Day 25-30 day Coloring Challenge

This was my attempt for Day 25

I have used a stamp, a small one with three flowers and leaves. I stamped it with black ink on Ivory White card stock.

I used color pencils for coloring.

Here I stamped it three times. You can in one of the images, since the stamping was not proper, I outlined it with black ink. The outline looks much thicker. That is why, I have not outlined the rest of the images. I used this for practicing.

Then, I stamped again separately four  images. I did not use masking technique. 

After coloring, I thought, I wanted to add on to it, as the images were not looking connected. So I added the leaves, buds, the stalks at the bottom-drew them by hand and made it into a bunch.

Then I colored them, added a ribbon and colored it.

So, this is the final bouquet. What do you think?

Day 23-30 Day Coloring Challenge

This is the same image I used in my earlier post. I used color pencils for coloring. I think this one is better than the previous one.

I am yet to use all these images in my crafts. i am just coloring them for this challenge. 

Well what do you think about my efforts?

Day 22-30 Day Coloring Challenge

Here is my coloring for the day.

I have chosen the same small motif. I have stamped it on Ivory white card stock using black ink.

I wanted to try the brush pens. I have absolutely no idea about them. So I thought, I would try them out. I have used Camilin Pens.

This was my first attempt. I used a dark colour. If you look at it closely, there are some areas which were not covered.

This is my second attempt where I tried shading. Again there are some areas which were not covered properly. 

I am yet to gain mastery, at least of some sort over this medium. Used to holding brushes, I find it a bit cumbersome holding these pens since they are much thicker and the tip is brush like. So I had to struggle for getting control over the tip. As of now, I prefer brushes.

But one thing about these pens is that there is no mess of mixing various colours for painting and every time you mix, the shade or tint may vary. So these pens save us a lot of time and energy.

I need to work with these pens. The colours are beautiful. I think I need to experiment with a different paper as base-may be water color paper ?

What do you say?
