Initially drawn live on Instagram in April, each tutorial will be streamed on Nick's Twitch channel on Wednesdays or Thursdays now through June 10. Producers, storyboard artists and creators of hit shows such as "It's Pony" and "Spongebob SquarePants" are behind the streams. Each segment guides viewers on how to draw keys characters from Nick's programs. The Twitch streaming kicked off May 13 with "Big Nate" supervising producer Jim Mortensen.
Mortensen, who has worked on “Kung Fu Panda” and “The Fairly Odd Parents,” took viewers along to draw classic Nick characters. They include Jimmy Neutron from “The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius,” Angelica from “Rugrats” and Rocko from “Rocko’s Modern Life.”

While Nickelodeon is known for its animated series, it has live-action programming, too.
One such show, “Young Dylan,” is from Atlanta filmmaker Tyler Perry. The series debuted in February and stars child rapper Dylan Gilmer, who grew famous thanks in part to an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” performing as Young Dylan. Using his stage persona on the series, Young Dylan throws his aunt, uncle and cousins for a loop when he suddenly moves in with them on the show.
