw: Quil!

It is time to learn how to draw Quil! This drawing lesson will also be a bit challenging, but I am sure you can do it! Quil is a quilt. He lies under and on the bed. He has many colors. He becomes a monster when the lights go out. Kids think he is a blanket, but when they pull him up, they scream. He is a great tickler! A special thanks to Daryn G. of Texas for such a creative monster!

The last monster we drew, Zany, had a lot of curves and fur. This one does not have many curves and is not furry. However, the pattern on Quil will provide some fun and challenge.
