Illustrator and workshop presenter extraordinaire, Kelly Light, shared this exercise at the 2012 New England SCBWI conference. Sorry to say, I wasn't there. But, I found out about this fun little challenge that Kelly introduced in her workshop and had to give it a try. You can get the scoop about how this works straight from Kelly by clicking here. Fun stuff! Go for it!

Great characters, and a fun exercise! I've done this kind of thing in my sketchbooks in the past, this gives a reminder to do it again, thanks!
They are so Clever!!!
Thanks Rob and Sherry! Whatever you have done and/or are doing, Rob, keep it up - you have such spectacular results!
That's very kind of you Sherry! I loved seeing yours too.
Some of my After Hours Drawings are a bit like this, because they start in a somewhat similar way. Just a swipe of the pencil across the page with no idea where I'm going.
Hi Marion! I think my fav is the guy on top with the striped hat. These are so much fun!
Thank you, Elizabeth! This was fun. I found out, after the fact, that most people used the same shapes. That would have been interesting to compare. I just made up my own. Either way - good warm up and who knows? Might come up with something to run with - especially if it's done often enough, I'd think. Thanks again!
