More things from Hampton Art and coloured doodle art

I had a bit of a surprise package today. Inside were some more stamps and dies that I designed and have now been produced by Hampton Art. They’re perfect for card making, paper crafts, planners, journals and scrapbooks!

I’ve also coloured in the doodle art from yesterday. I used a mixture of Copic Ciao markers, Chameleon markers and some coloured pencils. I’m quite pleased with the colouring, learned some new tricks with the Chameleon markers, which means I’d do things a little differently if I coloured it again.

Doodle art

At the weekend, I finished all the illustrations for the upcoming colouring book ‘By the Sea‘, to be one of the titles in the Escapes series from Dover publications.

So, over the last couple of days I’ve been doing other things, some arty, some not. However, after watching some videos on YouTube by piccandle, I thought I’d have a go at their particular style of doodle art, and this is my homage to them.

I had a lot of fun drawing this I must admit. It’s full size is shy of A4 in size, and I drew it on squared paper, scanned it in, cleaned it up using GiMP, then printed it out ready to colour, most probably with Copics, Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and Promarkers.

By the Sea

I’m busy drawing colouring templates for a book entitled By the Sea, one in the ‘Escapes’ range of colouring books from Dover Publications.

When I completed this template, I couldn’t resist printing it and colouring it in.

This is now finished! It’s taken a lot of time over the past few days, but I’m happy with it now.

It’s been completed on A3 mixed media paper using a variety of media. Details have been added using coloured pencils and iridescent/metallic paints, hence the shimmery, shiny spot to the left. These details are a nightmare to photograph, but hopefully you’ll get enough of an idea from what you can see in the image.

Adding the iridescent patterns was a bit like using ithildin; I had to have the light at the right angle so I could see what I was doing and that also involved me cricking my neck at awkward angles!

My only problem now is to put a price on my work to sell it; so any sensible help/advice would be greatly recieved! Oh, I also need to find a name for it too…

2017 arrives

And here are the resulting cards; they all shimmer and shine to one degree or another!

2nd August 2015 is Colouring Day

Get your pens, pencils, crayons and paints out and lose yourself for a little while in colouring a template and/or filling it with patterns. Turn off the technology, give yourself some time and space.

One of my designs from Entangled is available to download for this event from Dover Publishing’s Colouring Day page, as are other gorgeous designs, as well as a specially designed one for the day.

You can also download one of my owls from Color Me Happy via Hobbycraft.

I’d love to see what you do with them, I really would!

Another news article mention for the Color Me books!

This article appeared on the NorthJersey.com website today:

It’s National Crayon Day – and it’s not just for kids.

It’s also been brought to my attention that the books were mentioned in an article in the New York Times today too, though I don’t have a link to that …yet.
