Diva Challenge #142 with shading

I had mentioned in the previous post that I was unsure about shading in color. I decided to take the plunge. I am fairly pleased with the results, particularly on the Featherfall and the Antidots. I used generic colored pencils and did a layering. I put the darker color down first and then put the lighter colors on top. On the blue I used a white color pencil to soften it. I posted the original picture here also so you can see the before and after without having to flip back and forth.  First the one with no shading.



And now the one with the shading. You may have to enlarge it so see the shading better.

  1. I think the shading brings in the extra this needed. Very well done.

    1. Thanks. I agree. I was not sure when I started. Not sure about the outcome. If I really feel energetic, I may go back and try to do some shading on Henna Drum.

  2. Great work with the shading! It is a bit more of a challenge when using color, and you did a wonderful job!
