This was an exercise to make a squiggle look like the style of a famous painter. You add eyes; turn it and add paws; turn it and add the tail and so on. It was interesting to see that putting the elements of the dog in different planes really made the squiggle look similar to Picasso’s work.
This squiggle is a marker base with colored pencil shading.

With blue hair and practical shoes, this squiggle woman knows that she has found her middle age and perhaps is looking at the beginnings of her senior years.
I used markers for the base of this squiggle and then used colored pencils to add the shading.

All of these dogs are done with colored pencils. I was playing with complementary colors and blending for brown.
I think the dog in the green military helmet is the leader of the pack.
A drawing that is all color pencil. The steps are not part of the original scribble. I added them, because she looked like she wanted to climb something.
I do love this baby. My daughter used to climb the stairs up and down, over and over. I sat on the stairs with her marveling at the concentration she put into it.
I wanted this woman to be dressed in blue, so I used a split complementary color scheme of blue, red orange and yellow orange. She is not one of my favorites, but I do like the scarf in the breeze. Maybe she is running down that hill.

Most of this drawing is marker, but the parachute is shaded in green color pencil. the color scheme is complementary with the red and green, but I used red, green and yellow to make the different browns.
I believe he is going to drop a bag of sand to mark his landing spot. The green parachute makes him a little bit of a dandy.

This drawing was an experiment in split complementary colors…yellow green, violet and red. I am sure that the color scheme is what makes this animal jump so high.

I love this little chick that could. A drawing done entirely in markers. I love the cock of his head.

Another early squiggle done entirely in markers. I wanted to show the effort it required to jump in the air. I made my DH pose for the placement of the hands.

The lizard squiggle is done entirely in marker. (Bic markers) He’s a little fanciful, but then that’s what happens when you see things climbing your walls.
