Scribble drawing or sketching is a wonderfully freeing technique which will relax you and warm up your drawing muscles all at the same time. It is fast and surprisingly forgiving, so if you are a beginner and new to line and wash, it can be a fun exercise to do. In fact, it is rather addictive! Just to mix things up, I am using a glass dip pen in this tutorial. Don't worry if you don't have one. You can use a fine liner (Micron) pen, or a fountain pen or indeed, a ball point biro. As long as it makes a continuous line for more than a few cms or inches, it will be great for scribble drawing.
I start by giving you some tips - how to stop your scribbles becoming tight and repetitive, what to avoid (outlining) and how you can take things further by adding a wash of dilute ink to your scribble sketch.
I'll show you want to do if you get smudges or drops of ink on your work, so don't panic and jump on in.
The reference for this sketch came from Pixabay and I will put a copy on the community tab of this channel. If you enjoy this, I have also done an elephant in a similar style. You can find it here (released on 27 Nov 2022).
