Summer of Colour 4 Week 6.....

I can't believe it is the last cumber of colour now, I've really enjoyed getting back in to it (even though I spend most of the weeks moaning about myself :-P) and I'll deffo be doing it again if it is here next year :-)

I've actually had my piece done for a few days but I've just not had a chance to write this post! I'm not even sure if I'm technically on time to count but ah wells! I've been trying to join some of your wonderful Blogs so I can follow what you are doing but at the moment Google Friend Connect just won't let me.....sometimes technology REALLY annoys me!

The colours this week where raspberry, Tangerine and Lemon.....I was so pleased with these colours, they make me very happy! I decided to get my sketchbook out (it had dust on it, and I found my old drawings from the last time I did Summer of Colour way back when :-P) Anyway I decided to do something that I LOVE doing....Sugar Skulls :-D


And here he is! I love him, I am genuinely very pleased with this :-) Do you think I should outline the skull a bit more? Maybe with black? Either way I think the colour balance came out just as I wanted it (mainly raspberry and tangerine with a bit of yellow!).


I mainly used my pencils again but I also added some bits with my Sakura Gelly Roll pens! I probably could have added more but I thought it was best to step back before I go to mad haha!

So there you have it, I managed to get all 6 weeks done! Hurrah! I've made it my mission to get back in to my art more! I used to love art (still do really), had big plans to go to uni etc etc, somewhere along the way I got lost and I stopped doing art altogether! Now I'm in that place where I don't think I'm very good and I haven't found my style or groove yet! 

Now I'm off to look at all your fab work and hopefully (fingers crossed) get to follow the Blogs I really want to! Wish me luck!!

    Sugar Skull is terrific with his flowery eyes and good teeth. I love all the dots and twirls too.

    I think the colors are quite proportional, and I adore this skull you created. I have really enjoyed visiting each week and am also sorry this must end.

    Wow this is wonderful work! I think it's great as it is - a sugar skull I don't think is "oulined" but if you were mounting it on white paper maybe? It could go on brightly coloured journal page just the way it is though. LOVE it!

    This is a very original and lovely way to use all the colors in a balance. Sugar skulls are new to me. But looking at your drawing i feel like giving it a try:)

    Love your sugar skull! I wouldn't outline it with black, but maybe with one of the colours you've used, raspberry maybe? Then again, I don't know anything about sugar skulls, so maybe an outline doesn't belong there ... ;-)

    Oh I am SO far behind responding to my blog comments, mainly as my laptop died and I now share the main PC again and our internet service has been pretty intermittent of late. Anyway love your sugar skull, maybe I'd outline it in black to give an edge, so to speak. Thanks for visiting me BJ
