I like drawing elephants. Their trunk and ears define them so well that just a few lines can bring an elephant to life. I used a yellow marker for the base of the squiggle then I used colored pencils to add the details and the shading. The browns are layers of yellow, blue and red.
I have never believed that elephants are afraid of mice, but this elephant has seen something under her feet that she wishes were elsewhere.

Lynne: I have been experimenting with my markers this past month. This squiggle is done with several layers of marker and colored pencil. I have found that on this paper I can only use two layers of marker and two layers of pencil before the paper stops accepting any more color. I just end up pushing the bottom layers from side to side with any additional layers. I like this notebook, but I am beginning to experiment with different papers.
This squiggle girl is running to or from something. Maybe it’s a representation of how fast Christmas is coming and how I would like time to slow down a little.
