Please correct me if I am wrong.

Well, I'm very confused Larry.
If you say that mine is not permitted because 'neither is the entire scribble', whatever that means?

Then please explain why Egg's Boat is allowed?
Because Egg's drawing not the entire scribble either, then.

(And I'm only using Egg's drawing as an example, not criticism. Because I think it's pretty clever.)

Yes you are right, if what I I saw was indeed the scribble, which I am not sure of then Egg broke the rule too.
Ir has always been my understanding that the scribble line must be used as submitted with the possibly exception of line weight which we voted on and is allowed. It can be added to, turned into a brush, most anything except changing the line itself as given. Isn't that the spirit of the scribble challenge? So if the white area on Egg"s boat was not made from the scribble line as provided, then yes, Egg altered the line and broke the rule by changing the angle of one leg. I noticed that too and wondered if I was not finding the line.
I would like to hear from everyone if we are in agreement on the rules. Am I right or wrong in my understanding. It's such a simple challenge, but the only rule is and has always been not altering the shape of the line submitted.

Sorry everyone we need to know what to expect. Some times I may have missed something and will try harder from here on.

I'm confused too Larry. My drawing uses the line in it's entirety such that the line (green) is added to in red to make a white shape, the hull Black is drawn above it as is the dark red Boot-Topping.

Well, that makes two of us. Egg.

I have the line in my drawing. You have the line in your drawing.
So, what is it that's wrong?

I've not changed the line. I've added to it, as you've added to it.
Without adding more to the line, I'm not sure how we're supposed to make anything?!

And, how come all of my drawings in 2017 have been OK?

Thank you, Larry! I've been playing with the art brushes lately, so tried this. All the scribble, some turned into brushes with some width and profile changes.

As far as I can tell, it looks good Penny, thank you.

My problem is not that you did not use the entire line but it looks like you broke the line and used half in one place and the other half in another spot. Maybe that's what you did and maybe it isn't, only you know for sure. As to the second part I have no answer. It is not easy to spot the line sometimes, and also because I trust you.
At any rate rest assured I will be trying harder from now on. Not that that's any consolation.
