Squirkling
What do you get when you cross squiggles and scribbles with circles? You get squirkles! I coined this fun word to describe this enjoyable shading technique. Many of my students from the past two decades are very familiar with squirkling squirkles!
The next illustration provides a peek into the versatility of squirkling. When squirkle sets have noticeable spaces between the lines, they work beautifully for shading various textures, such as fuzzy fabrics and curly hair. Squirkles can look like a solid tone when the lines are drawn closely together, and are great for shading lots of different aspects of people, including skin tones.
