I started colouring the darkest areas in Cobalt Blue ProMarker.....
Then extended that colour using China Blue, going over the parts already coloured as well....
Then filled in the rest using Pastel blue. I used tan and caramel for the rest of the clothes, coral and sunkissed pink for the face, and caramel and umber for the hair.
Some liquid pearls for mistletoe berries, and a bit of glitter on the snow, and he is ready to go - drop by tomorrow to see the finished card....
I am back home from the Lakes. We had an exhausting day on Saturday when the three of us went into a sort of retail frenzy - here I am, taking a breather surrounded by just some of the shopping bags we were carting around, we could have done with a couple of pack horses to help us.....
Now on to the winner of the Bonbon Belles Cd from Polkadoodles, I used random.org and the winner is
POPPYLUVA

Oh My! If anyone didn't know what a "retail frenzy" was, one look at that pic would explain it all. You must have found oodles of treasures, because your arsonal of shopping bags is larger than you are Enfys. It's no wonder you stopped for a breather ... even with help, I don't know how you managed to cart so many bags at one time. I can just picture you, browsing through shop after shop ... all the while, carting around a collections of bags that continue accumulate in size and number. I'm sorry to hear that your day ended on a bit of a bad note - catching a bug or virus is never fun ... and even worse when you are away from home. Hope you are feeling better now.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to POPPYLUVA. I know she will adore her new Polkadoodles Bonbon Belles CD!
BTW, thanx for the brief coloring tutorial ... you do such lovely work, and I loved seeing it in progress.
Thank you for the coloring lesson. I need the help. I just know the card will be fabulous as always.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you were ill on your getaway, what a bummer. Shopping is good for the soul; it only makes the bank account a little ill.
Smiles,

I love how easy you make it look to color images. I just wish mine came out as nice as yours. Practice, Practice, Practice I guess. Sorry you weren't feeling well after your shopping spree. Glad you got the shopping done first. Hope you are doing better now.
