Thousands of children have taken part in The Courier’s annual Draw Your Dad campaign.

And here are the first 800+ illustrations in our celebration of dads and the special relationship they have with their kids.

More than 3,900 schoolchildren produced colourful and candid likenesses of their dads – or other father figures in their lives – and wrote messages to tell them what they mean to them.

We are printing their pictures in special supplements running in The Courier every day this week until Friday.

To see all 800+ artworks in the Draw Your Dad 2022 part one supplement, published in print and epaper on Monday, click here (10MB PDF).

And to make sure you don’t miss your child’s drawing check our list of publication dates for each participating school below.

Ten-year-old Autumn Smith, of Montrose, gave her dad a superhero cape.
