Oh Dear!

Thursday, April 9, 2009

I had different plans for this Whipper Snapper image.

I usually go to bed and dream up different layouts or sentiments to go with the images I've colored and up until the night before last, I had another layout planned for this image. Then this layout formed in my head and the other idea vanished! Does that ever happen to you?

I'm still pleased with how it turned out. It looks a little on the elegant side, but then you can't help kaugh at this little guy! This is a great image isn't it?! I think his whiskers or sprouts are hilarious! Perfect for get well cards!

One of the things I really like to do is choose paper colors that are complementary (or almost) to the main color on the image. That way the image really stands out. So when I was flipping through my stash I pulled this piece out by K&Company (that my friend Mary sent me) because it was mostly red, but still had a hint of that yellow/green color in it from the bug.


Again, he was colored with SU reinkers and an aquapainter.
