This is the last in a series of pen & ink gradation techniques based on a scribble derived from your handwriting. My students complete lines of their own signatures and then transform this handwriting to a scribble. What I find so remarkable about this technique is the personal and intimate nature of this process. Each drawing is attached to the personality of the artist. By now you have probably figured out that stippling is not my favorite. Both hatching and scribble give me greater freedom. I am committed, however to working with looser approaches to stippling.
