''Using consummate V's''
''Trogdor 's "teeth, spinities, and angry eyebrows" are illustrated using consummate V's.''


There have been several mentions of '''consummate V's''' in the [[Homestar Runner universe]], usually with regard to drawing [[Trogdor]].
'''Consummate V's''' are a graphic element used by [[Strong Bad]] in his illustration of [[Trogdor]] in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[dragon]]. One of the more distinctive steps in the drawing instructions, the term (or even just the adjective "consummate") is frequently recalled when discussing Trogdor as well as on occasions where [[Strong Bad]] is demonstrating other illustrations.
 
The drawing tutorial in "dragon" is a pastiche of [[Ed Emberley]]'s drawing instruction books;[#endnote_1 [1]] Emberley's guides broke down complex objects like dragons into basic shapes like triangles or V's. Note that Trogdor's scales are not illustrated with consummate V's,[#endnote_2 [2]] rather, they are "regimented U's".[#endnote_3 [3]]

Trogdor 's "teeth, spinities, and angry eyebrows" are illustrated using consummate V's.

Consummate V's are a graphic element used by Strong Bad in his illustration of Trogdor in the Strong Bad Email dragon. One of the more distinctive steps in the drawing instructions, the term (or even just the adjective "consummate") is frequently recalled when discussing Trogdor as well as on occasions where Strong Bad is demonstrating other illustrations.

The drawing tutorial in "dragon" is a pastiche of Ed Emberley's drawing instruction books;[#endnote_1 [1]] Emberley's guides broke down complex objects like dragons into basic shapes like triangles or V's. Note that Trogdor's scales are not illustrated with consummate V's,[#endnote_2 [2]] rather, they are "regimented U's".[#endnote_3 [3]]
