I finally started my first Maria Trolle book, Maanvallei, and decided on coloring the very very first page!




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.

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.




The photos don’t do the vibrancy of the colors justice but… I’m so proud of this project!! She turned out gorgeous!
