I've tried a bit of a new technique (video here) in the shadowing of the colouring by using some (fairly dark) grey. I think I did OK on her legs, and parts of the dress (well, her arms at least), but I was not so happy with her hat! I also should have been more brave with the folds in her dress. Oh, well, it's all a learning curve!
I used purple tissue paper with threads in it for the backing paper which I thought looked a bit spooky, as though the random threads were spider webs?
D'ya think?
Maybe?
No?
Ok. I'll get my coat! ;0)

Great job Annette, your shading looks perfect, after all is there any other colour of shadow?? Love the fibres showing through the paper too...perfect xx
ReplyDeleteTake your coat off, she is fab! Hugs xx
ReplyDeleteI'm loving this little cutie witch... and yes those threads definitely look like the cobwebs in my corners!! lol!
ReplyDeleteI THINK I did a shading video a while back... have you looked at mine? It's under the tabs at the top of my blog.. but I think it was only the blue shading if memory serves me well.. (and it often doesn't!) It was a couple of years back so now I often use N copic shades or warm/dark grays. I do think the shading makes such a difference to an image... glad you're enjoying experimenting!
