==Picture consequences== [[File:Exquisite Corpse (6042257203).jpg|thumb|upright|A four-person (four-sectioned) exquisite corpse drawing, 2011]] Later the game was adapted to [[drawing]] and [[collage]], in a version called '''picture consequences''', with portions of a person replacing the written sentence fragments of the original.<ref name="indep">{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art-and-architecture/great-works/cozens-alexander-a-blot-tigers-c177080-744402.html|title=Cozens, Alexander: ''A Blot: Tigers'' (c. 1770β80)|quote=about [[Alexander Cozens]]|access-date=24 September 2008|date=13 April 2007|last=Lubbock|first=Tom|work=[[The Independent]]|archive-url=https://archive.today/20080925051007/http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art-and-architecture/great-works/cozens-alexander-a-blot-tigers-c177080-744402.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2008-09-25}}</ref> The person is traditionally drawn in four steps: The head, the torso, the legs and the feet with the paper folded after each portion so that later participants cannot see earlier portions.<ref name="tattoo">{{cite web|last=Budden|first=Jo|title=Essential UK β Tattoos|url=http://www.britishcouncil.org/languageassistant-tattoos.htm#para1|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090114203229/http://www.britishcouncil.org/languageassistant-tattoos.htm#para1|archive-date=14 January 2009|access-date=24 September 2008|publisher=[[British Council]]}}</ref><ref name="rainy">{{cite web|date=1 June 2007|title=Rainy days survival guide|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/rainy-days-survival-guide-451282.html|access-date=24 September 2008|work=[[The Independent]]}}</ref> The finished product is similar to children's books in which the pages were cut into thirds, the top third pages showing the head of a person or animal, the middle third the torso, and the bottom third the legs, with children having the ability to "mix and match" by turning pages. Another variation of the exquisite corpse also called "picture consequences" is [[Telephone Pictionary]], a game in which players alternate writing descriptions and matching illustrations based on the previous step.<ref>{{cite book|title=The Giant Book of Word Games: The Bumper Book of Ingenious and Enjoyable Games for all Occasions|isbn=1-86309-172-6|first=Peter|last=Newby|pages=42β43|publisher=The Book Company|year=1995}}</ref>
