Scribble Drawings Forever
Back in elementary school a wonderful teacher showed my class how to make scribbles into art. I can’t remember if the original demo involved a black marker or crayon, but what I do remember is watching that black line loop-d-loop all over the page and feeling so empowered as a little girl with with a box of crayons.
I was small but I could scribble.
Three decades later, the scribble drawing remains my all-time favorite thing to draw and color. You can read my column about how my kids have inspired me to keep on scribbling here.
Now I hope you’re inspired to get out your crayons and make a scribble drawing of your own. Scribble drawings forever!

TY for this, Jennifer. I do art class with my homeschooled grandkids, so I am always looking for good ideas and this is definitely one of them.

I used to do this all thd time! Mostly in some class, so I had only one pen or pencil on hand, and the spaces alternated between filled and blank. So funny you would post this now; I just showed this to my 5 yo son for the first time a couple weeks ago. He loves it!

Jennifer, look up Zentangles. They’ve basically “unvented” these scribbles into a meditative artform. They call the scribble a string.
