Dustin Pike cards up

Finally I got these colored images made up into cards. i really proud how my skater dragon turned out. His s/board has 8 layers on it.The pros@ Scribble Talk have some really good tips. I learned how to color w/light feather strokes, use corkscrew circles & light layers. It takes more time but the colors really pop on the paper.
DH walked by the computer when I was uploading my pic's. I posted my 1st still life card. He said who did this? I did. He was a little taken back. I was a little annoyed. He usually doesn't pay attention since he's a big geek to my work.

I will be putting Keep on Truckin on these for my GI cards/

Scribble Talk

This is a professional pencil artist site. I look 2 the color pencil artist section. WOW the works done in CP are awesome. i learned some tips from them. 2 of the images from Dustin Pike are my 1st experiments, I learned to color in small cork screw circles. Use a light feather like touch,lightly touch the paper.Use layers from light to dark. Very little hand pressure on these,saved a lot of hand pain.
The colors really popped out on these images. Takes a little longer ,WOW look,less hand pain.
I relly luv the skater. Hiss/board has @ least 8 layers

I went DIGTAL!!!

I finally got to use Forest's camera he gave me for my B/day. It's awesome. I can really zoom in & get the whole image of the card in the frame. this is our 1st digital camera. Now I can post my cards as I make them. I just had sent my 2nd s/ment of cards to Iraq. this was my biggest s/ment .Today another s/ment going out to a swap buddy in Florida for H/ween cards.
This is my 2nd batch of Dustin Pike's digi's colored images. This is the 2nd time I have printe dthese off. I need s/thing to color in front of my bdrm a/c unit. It was a very,very long hot summer here.I found these digi's while looking for s/thing else to color.This time I printed them off on GP110# c/stock founf @ Sam's. Allen didn't think I could print c/stock on our printer. On a thread on s/bk site I had seen s/one using a Cannon printer. I played around w/ the printer settings & figured out how to place 3 images on my paper. Not to bad for s/one who's not a tech geek.
I was so TICKED because the Prism pencils didn't SMEAR. I colored all these last Sat. to my heart's delight. I luv my Prism pencils,they lay layers of color down so smoothly. I luv the britilant colors.
I don't have pic's of the Botancials cards I sent to Iraq.I'm still getting back on feet from my asthma attacks & my hospital stay. I did post images of some Prism colored flowers that are in progress on my desk.on my Flicker site.Also Dustin Pike H/ween cards. I will have to go back later & type in my tags & descriptions. I get tired really easily. I cooked hashbrowns etc for Allen & I for breakfast this morn. It's actually cooler so I was hungry this morn.
