Leontine's Winter Challenge
-
There's also a method of comic book coloring where the black line is colored individually for the area it's trying to convey, but it's a lot of tweaking. I actually haven't done it in ages, but Will's Mixed Media class sort of covers it, separating your black line from the white of the page. It can be then colored, which he does in one example as white... it has a softer looking feel to it, but it's a little laborious to do. Some days you know, you just wanna doodle...

@Rich-Green Wow love your challenge piece, it's really charming and beautifully constructed using the paper-cut techniques and textures, the values work great too. I also like that it says something personal about you, which is a great thing for a Christmas card, and Annie looks so cute
-
@Dulcie Thank you so much Dulcie! Yes I really had a lot of fun creating this piece and I am just so thrilled that everyone can feel that coming through when they look at it. Everyone here has really made my day with all of your wonderfully supportive input on this one!

I used this challenge to practice a different style which is much more graphic. Really liked the panda bear I got after some exploration so I needed something for him to be a bit surprised to be looking at, pretty predictable scene but was great practice and fun!
-
@Stephanie-Hider I think this image looks good! Your bear is expressive. You have some nice texture work going on. Thanks for posting!!
-
@Rob-Smith Thanks! I like the bear and the tree but my daughter who is great at critiquing me said the penguins have to go
I will think of something and rework it eventually. -
These are my crazy dogs playing in the snow. It snowed in Illinois recently and they were so pumped after living the snow-free life in North Carolina for a couple years. It was fun working with just pink and blue.

@gimmehummus what a great moment to capture - love the energy and the anticipation of the pup catching the ball. Nice job!
-
@gimmehummus It is illustrations like this that make me want to give into my children's desire to have a dog! You captured their personalities perfectly! And great use of 2 colors. Impressive!
@Stephanie-Hider I love your penguins! Great "before action" scene! Nicely done.

@Kris-Knight Very cool! There is a story there. Thanks for posting in this thread.

@Rob-Smith No problem :). It was fun to try something I wouldn't have done on my own... and then doing it in a different style :). Glad the challenge was posted. Thanks!
