After getting advice from Cora & watching many youtube videos, I thought I would try coloring some more. Gamsol was recommended to use to help blend the colored pencils. Of course, there are no stores near me that sell it. Well, a couple do......if I want some massive jug of it. I don't even know if I will like it! So while I wait for my little bottle to arrive by mail, I tried baby oil again. I printed a digi from Whimsy Stamps called "Santa's Puppy." I know Christmas is over but at the time, it was the easiest digi in my files to find that had very simple lines.
I am really happy with the way this turned out. I wish I could get my colors a little darker/vibrant without having to press so hard. But I guess that will come with practice. The only thing I don't care for is the "border" that appeared on the outside of image due to the baby oil. Not sure if it would have happened if I used a blending stub instead of a Q-tip. But the blending stubs are coming with my little bottle of Gamsol.
Thanks for taking a peek!
Good job Kristi! I am no expert, but I think you will find the blending stump much better than a q-tip. I have used both gamsol and baby oil...I can't tell a difference. I get darker colors by going back over the areas I want darker, or use a darker pencil. Color lightly .. don't press hard! Pat Kinkaid
ReplyDeleteThank you Pat! I will keep your hints in mind for the next time.
DeleteI like it! Good job. :) The blending stubs are great, you'll notice a big difference between a q-tip!
ReplyDeleteKrystil, I love your puppy! You did a great job coloring! I have only used baby oil, I've never tried Gamasol.
