Sand Drawings

Lilah and I were so inspired by these incredible sand drawings that we saw on Bored Panda:

Beach art by Jamie Hawkins
Be sure to click the picture or this LINK to see the rest of the article and photos. This beach art is like the 3-D illusion sidewalk paintings, but created only with lines in the sand. Pretty amazing?!

Of course, we were so excited, we headed right down to the beach to get artsy!


I like the way Lilah fit her boat into the triangle shaped nook of sand.

Then it was time to make Lilah Beans! Here's a step by step:

A nice big, round body and little flippers for hands and feet...


Draw in the helmet-hair...
 

I used my feet to draw some wide stripes...
 

Lilah used her drawing rock...
 

She drew in a smiling face and scooped out the cheeks...


And there you have it! Lilah Bean Beach Art!


We were going to make more Lilah Beans, but the tide was already coming up over this one's toes.

-Sandy and Lilah B.

Ok, this is too fun. Those guys are super talented! To get the shadow and perspective right? WOW! I love drawing in the sand. I am glad you two had a blast! We did the same thing last time we went to the beach. Cali did tangles, I did a sailboat, and our last name. Took pictures too. Check out my instagram from the end of October of last year to see them!
