OK onto this weeks tutorial, this week is the turn of the gorgeous Julie………….

Here we are, Friday again and time for me to do my first tutorial for the PFP weekend workshop (first one ever actually, sshhh!! - my maiden voyage, LOL!) Our sponsor this week is Doodle Palace

and I just fell in love with this fabulous USS Ark digi image from them. I started off with the elephant and coloured most of his head and trunk with Ice Grey, then added Tea Green but not quite so far into the centre of his head, then Grey Green mostly round the edges.
I then went over the whole head with the Ice Grey again and kept blending until I was happy with the result. (You'll probably be able to see this better in the photo after this one!)
I moved onto the sheep next and made him a little black faced sheep using Warm Greys 3-5 starting with the lightest as for the elephant. I then edged his wool with Khaki just to give a little definition.
Onto the giraffe, using Honeycomb at the edges, then Saffron and finally Buttercup to blend.
I then used Warm Grey 3 and Tan to colour his markings. Onto the Cheeky Monkey, I used a combo of Tan and Warm Greys again to tone and blend, and then Pastel Yellow and Buttercup for the Duck. You can see in the photo below that the elephant colours have bled quite a bit but my finished picture will show that I've managed to blend this away with my blender pen (outlining the image also helps with any little problem areas!!)
The next set of pictures show the colouring of the wood. For this I used Sandstone, Caramel and Tan starting with the darkest first in the corners of the wood where I imagined it would be more weathered and shadowed.
I finally went over the whole ark with Pastel Yellow and kept blending until it looked like this:
Lastly, I coloured the wheels using Holly and Grey Green to achieve the light and shade.
Just noticed a slight bit of bleeding again under the back wheel, which can be a bit of an issue with darker colours, so I'll use my blender again to remove this in time for my finished card which you can see, along with the rest of the DT cards for next week, on Tuesday. So don't forget to pop by the PFP challenge blog then!!
Hope you've found seeing how I colour, helpful and thanks for staying with me!!
