Thoughts

I think it looks pretty good.

Thanks for sharing; it's an interesting technique.

To approach scribbling as an art activity:

* It's excellent for flow, thus for loosening yourself before other types of art. In this regard it works much like gesture sketches.

* Like any other type of art, it can be broken down into individual strokes: small circles/spirals, longer ovals/spirals, very large arcs, back-and-forth straight or nearly straight lines, etc. So a way to improve the results is to practice the individual line types until fairly satisfied with them, then combine them to make pictures of things.

* Like many other types of sketching, scribbling can move very fast. This makes it great for capturing things that change quickly, like poses of animals or plants in nature.

* Think about things that resemble scribbling, like water moving or clouds or a pile of rubber bands. Scribbling is better at rendering some subjects than others, though it can be used for almost anything.
