Lynne: I wanted a blue-green and red-orange complementary pair for this squiggle. I used only colored pencil. I put a base of yellow on the complete figure. I added red to the shirt for orange and blue to the pants for green. Then I shaded with green and orange pencils.
I think everyone should do cartwheels, even if just in your imagination.

Come quick. It’s the aurora borealis.I used markers and colored pencils on this squiggle. The shading in the pants is not as smooth as I like, but the texture of the paper has that effect. Markers tend to fill in the valleys of the paper as in the shirt. Yet, I do like the glitter on her pants. Maybe it’s the reflection of the northern lights.

I started with markers on the shirt of this squiggle and finished with colored pencils. I think I like it better when I start with colored pencil and then marker. The pencil keeps the marker from bleeding through and the color spreads and blends better. The pants look more like the yellow green I wanted than the shirt looks like the red violet I wanted.
This squiggle boy sees the finish line and is determined to be the first to the tape. Maybe if his form was a little better?
