Animate your "Scribbles"


I'm so crazy for the work of Dain Fagerholm. There are many, many animated gifs online, and I think his hand-drawn look is really exciting to look at. Today I want you to take one of your characters and practice "scribble-shading" with a ballpoint pen. Please fill a full sheet of paper. Do not work on the background yet.

1.  Sketch out your character on a full sheet of paper with a pencil
2.  Start "scribbling" on your design.  The more scribbles in one area the darker it will be, the few scribbles the lighter it'll be.  Duh, huh?
