    Default sqiggle

    I ran across these the other day and thought this would make a good challenge.
    So using only one continuouis line draw something and incorporate this image into your design. For some examples see the url below.

    Yes, you seem to be the only one to try this. I think alex craggs had some good ideas but maybe I should have submitted a photo or clipart and given the challenge as drawing that particular image using only one line.
    At the time I thought of some freeform images in line joining my line then continuing to other freeform linr drawings. like alex craggs did. I know I should have done one myself but I got all involved in (and still am) in the kaleidoscope project.
    Real cute face you made using that line Gary.

    nice site Larry - AC seems to have a great grasp on a classic book illustration technique

    as I understand it, the core line in the illustration should never cross itself - which is a method of drawing the eye amongst other things

    if I get time I will do one

    thanks for posting

    You are 100% correct Steve, and in this regard my line is a poor one to have submitted for this since it does cross itself. When I get to my computer I'ii remake the line. Thank you for pointing that out.

    As Steve so correctly pointed out I realized there was a proglem so I remade the squiggle line not crossing litself and conforming better to the spirit of this challenge. So here is your corrected line.

    Well I thought I'd take some time from the kaleidoscope and do one. This is a single continuous line. It's not very good but it does fulfill my intension.Click image for larger version.

    That's a real cute little critter holding the sign Tom.

    As far as deleting attachments the best way is to contact either (Antony F-admin. or Mike Bailey-Super Moderator) and they can do it.
