Happy Christmas Eve eve eve eve eve!

Sewist — Tue, 20 Dec 2016 09:00:40 +0000

Ok, so it’s still a few days to go, but I had to share the Christmas tree from Johanna’s Christmas – I stuck with some basic shading with colouring pencils for the tree itself, and fineliners for the rest to make it stand out. I didn’t add any metallic detail into these, as the deep colours I […]

My Creative Escape

Sewist — Tue, 13 Dec 2016 09:00:50 +0000

Sticking with the Johanna’s Christmas book, this one was actually printed off from the Staedtler website for their #mycreativeescape competition. I used Staedtler fineliners (of course) for most of the image, but the shading needed something a little less harsh, so I dug out my Derwent Coloursoft pencils to give the snow, polar bear and ice some […]

Johanna’s Christmas

Sewist — Tue, 06 Dec 2016 09:00:39 +0000

I wasn’t able to find a copy of Johanna Basford’s Johanna’s Christmas in town, but I was able to order it from Amazon at a great price (£5 instead of £12.99), but that did give the disadvantage of not knowing what the book would be like until it arrived. The pages are quite thick, with 37 one-sided images to colour […]

Enchanted Hedgehog?

Notice a theme with these colouring pages yet? This one is also from Johanna Basford’s Enchanted Forest, and was also started with paperchase fineline pens. Unfortunately that pack only came with two shades of green, but when combined with the Staedtler pens, that gave me four shades to work with.

Colouring Crest

Sewist — Tue, 15 Nov 2016 09:00:21 +0000

Another page from Johanna Basford’s Enchanted Forest today. I started this one ages ago, using some fineliners from Paperchase, but I was getting annoyed with the lack of colour options in that pack. I recently purchased some Staedtler fineliners, and those gave me the inspiration needed to actually get on and finish this page. There’s just enough […]

It’s proving to be a busy month

Sewist — Tue, 08 Nov 2016 09:00:35 +0000

November is proving a busy month, and as such I’m not getting much chance to work on my sewing projects. However, I have been trying out some ‘adult colouring’ as a way of switching my brain off of an evening, and I’ve got quite a few pictures finished now. So rather than those pictures just […]
