English term or phrase: chicken scratches
Some are too scared to put down a line for the fear that it might the wrong line,
but I would say, “No, do not be afraid of that. Just get your lines down there, and if they’re not right, you can go over them again and get the right lines. You can trace back over your drawings. You need to loosen up.” Big arm movements; big, free scribbles are good; not little ‘chicken scratches,’ as one of my lecturers used to call them. When you are drawing big arcs, move your arm from the elbow. You must also practice drawing circles and ellipses.

Explanation:

... expresie plastica, foarte comuna in limba romana -> scris / desenat cu picioarele ...
Sincer, de cate ori aud expresia, nu ma gandesc decat la mazgalelei si nu la vreo alta varianta plastica. Chicken scratches este o expresie uzuala, fara vreun impact deosebit ... my 2c ...

Asker: of. desigur că sensul e ăsta, mâzgăleli sau desene timide nesigure. Dar trebuie o expresie plastică, cum e în text. Mulțumesc

Asker: sună mai bine...da. treaba e că e vorba de design/desen. termenul și în engleză se referă la scris dezordonat...acum trebuie puțină flexibilitate. mie îmi place cum sună varianta asta

'Pentru mesele acestei sarbatori se fierbe numai porc. Porcul rama numai inainte si-ti vor merge lucrurile cu spor. Daca ai fierbe gaina, totul ti-ar merge pe dos, fiindca gaina rascaie cu picioarele, dand pamantul inapoi. 'E bine sa-i primesti pe cei care vin cu urari - Sorcova, Plugusorul, semanatorii.
