Comedian Harry Hill is inviting the nation to draw something inspired by the theme of 'A Typical Sunday Morning.'

Mr Hill is the next artist to present a theme for DRAW!, the nationwide drawing project presented by Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture.

Each month, DRAW! invites people of all ages to create and share drawings based on a theme set by a different artist.

Mr Hill's own playful illustration of 'A Typical Sunday Morning' sees him seemingly being chased by his cat.

A draw-along video has also been shared.

Mr Hill said: "We’re on a mission to get everyone picking up pencils, crayons, felt-tip pens - anything - and to give drawing a go!

"It doesn’t matter what you draw, or how good you are at it, as long as you do draw.

"In fact, the worse you are, the more fun it is!

"We want to remind everyone that art isn’t just for art galleries— it’s for anyone with a scrap of paper and a bit of imagination."

Meanwhile, Go Get Arty, a new CBBC programme produced by Ranga Bee Productions, is being released this month.

The show features an animated paintbrush named Bristles, voiced by Mr Hill, as well as real-life arty family the Kwapongs.

Bradford 2025 is hosting drawing workshops throughout the year for both adults and children.

The workshops feature a range of artists, including illustrators, cartoonists, animators, and graphic designers.

Past contributors to the project include David Hockney, Adébayo Bolaji, Jason Wilsher-Mills, Rose Blake, and Dame Zandra Rhodes.

DRAW! is part of a broader collaboration between Bradford 2025 and the BBC, which has commissioned new content across arts, education, and factual for the city's special year.

Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture is delivered by Bradford Culture Company, a charity supported by HM Government, Bradford Metropolitan District Council, and West Yorkshire Combined Authority, as well as by National Lottery funding from Arts Council England, The National Lottery Heritage Fund, The National Lottery Community Fund, Spirit of 2012, the British Film Institute, and others.

People can share their drawings of 'A Typical Sunday Morning' at bradford2025.co.uk/mydrawing or on social media using #bradford2025 or by tagging @bradford_2025.

Selected entries will be featured on the Bradford 2025 website each month, and included in a final exhibition in December.

Go Get Arty will be released in June 2025 on CBBC and BBC iPlayer.
