Many Little Squiggles
​
​​One Little Squiggle has big potential, but...
What if the squiggle becomes something new?
What if it's longer, or shorter, or blue?
What if it's yellow or purple and brown?
What if it's sideways or upside down?
Does changing the squiggle change what you see
and spark your creativity?
​
When one little squiggle becomes something new,
imagine the doodle fun waiting for you!

​The character concepts are complete! Many Little Squiggles will feature two main characters: the girl from One Little Squiggle AND...her younger brother! Consequently, the first step in the illustration process was to determine what the younger brother would look like. Illustrator Polina Gortman delivered four character concepts for the boy (who is loosely based on my son, Nolan), and this is the one we selected for the book:
​
The interior sketches are nearly complete! Once the characters were finalized, Polina started on the sketches for the interior of the book. Over the last three months, she and I have been collaborating to create and refine those sketches. Here is a peek at the revised versions of the first few spreads:
Aren't they beautiful?! Polina has done an excellent job of bringing this new Squiggleville adventure to life, and I can't wait to see where she takes it from here! 🙌
​
What's next? Polina is currently finalizing the last few sketches and is scheduled to finish up in February. Now that the interior art is almost complete, she has also started working on the cover sketch. As for me, it's time to start reviewing and selecting public squiggle art for the book!
