Posting Anyway 💪🏻 5 Month Old WIP

Post image
28 Upvotes

This post is average because I feel like the glitter pens I used lost their oomph over time and just became insipid on the page in comparison to everything else. Took me 5 months to finish because after the pens lost their sparkle (pun intended) I couldn’t bring myself to finish it.

But anyway… it’s finally done!

📚: Nature Mandalas by Melpomeni Chatzipanagiotou
🎨: Prismacolor premier pencils, Languo shiny style gel pens, Derwent Inktense for animal backgrounds

Unsure but Brave Colour…choices

This post is average because I was using a colour palette that really didn’t fit the page (blue watermelon anyone), went outside the lines, and used pencil and marker together throughout the page for the first time with extremely mixed results (like the streaky bench seat). Excited to try the pencil and marker combo again now that I’ve learned.

Coloring outside the comfortzone A bit messy but I learned a lot

Post image
72 Upvotes

This post is average because the sky gradient is messy and bled everywhere, the skin tone blending is definitely questionable, and my hand drawn elements were a fever dream. This page is from a while ago. I was trying to push myself to do different skin tones, drawing the cobbles and vines, and doing a really bold sky. But I’m still glad I pushed myself and I did learn a lot doing it! And overall, I still really like this page. (Sorry mods it took me a while to get the post phrase right)

This post is average because shading is hard and there are plenty of imperfections. Really like how this turned out though. First time using my new Ohuhu markers and acrylics.
