Stop! No one but squiggles are allowed in here.

Lynne: I used colored pencils for this squiggle. I was mainly interested in drawing her right hand with the palm outward. I tried to use my own hand as a reference for this pose, but the angle is just a little wrong. I had to find a model.

Blue and orange are the main complementary colors. I like to go simple on color when I am working on perspective.

The bigger they are the more everything flaps.

Lynne: I love it when my dogs start bouncing and their fur stands up. I am fascinated by the process of rendering objects in motion on a sheet of paper. The squiggles give me a chance to explore the motion before the actual form takes a more static shape.

I used colored pencils and blended a yellow, red and blue to get this particular shade of brown. It’s a brown I use a lot, because I like the yellow undertones. I emphasized the tongue with marker. There is nothing cuter than a dog with its tongue hanging out.

Squiggles have the rights to petition and to assemble.

Lynne: This squiggle was a lot of fun for me to do. I have been thinking about politics and this just seemed to pop up. Even squiggles believe in having something to say.

I used red-violet and yellow-green for the basic colors and had fun with a blue eye and orange shoes. I used markers as the base and colored pencils to add the shading.
