Have fun & colour on!!

RSD Fantasie 2005

One of my favourite colouring books has to be The World of Rick St Dennis. There is just such a great mix of gorgeous designs in this book. I've spent the last 2 days working on this one & love how it's turned out.

I coloured this using my usual Marco Raffine & Whsmith pencils, with soft pastels added to the background. I wanted to have lightening bolts around it so I used an eraser & a shaky hand to add these.

Hope you like it 😀

Toadstool Island

I haven't picked up Doodle Invasion book in a while, so that's where I ended up last night.

This was coloured again using Marco Raffine & Whsmith pencils, soft pastels & my favourite white gel pen.

Doodle Invasion by Kerby Rosanes is available to buy from Amazon.

Oh Christmas Tree

With the start of the Christmas ads & Christmas movies appearing on tv, I was feeling a little Christmassy this week. So the tree image in Johanna Basford's Enchanted Forest was just crying out for a snowy scene.

Coloured using pencils, soft pastels & white acrylic paint. 

Love how these books can let your imagination run & create your own personal pics.

Freebie Colourings

There's now quite a lot of colouring groups on Facebook, which is great to see others work & added bonus is that every now & again some artists share their gorgeous designs for free.

I've coloured a couple of these artist freebies this week from Slinky Tart & Katie Packer. Both different styles but had so much fun doing them & they both allowed me to get colour crazy.

Both coloured using Marco Raffine pencils, Whsmith pencils, black Sharpie pen & soft pastels on bottom one.

Slinky Tart Mandala can be found here...

Witch's Coven

Almost Trick or Treat time again, so to get me in the mood for Halloween, I coloured the Witch's Coven from The World of Rick St Dennis.

This took me about 8 hours, with coloured pencils & soft pastels on the background.

Couldn't resist the thought of orange/red hair with greens for a striking lady.

Coloured using Marco Raffine pencils & Whsmith pencils.

Artist is Elias Chatzoudis, check out his Deviant art page for more fabulous ladies.

They don't need to be ugly & hideous, the wicked witches can be glam & sexy too.

There's something for everyone's tastes & skeletons might not be yours but how about these gorgeous ladies...

Bored of colouring leaves...

I got so bored of colouring flowers, leaves & animals that I started looking for alternative quirky books.

Surprised to find out there is actually lots out there & my favourites have to be by an artist called Rick St Dennis.

I use pencils on all my pics with occasional backgrounds done using soft pastels.

Here's a few of my Rick St Dennis ones from his Day of the Dead book ...
