Nuts About You!

Hello everyone.

Helen here!
Today I will show you an image from the Greeting Farm and it is from a stamp set called Forest friends.


I stamped the image on Perfect Colouring Paper with my black Memento ink pad.


My first  coat for the squirrels isYR09 and I cover the whole area where the squirrels should be reddish brown.


Then I went for my shadow color, the darkest, E19.


My midtone wasE08.


And then I went over it once again with YR09 to smoothen it all out.


For the hat of the acorn I used E81-E84.


And the shadow color is E87.


For the white part of the squirrels, I started with W0.


Then I got in with W3 for the darkest colour.


W1 is my midtone. And R11 for cheeks.


Fot the acorn I used E33-E37-E35.
And I sketched in the tree with a light grey.


I starded with the lightest colour for the tree, E31, and the grass, YG03.
I don´t bother to get the colouring even, I know it will be a lot of layers in top of this first one.


With E31 I tried to make a pattern for the cortex. I tried to get some asymmetric rectangles but I wasn´t happy with what I got. But I let it be and strarted to work on top of the result I got.


Instead I got in with my E25 and scribbled in some vertical lines. I varied the pressure on the nib to get both thin and thicker lines. Don´t  overthink this moment, just scribbel on but try to not get an even pattern.


The grass got layers of YG25-YG17, and the sky got a layer of B000.


To darken it all upp the tree got a layer of E29 and E49. 
On the grass I used YG67-YG99.
The sky got B00.
And for the flowers R11.
