This gorgeous page comes from Halloween by Hanna Karlzon and was one of the main reasons I had to get this book the minute it came out! I followed a tutorial on neocolor II’s for the background and used my Black Widow and Castle Arts Harmonious colored pencils for the portrait.
This marked my first time working with masking fluid and unfortunately- it wasn’t a huge success. The paper tore quite a bit after trying to gently remove the fluid and that made coloring way harder. Having said that: I’m positively STOKED that I managed to salvage the image and turned it into this lovely colored piece!
I had so much fun playing with my tinted watercolor pencils in this image! Honestly, the muted palette doesn’t translate to photo and the background looks way better in real life.
I’ve been playing around with my tinted watercolor pencils from Cretacolor, Staedtler and Derwent lately. Decided to make a mostly cool-toned vignette on top and a warmer toned vignette on the bottom and tie them together with some earthy brown and mahogany leaves.
I just finished this lovely flower wreath from Small Victories and I’m absolutely obsessed with the serene colorpalette and the little details. My favorite part is the shimmering background, which was made with Distress Crayons.
