Hello,
Is this the cutest little bee or
what? When I was asked if I wanted to
play along with the Digital Delights by Louby Loo gang for this special event, I went directly over to their blog to take a peek at their
images.. I immediately fell in love with this one and their sea turtle (and a
million others – check out the little girls!).
The Bee was rather easy to color and I love the way it turned out.
A few tips to remember
·
Look at
each area of the image and determine where the closest part of that piece is to
the light source (easiest is front center) .
·
The area
that is closest to the light gets the lightest colors. (as in the center of his
body and face are lighter than the outer portion of those areas).
·
The area
that receives less light because it is further away gets the darker colors.
·
Also
remember to add a shadow or darker color on bottom layers. (as in the inside of
the pea pod, under his hand, etc)
The clouds were fun and easy to
do.
1.
Color your
sky with a very light blue as in IB1 or BT2
2.
Now use
your blender pen to color clouds.
3.
Let dry
4.
Repeat if
cloud is not white enough.
I thought I was done then decided to pay a bit with the clouds to experiment. I added a bit of HB1 to the edge of the clouds and then re-diluted the edge with the IB1 and blender.... Can't decide which I like best so I posted them both!
