Zentangle Butterfly
A little bit of fun and whimsy. I received a pack of prismacolor pencil crayons for Christmas
and decided to use them for the first time to play with color-shading this
butterfly. I’m quite pleased with how it
turned out.

The best lesson I learned from this piece is to color and
shade before you use the microns to do the inner designs. You can see the
smudging in the wing flaps where I tried to shade after putting the designs in.
You did a beautiful job of shading the orange. I didn`t know you could shade so well with coloured pencils! I should try it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kannik! I was lucky enough to get Eni Oken's shading book for xmas. It has great tutorials for shading with color. There's no marker in this one, I haven't quite worked that technique out properly yet.
