This squiggle is done entirely in colored pencil. I wanted a green and red compliment pair, but I also wanted some adjacent colors. So, I used a yellow and blue mix to make a yellow green for the shirt.
The squiggle looked like a working man to me with that hat. My grandfather wore a cap like that. My grandmother washed them and set them on glass jars to shape them while they dried.
We just had a steam engine go through town and I always jump for joy when I hear one. My squiggle, therefore is a train engineer who is in love with steam engines.
