After the events of the cell games Gohan would start to visit Dende on the lookout to hang out, and everytime he goes he'd take some kind of activity for them to do. Books to read, sketchbooks and pencils, coloring books and color pencils(or crayons, just to see what Dende would think), canvases and paint. And all of it would fascinate Dende and he'd be eager to use all of these things but he'd probably feel a little guilty cuz a lot of this stuff belongs to gohan/gohan spent who knows how much money on the new stuff. But Gohan reassures him that its really okay and he that he just wants to give his best friend cool stuff. So Dende tries to reassure himself and fully submerges himself in the items. It really gets his creative side out. He'd probably finish a coloring book in one day if we could, and he'd STILL wanna keep going. He'd practice drawing in ghe sketchbooks and would draw literally anything he can think of. The palm trees, the sky, the lookout, mr popo, he's even drawn Gohan before(though he will NEVER show him that.) And he'd also make his own drawings to color. He'd really enjoy the books Gohan brought too, i think he'd even draw scenes from it! Oh and painting would be so much fun for him He'd love to see the vibrant colors on white canvases, and would honestly just slap colors on there without any idea of what he wants to paint on them. You can imagine how messy that'd get though. But dw!! He's set aside a spare robe to wear anytime he's painting.
And yknow, maybe his artwork ain't the best, maybe they look like something a two year old made sometimes, but who cares. He's having the absolute time of his life when making art, and even so, he's still improving a lot. He's probably asked Gohan for books to help with drawing and ofc he'd get them for his bestie!! They'd probably be those kind that are like "how to draw anime" though but ykw, Dende appreciates them!!!! He loves art!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dende being an artsy kid just feels right to me guys.
