Daily Squiggle

Squiggle Jester
It's a job making squiggles laugh.

This drawing is the combination of markers and colored pencils. The yellow stands out more if both colored pencil and marker are used. The jester is a complimentary pair of violet and yellow.

Pratfalls make the best jester comedy and this jester is swinging over the top of the page. Just like we did when we were children trying to make our swings go over the top bar. Probably with the same results.

Daily Squiggle

Squiggle GreetingThe squiggle greeter.

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.
