I wanted to do another Peep drawing in my Moleskine. This time a single peep that I spent more time on. It’s pencil, colored pencil, and white pastel. It’s hard to get different values when the peep itself, even w/ shadows, isn’t really very varied. I’m also going to share some fun PEEP LINKS below.

What is a Peep? Basically extruded marshmallow in the vague shape of a chick, covered in colored sugar. There are other shapes (like bunnies) and many colors.

Here are some of my favorite pictures taken by other people of peeps… some artistic, some funny:

It’s fun to go to flickr.com and look at all photos tagged "peeps": flickr.com/photos/tags/peeps
A couple years ago, we decided it’d be fun to grill a Peep. Here are photos from that day/experiment. You can start at the first photo and see the progression of the Peep sample.

Hi Lauren - Thanks for introducing me to peeps, now I won’t die stupid (as they say here). Your sketches of them are adorable.

I had a look at these peeps, they fascinated me and I can now understand the craze…how can you eat them(although I am craving for them after seeing them!)…your drawing looks like they could be pets?! My husband goes to SC, US, often..will he find them there? I have to see these in real life..hie hie.

my daughter is a peep-fiend, so we have varied colors of peeps all thru the spring around here for her to munch on. two years ago, though, i think she ate herself sick on them — so she takes it a lot slower now!
