Once again another night has slipped away and here I sit with so much to say, and show...
So I was working on my tutorials and after dead batteries, two different cameras and time spent talking to myself {well, so it seemed!} and practically hugging a small tripod... I have learned this week that I have to film in short periods of time for a do-able download and use my small camera for the best quality. How funny to hear a voice that does not sound like me and watch my hands as they color. So, the first thing I colored is right here today! It took me 16 minutes to color this image...because I filmed it all, LOL I have to split my time because I have class on saturday and I needed to get that all finished and it's thursday already!
I pulled out MFT's Girls Day In, because I thought it would be kinda simple to film and not take to long...plus I think it's cute!
Seems like I am doing a study in texture and dots, don't ya think? All things that to me say soft and relaxing. I used this scrap piece of Chatterbox paper for my inspiration and well, I LOVE pink! I colored this image on my MFT Perfect Paper Panels, with my prismacolor pencils and gamsol. I added the dots with my Marvy liquid applique' {love that stuff too} and the texture on my chair is made with a brown .005 prismacolor pen. The dotted swiss, in case anyone out there has not seen it yet, and that has almost gotta be impossible, but, it's from Cuttlebug.
And that folks is my latest update on the filming industry. Now that I have done all the trial and error stuff, I plan on filming it all again on sunday... please cross those fingers for me.
