Today, Tracey and I are colouring Essentials by Ellen Arctic Pals from the January Release. With a lot of very cold days here in Toronto, I'm feeling a lot of sympathy for these guys!
I coloured the penguins very simply with copics and then tried for a translucent, iridescent effect on the glaciers in the background. I layered up a bunch of pastel copics and added Star Dust Stickles for some sparkle.
I used:
Hi Ardyth, such a cute penguin-trio! Love your icy background!
ReplyDeleteMay I ask you for something? Please check out pictures of real penguins!
Your coloring is great with soft edges and perfect blending, but the yellow spot is on the wrong place! I know, many cardmakers color them like you did, but these graceful animals deserve a correct color-management (they needn't a nappy!).
Please forgive me this critiismc, but I love penguins and always don't know why so many of us color them this way...
Hugs & kind regards from Wiebke (KomMa-designed)
Love these cheerful chaps Ardyth, and great icebergs behind them :-)
