Top O’ the Mornin’ to Ya!



Drawing: leprechaun hat with shamrock

 

Just screwing around with my prismacolor pencils, messing with shading.  It was St. Patrick’s Day weekend so this just kinda happened.  Nothing too exciting, it didn’t turn out as I’d hoped it would, so it was really just of my good card stock.  I can’t even say I learned very much from it, sadly.

Okay so this one didn’t exactly turn out how I was hoping it would.  I find it looks sloppy, despite much effort against that outcome.  I probably should have avoided the green marker lines all together. Woopsies! Live and learn I suppose.

I’m wishing I hadn’t used those crappy watercolors on so many tiles at once – but I knew they needed to sit for a day so wanted to be ahead of the game and paid the price for my impatience.

 At least it’s festive! Happy St. Patty’s Day!

Another double the challenge/double the fun.  Eni Oken’s challenge from her shading facebook page for watercolored backgroung and the Diva’s challenge for a St. Patrick’s Day theme.

The most valuable lesson I learned from this one is not to use cheap watercolors.  I have some very nice watercolor pencils, and apparently some very crappy ones.  You can see the difference… the lighter green actually looks like watercolor, whereas the darker green (the cheapies) just look like pencil crayons, or maybe even waxed crayons.
