Today I'm coloring in frosted Christmas gingerbread colors. In the slideshow you'll see that I used two very pale beige tones to add dimension to the candy canes, first edging with a light beige, then later smoothing out the shadows by coloring over with a much lighter pale beige. It's quite fun coloring a pattern [...]
Today's coloring progress slideshow: Today's book: Ink Doilies (Angie's Patterns - Volume 1) Colored with: Copic Sketch Markers. Colored with these Copic Sketch marker shades
I've been told that Ink Doilies is "different" than all of my other books, and of course it is in some ways. This was the very first of my books and my drawing is always changing. If you compare one of my books with the very next one that I published, differences will be smaller. [...]
It's pretty rare that I plan out a color scheme in advance. Usually colorings progress much like this one. First, some color in my marker box looks particularly fun at the moment. This time it was and intense pumpkin orange shade. Orange is often kind of an awkward color to use, at least for me, [...]

One of the side effects of really working to create stillness in your life is that words start to feel quite busy. Increasing my daily meditation at home is apparently steering me toward a bit less talking and a lot more listening. You know that you are calming and stilling your internal being when you [...]
I'm always pleasantly surprised when odd color combinations end up looking pretty and intriguing when they are spread through a pattern. There actually was a little thought in my color selection for this piece. It started off with Christmas colors and somehow drifted off into frosted sugar cookies colors.
