The Big Draw is a series of events all over the UK every year where everyone can get stuck into some drawing - and loads of them are in museums and galleries - so why not look out for their events - which are usually free.
It runs throughout October every year.
Here are some great photos and drawing ideas from past Big Draws to inspire you as well as a page packed full with drawing games!

Here's a gallery of photos from The Big Draw 2005. Enjoy!
How about an event from another previous Big Draw.
That's not just a crowd of onlookers for breakdancer, Lloyd Thompson - they're drawing him. Looks like fun!
You can make art that's all yours...
Or you can work in a team...
...but there's always someone on hand to help out.
Bring your ideas to life - maybe as a 3D model!
You can use a pencil, felt tips, paints or charcoal ... pretty much anything that makes a mark.
It doesn't matter how young or old you are ... just have a go!
For more about drawing and why we love it so much, click here.We've got loads of arty games and activities on Show Me's Big Draw topic page for you to try right now.
You know we love seeing your drawings. So, if you'd like to send your pictures in to us we'll try and publish as many as we can.
