Make It Colourful Challenge....

Make It Colourful Challenge

Hi crafty peeps, thank you so much for your challenge entries last month you were awesome. This months challenge is also fantastic...

we would love you to create a project with water... anything so long as you are using a Make it Crafty Image... available Here

I have used the Underwater Mermaid scene

 

I have used ball point pens for the most of the colouring and various alcohol markers on the water with a mixture of mediums on the mermaids skin. I absoloutley loved creating the sand effect and the texture on the mermaid. The water  on my actual piece of work hasa little more sparkle to it , but this seems to have been lost in the scanning process.

I really hope you will be joining in with this months challenge, I look forward to seeing your work.

Big Hugs

Snowy Fairytale Bridge....

Hi guys how are you?.... Well I'm slowly getting back into the colouring now , and trying to prepare for Christmas and all the  school activities which are coming up, but I love it. I have wanted to have a change of media so I just used a regular 4B pencil and made the Fairytale bridge into a snowy scene... I also added a few of the Large Pine Tree's.... 

It can be quite difficult to colour white as it's more the shadows you have to work out... but it was fun , and if my family get there way and I have to tidy the Dining room table ( where I work) there might be more sketch style images coming up..........  but I think I might try and sneak a few things out... Sssshhhh!

Well thank you again for stopping by

Countdown to Christmas....

Hi everyone.... wow it'a ages since I have posted, I back now...( I think) I have had a few pc issues to sort out recently so it's taken me a while to get back and I am sooooo far behind with stuff. So what have I got today.... Countdown to Christmas this is one of the steampunk santa's over in the Mic Store

This fits in with the new colouring challenge we have on the challenge blog of Christmas colours.

I have used ball point pen for Santa the sack and the chimney , prisma pencils for the faskin and chalk pastels for the background...

the colours are a little deeper  IRL the scanner seems to have washed  them out a bit... it's more of a midnight sky... :o)

well I hope I will be back again real soon with something else.... Happy colouring.

Hugs

Gizzly Bear - Make it Crafty

Hi there everyone...I  am just loving this Grr -izzly bear  from Zoe's store... I have been wanting to colour him for ages...

He can be found in the Halloween section of Make it Crafty

I have used ball point pens again.... these are becoming my favourite  media to use at the moment... but I still need loads of practice...

I only used three colours to create him, yellow, mid brown and black, using short flicks as though you were creating grass... just slowly building up the layers...

we don't really do that much for Halloween really at our house but I do just love to colour the images to create different effects and use a different colour pallette.....

Well I have loads more to colour, so it's back to the blanket fort and I will be back sooooooon

Thank you for visiting

Hugs xx
