It's that time of year again - Christmas.....well, almost!
Anyway here are some adorable penguins helping out with the decorations......
For such a simple image there were quite a few challenges......
Primarily colouring black and white!
In order to obtain the depth and dimension on the penguins I opted for shades of grey rather than black on their bodies whilst their tummies are a combination of pale blue and very pale grey.
As always I chose to stamp out my image using Memento Angel Pink to give my finished piece a softer no-lines look.
The upper background was created using my trusty YR30, a small natural sponge and some Isopropyl.
I coloured the chosen area with the copic marker, then sprayed the sponge with Isopropyl, dabbing it on some waste card to remove the excess before dabbing it onto the marker. As you can see it gives a lovely mottled texture to the background. Once dry I then coloured the ground before moving on to the penguins themselves, enhancing some of the finer details with coloured pencils.
