I had some trouble finishing the drawing of this squiggle. I wanted to show that she was yelling enthusiastically and needed some darkness in the interior of her mouth to show it was open. I was even given a lesson by Teri Partridge in how to draw the structure of the back of the throat, but that seemed to be too much detail for the drawing. I finally decided that I would fill her mouth with words. She is saying: “Hi! How are you doing? It’s good to see you.” I drew this when I was waiting to pick Loryn up at the airport so the wording seemed appropriate.

I used colored pencils and markers for this drawing in a complimentary sort of way.
