Series: The Daily Marker Art Card #30 And finally, we reach the last of the art cards I coloured for the last Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge. Probably just in time for the next one to start. It's really satisfying ending up with a neat stack of finished artworks about the size of a… Continue reading Bunnies with heart
Series: The Daily Marker Art Card #29 There was so much bright colour in the last card that I just had to calm it down for this one. I wanted to go monochrome but I'd already done the raccoon in greys, so I went for a more sepia tone instead. And I love how it… Continue reading Sepia star
Series: The Daily Marker Art Card #28 I thought I had coloured this digi stamp before, but I must have been thinking of another Power Poppy bouquet with a butterfly... I had to go for a super tight crop on this one; I had printed it out larger than usual and there were at least… Continue reading Butterfly daydreams
Series: The Daily Marker Art Card #27 This digi stamp had been sitting in the pile waiting to be coloured for absolutely ages. I liked the image of the girl sitting on the pile of books with her kitty, but for some reason it never called out to be the next one coloured and even… Continue reading Story time
Series: The Daily Marker Art Card #26 I’ve reached that point in the Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge where the colour-picking bit of my brain is starting to struggle; I am trying hard to avoid falling back on standard colour choices, especially for critters. My first instinct for this was to do a ginger kitty,… Continue reading Horace & Boo
Series: The Daily Marker Art Card #25 I took one look at this, the next digi in the pile, and immediately decided that I needed some bright colours. The last few art cards have been quite dark and I wanted to liven things up a bit. It's a scarf around her neck, not a cape,… Continue reading SuperCoffeeGirl
Series: The Daily Marker Art Card #24 As with all Power Poppy digis, all you have to do to make them look good is to follow the shading hints on the images. Adding extra highlighting along the edges with coloured pencil really helped emphasise the shaping. The trickiest part of this art card was trying… Continue reading Chinese lanterns
Series: The Daily Marker Art Card #23 I've coloured this digi once before, but that time I used my Inktense pencils. I want to like this Copic version more than I do and the really annoying thing is that I'm not quite sure what's wrong with it. Up close, I like it, but from a… Continue reading Bunnies in grass
Series: The Daily Marker Art Card #22 Another Faery Ink digi and I thought that I would have a go at making this into a nighttime scene for a change — the last third of the colouring challenge really does make me think about ways to do things a little differently, which is good for… Continue reading Night fairy
Series: The Daily Marker Art Card #21 I do love Fluffy Gustav from Useless Trinkets, in all his variants. He is such fun to colour — as long as you enjoy colouring fur of course. I picked a yellow to purple gradient of colours, which ended up making him look like a little furry fireball… Continue reading Happy mail monster
