Calling all scribblers!

This site -> http://wwww.zefrank.com/scribbler/ allows a bit of scribbling on your sketches and doodles. Here's how it works...draw something, like a face, and when you are done, hit 'done drawing'. This will bring up another box, select 'start scribbling'. This will enable the scribbler tool to continuously loop around your drawing, adding the value where the lines are closest together. When you feel that your drawing has enough scribbling, hit 'pause scribbling'. Now you can right click your drawing to print it. Bring it into class by the end of the week for a group exhibition.

To make sure you receive credit, please write your name lightly in pencil on the back.
