I've been off this week but it's been so hot on an evening I've not been able to do much (keeping windows open and light on is a good combination for bug attraction). I have had chance to have a play around with my polychromos pencils for a change. I tend to colour mainly in Copics these day so please be kind when you see my coloured image. I definitely need to do some colouring classes for pencils!
So, after all that rambling here is Griff coloured with polychromos pencils. You can find my hippogriff in my Etsy shop here, where you can get 10% off all my images at checkout by quoting SKIANDREA10.
After colouring him I decided to fussy cut him.
I wanted some background papers to match his colouring, I've gone with blues / aquas from Lemoncraft and 13Arts. All the design papers have been distressed with a Tonic Solutions tool.
Here he is mounted onto those layered papers, I've also added a glittery silver star and three tiny silver star charms. The sentiment was made up from Tim Holtz stickers.
Back to my Copics next time I think.......
