every animal here is busy with something. that's what makes them easy: draw what it's doing, and the animal mostly takes care of itself.
the straw goat who brought his own bucket. stiff straight legs and a bucket. he's prepared.
how to doodle any animal
one shape for the body. round for a pig, long for a lizard, tall for a goat.
one thing that says which animal. a trunk, a snout, a mane, ears. just one is enough.
give it a job. carrying, counting, checking the time. a busy animal is a cute one.
eyes shut are easier. a little curve looks happy and never looks wrong.
nine more to copy
the squirrel who packed too much. cheeks first, wider than the head. the rest is easy.
the pig who found the clover. one round body, a snout like a button, something in its mouth.
the elephant who trumpets confetti. a round body and a trunk going straight up. confetti is just dots.
gecko counting its chirps. seven lines. draw it upside down, it's funnier.
the lion who can't agree with itself. two ends going two ways. the face in front is confused.
the wet paint horse. six lines. a stiff leg out says careful.
the cow checking her watch. a big wristwatch on a hoof. she's waiting.
the lizard doing push-ups. a long body up on two arms, a sweatband, a smirk.
the mouse moving in for winter. a small mouse, a big walnut shell, a string between them.
draw one for someone
in wiggle together you draw in black pen, fold the doodle into a paper plane and throw it to a moon you share with one friend. they color it in, and every line keeps wiggling.
