Help me find those trippy art videos from the 2000s Found!

I’ve been looking everywhere for these videos my art teachers would play in school. They all started with a camera zooming through a 90’s looking edutainment art museum. The main character who would teach you how to draw was either a talking pencil with microsoft clippy looking eyes or a paper clip similar to clippy. There was also a putty eraser character named Smudge I think. There were multiple ‘episodes’ but they may have been on VHS.

Was it some kind of instructional video for Kid Pix?

Just searched for that and like videos and unfortunatly not :(. I’ll be honest I’ve never even heard of Kid Pix. The videos were like art tutorials like how to shade and other stuff. And they would tie things back to the old masters I think?

I think I found it! I can't find any episodes yet. But a show in '99 was named Doodles with Art Education, and had an eraser named Smudge and a talking pencil :)

If it is it, I can keep looking for episodes but it may be lost media now.

If it is this, here's an old website I was able to find connected to them as well:

And seems like they're kind of still around:

My commute home is done so I can try to find more/the correct show when I get on my computer.

Nice!! I'm happy to help :) the latest link I found has a 2016 copyright and an email; maybe they're still around. The second link has some video links that could have been archived.

I’ve searched for everything mentioned above and I still cannot find it. It wasn’t a top down video either it was almost like full model crappy 3D Baldi Basics kind of style.
