#27 WB2 Card for Pastor D

Our pastor is leaving our church, so I sketched a card front in my WB2. After the design was completed, I cleaned it up in PS3 and added the central text. We will certainly miss Pastor D and his wife!

May God bless you!

#7 WB2 Scene Happy Orange

Last evening I had some 'spare' time while waiting at home and was able to color this scene I drew in February. The orange, red, and yellow is so bright and cheerful.

I hope you enjoy this cheery, peaceful scene.

#3 WB2 Scene Wishful Thinking

I finally finished coloring this one. It feels like it has taken forever. It's really been only a couple of weeks and at that I have worked on it sporadically.

My daughter and I have been making greeting cards. I will think about posting some of them here.

Have a great day!

#18 WB2 Scene

Well, this is terribly out of order, but I have not felt like coloring the others in between yet. I have been looking at Indian textile patterns and henna patterns from different places. I like the fluidity of the designs.

Life here has been a bit busy. I am tutoring an Algebra 2 student and have been doing some review on Khan Academy. Besides quizzes, they have excellent videos on math and other topics. Other things have been going on, but that is the main reason I haven't been posting. Most of my coloring is done at home and both the cleaning up and posting of my sketches require the computer, hence, with my 'spare' time at my desk I have been working on math, not my sketches.

Hope you all have a lovely blessed day,

#8 WB2 Scene with Words

This one is a bit different than the ones I have posted before. The extra width gives me space to experiment.

Since I am not hurrying to finish this book, I am not working in page order as I have for the last month. Now, I have colored and posted pages 1, 2, 4 (sort of) and 8 (this post), have inked through page 11 or so, and have sketched another 4-5 pages in my Waitbook 2. I like working in my book this way because I can pick and choose what I do at any given time. However, the pages will not be posted linearly as they have been for awhile and I'll have to be careful I don't forget any :0

Have a great evening if you're in my time zone, otherwise have a great night/morning.

Hugs,
Theta

#4a WB2 Leaf Dragon Purple 54

Let me know what you think of this guy. I sketched him in my new waitbook and scanned the inked image. Then I opened it up in Illustrator and traced it. Afterwards, I moved the tracing to Photoshop and commenced coloring. I think it turned out okay, but I won't quit my day job just yet ;D  I am still planning on finishing the one in my waitbook 2 using colored pencils. It seemed to take a lot longer to color this guy on the computer than it would by hand. But there are definite advantages to doing it this way, especially because I now have a vector outline of my image which is extremely versatile. I don't know if I will color more this way now, but I think I will try to get them all traced before I color them. Doing so will give me more options later. A couple nice things about coloring this way is that there are no smudges, no white pencil tracks, and swirling the color is fun. The satisfaction I get from coloring is not there though.

Anyway, have a great and blessed day!

Hugs,
Theta
