Morgan's ArtWorld February 2025

 

I chose this Panda family image for the February challenge.  Boy, did I have a difficult time with this one.  Everything from coloring to the to the photography had me using some not very nice words.  I am still not happy with my coloring, but sometimes you just have to say "that's the best I could do."  The image is available at Morgan's Journal and Scrapbook Art.  I colored the image with Copic markers and Luminance and Polychromos pencils.  I found the digital paper on Etsy.

Adorable Duo

 

This adorable image is by Julia Spiri.  I could not resist coloring her.  I used Copic markers for the coloring.  The paper is from Stampin' Up.  The sentiment is by Lili of the Valley.

Morgan's ArtWorld Challenge #84

 

This is my first post for Morgan's ArtWorld Design Team after joining for my third stint on the team.  For this challenge I used Cameo 7.  This one took me for a loop before I was finally satisfied.  I preferred the look of pencils on the face, but when I colored the hair with pencils I didn't like the way the hair looked.  So I tried using Copics.  I like the hair, but hated how I colored the skin.  I settled for a mixed bag.  I colored the skin with pencils and the hair, clothing and flower with Copics.  After coloring the hair with  Copics I added hair strands with pencil to make the hair look a little more realistic.  I think I will stick with this combo for future endeavors.  I need to get back into the swing of coloring portraits.  I'm getting old.  This stuff does not come easy anymore I'm beginning to realize.  Fortunately, my next choice for this challenge is animals.
