Once Upon A Time pencils colouring class!!!!!

I haven't been very good at posting lately..that seems to be how I start every post!!! 

I signed up with Kit and Clowder in June to learn how to colour. The June class was super fun. I've had the July pencils class done for a while, but have just not got around to posting the pictures of it.

This one was the July 2020 Once Upon A Time Pencils class.

We started off with this cute image from Conie Fong.

We then started colouring the green grass mounds by the side of the little creek.

Next we moved on to the sky. I really like how this turned out. I will definitely remember it so I can use it in scenes for cards and things.

Next was colouring the rocks along the creek as well as the rocks around the house.

After that we moved on to the water and the reflection of the grass, rocks, bridge and trees in that water. We then coloured the cute little cabin. Making sure we had a glow in the window to let everyone know someone was home! 

From there we moved on to the trees, bushes and canopy of leaves across the top. Simple techniques add nice texture to all of the elements in the picture.

From there we moved on to the skin and her pretty eyes. Skin takes some practice for sure, but each time I get a little bit better and a little more comfortable.

Next was hair. Which is a little tough because it was black hair. But she turned out okay I think.

Then we moved on to the dress and finished up the basket of flowers and the little birds.

Here is my final product after following along with the class instructions

 

Every time I complete a class, I then do another of the exact same image just to reinforce the things I learned during the class and to spend a bit of extra time on anything I may have struggled with or wanted to tweak. I'm always surprised how different each one looks, even though they are the exact same image, the exact same colours, coloured by the exact same person! 

This is the final product I coloured on my own after the class, trying to remember all of the things I learned! I'll be honest, I have a ways to go, but I am pleased with how they both turned out. There are some things in the original image I like better than the other, but then there are some things in the other image I like better than the original. I still am amazed....when I walk by and look at it...I give my self a little pat on the back and say "I did that!"

Chow for now!!!
