Pros Christmas Colouring Fest

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

What a fun game for today's Discovered in the Wassail Bowl! tinturtle invited us to post our coloured-in pictures here to the comm, so that's what I'm doing. I wasn't clever enough to work out digital colouring, so mine is coloured in with pencils, and a couple of other bits and bobs. Unlike Doyle, I'm not sure I should have been artistic, but it was fun - thank you! *g*

Very nice! I think doing it by hand turns out much nicer than the digital route — at least with the software I have :-)

Thank you! It was nice using pencils actually, and giving my eyes a rest from the screen. But I like what you did with your digital colouring too! *g*

Phew. I was worried nobody else was going to make a post. :)

I like your hand colored picture, especially some of the textures, like the foliage of the tree. I value the handmade quality it gives a picture when I color it by hand. I hoped to do mine that way, but you know, life.

Looks like you also used paint for the lower part of Bodie’s hat? Where else did you use another medium?

I must admit I went back and double-checked your instructions when I saw that people had posted pics in comment to your own colouring-in! 😆 But it definitely said make a post, and that's the whole point of the calendar — at least one post a day, so this was a brilliant way of doing it. *g*

And thank you! It was nice to colour by hand, I have to say - looking down at paper and colours instead of at a screen all the time. But yeah, it takes time, even doing it fairly simply. We have free-posting days on Christmas and New Year, if you find some more time to hand-colour, you could always post your lads on those days?

There's some green biro in the Christmas tree, and actually some sparkly-copper pen in Doyle's hair, though it didn't come out in the image. Bits of gold pen dotted around... oh, and Bodie's hat is white correction fluid!! I like how it makes it a bit 3d!

I just noticed that in your picture, you can see Doyle's fingers a bit through the glass. That's very nice.

I like the idea of doing a hand coloring to post on one of the free days. I'll probably do that.

Correction fluid is paint, I guess. *g*

I'm so happy someone spotted his finger! *vbg*

And hee - good point about correction fluid!
