Winter Gnome

Hi!
I hope you had a nice Christmas.
Maybe Santa brought you some Copic markers?

I love when I stumble upon some stamps that I haven´t seen before. I found a set of four gnomes on Facebook and I fell in love at once. My first impression was that they were spring or summer images.
But I wanted them on my Christmas cards and I want to show how I made a winter scene from one of the images.



First I made a summer scene.

Hair: Y32 - E31 - E35
Clothes: R81 - R83 - R85 - R89, B000, E70 - E71

Tree trunks: E42 - E43, E25 - E59 - E49

As you can see she is holding a dandelion. But I masked it so she just holds the stem.



Sketched in my  scene with C0.



Moon and sparkler: Y00
Sky: B91 - B93
Birches: E40



Moon: E70
Sky: B95 - B97

Skin: E000  - BV20 - E11 - R02 - Y00
Top hat and skirt: R35 - R37 - R89
Vest: YG61 - YG7
Apron: C3 - C0
Hair: E08 - E19 - E29
Fly agaric: R05 - R08 - R46 - T5,  C2 - C0, E40 - E41 - E42 - E44
Bird: C1 - C2 - C3, R35, Y17, Y00



So I imagine her laying there on the fly agaric on new years eve, celebrating with a sparkler.

Santa's Watching

Hi! Helen here today
.
Christmas is coming! Have finished your Christmas cards? I will show you a Santa today. I bought the stamp on Facebook so I don´t know the brand but I love it!!

I sketched in my background with C0.

Fence: E79
Snow: C1



Sky: B93 - B95 - B97
Trying to get it to glow from the house.

Window: Y21 - Y15 - Y17 - YR14
Glow on the roof: Y21 - Y17
Glow on the fence: Y21
Snow: B91

Footprints: B45 - B97
Pine trees: C7
Snow: B70



Skin: E000 - BV20



Skin: E11 - R02



Sweater and woolen cap: R05



Sweater and woolen cap: R35



Sweater and woolen cap: R89 - R37, C3 - C1 - C5, Blender
Glow: Y21



Gloves and boots: C3 - C7 - C5

Here you got some options.
Just leave it as it is.
Make a bright stary night sky.
Or...



Just cover the whole image with snow.
It´s perfect if there are parts in your colouring that didn´t end up as you wanted it. Just remember to break some lines, and in front of your subject. I usually don´t put snow in the face of my image.

I made some snow just because I love when it snows. Snow comes with peace as it never is otherwise.
I made the snow with a Gelly Roll Dark White pen. 

Hope Santa will pay you a visit before we´ll meet again.
I wish you all a Happy Colourful Christmas.

Love
Helen
