Escape to Wonderland - Cities

Here's another page from Escape to Wonderland by Good Wives and Warriors.

This was coloured using Caran D'Ache Pablo pencils and a few Marco Renoir pencils along with a metallic gel pen.

Millie Marotta - Wild Savannah Lion

I still haven't decided what to do with the eyes of this lion so I'm posting it here now and deciding another time.

This lion from Millie Marotta's Wild Savannah nook was coloured using pencils from 2 of the Tombow Irojiten libraries - Vol 9 - dull tone and Vol 6 - light grayish tone 1.

Lost Ocean Dolphin Heart

I've been working on this one for the last couple of days from Johanna Basford's Lost Ocean book.

All in Caran D'Ache Pablo pencils apart from 3 Polychromos green pencils:

This was done completely with Caran D'Ache Pablo pencils:

Enchanted Forest - Peeking Owl

I used mainly Caran D'Ache Pablo pencils along with a few Marco Raffines and Polychromos (greens).

The background was done with Conté a Paris pastel pencils which I then dampened:

A New Year already?!

Whoops! It's been nearly 3 months since I last blogged!!?! I was struggling a bit before Christmas with my old glasses not being up to the job when colouring but having picked up my new ones on Christmas Eve I can now colour again!

I've started with this one from Escape to Wonderland (by Good Wives and Warriors) using Caran D'Ache Pablo pencils and Conté a Paris pastel pencils.

A Millie Marotta owl

Here's my latest colouring finished today. This owl is from Millie Marotta's Animal Kingdom book using my fabulous new Caran D'Ache Pablo pencils: 

The colour inspiration came from the top tray of the pencils:

A Millie Marotta Butterfly

Well, all 3 kids are back at school now so I have a bit of time to colour. This week I've been working on the butterfly from Millie Marotta's Tropical Wonderland book.

I used all Prismacolor pencils on this - 15 in total:

Millie Marotta Ibises

It's a while since I coloured a Millie Marotta drawing so last night I sat down and completed this one of ibises from Tropical Wonderland.

I used a mix of Spectrum Noir pencils and Prismacolor pencils with 3 Polychromos green pencils thrown in for good measure.

Another Enchanted Forest double page......

This one has been on my desk for a while and finally finished today. 

It's another one from Johanna Basford's Enchanted Forest colouring book done with a mix of Spectrum Noir and Prismacolor pencils:

Relax with Art - Issue 4 - Carousel Horse

Jess and I both have a copy of Relax with Art Issue 4 and she's said we're only allowed to colour in it when we're together. We sat down the other day and both coloured the carousel horse but I only used Jess's Tesco pencils:

Jess used Tesco pencils and some gel pens for hers:

I'm amazed she finished this as she usually gets bored with one picture and moves on to another one. This is the first she's actually completed!

Another Enchanted Forest colouring....

I'm going to apologise in advance for the photos of this one - I took at least 20 trying to get a good shot but unless there's something seriously wrong with my eyes they all look terrible LOL!

Anyway, this is a double page spread from Johanna Basford's Enchanted Forest book done using mainly Prismacolor pencils with a couple of green Polychromos pencils and a couple of green Spectrum Noir pencils.

Today is the last day of school for Jess and Jamie (Matt finishes tomorrow) and Jess and I are looking forward to lots of quality colouring time together.

A Millie Marotta octopus

This has taken much longer than I hoped and I'm still not sure I like the colours!!!

I threw just about everything at this octopus from Millie Marotta's Animal Kingdom - Spectrum Noir pencils, The Works metallic and glitter gel pens and Faber Castell Connector pens.

Relax with Art - Issue 2 - Fourth page

Here's another coloured page from Relax with Art (issue 2). This one has been sat on my desk for a few weeks now and I've been going little bits here and there.
