So today was Secret Santa. Aside from presents, we’d all decided to make each other something and what better opportunity for me to whip out my pencils and color a friend a cute and whimsical bookmark?!
Whimsical bookmark

Mourning butterflies
In the mood for something else, I decided to play with my ecoline pots with this piece. Although it’s not on watercolor paper and the warping is pretty severe, I’m quite pleased with how this came out.

Latte Kitty
When I was flipping through Imaginary Friends by Karolina Kubikowska, my eye kept being drawn to this adorable scene, even though I’m positively TERRIFIED of coloring people- I’ve never successfully colored hair or skin before. But as it kept calling to me, I impulsively decided to bite the bullet and tear this page out so I could color it!

Icy bird and castle
I just finished my first page in Karolina Kubikowska’s Imaginary Friends (2nd revised edition) and I could not be more excited!! I started this piece in September, mostly to see how the paper does with water soluble media (gorgeously!), and then figured I might as well color the whole thing. After laying the base layer, though, I’d let it sit for two months because I was in the mood for Halloween coloring.

Halloween Ornaments
This originally started as a salvage mission: the page had gotten damaged by some washi tape in the top and bottom left corner, but then became something more!
