More about Sam I Am
Learning how to draw Sam I Am takes a little bit of planning as he has a look that is all his own. This step by step tutorial shows students how to begin with a really basic body shape, and then add all his details. His furry cat-like face and shirt with a jagged bottom are easier to draw when they are added to some shapes that are already in place.
If you haven’t read the book, Sam I Am is a short creature with no ears or tail who constantly asks the co-star of the book, Guy-Am-I, to try the green eggs and ham. He goes to great measures to try to convince him to try, and eventually succeeds.
