Happy Birthday Gorgeous!

Hi there!

Helen here and today I want to show you a colored stamp image from

Doodle Factory and the stamp set Prehistoric.

As I always does, I used Perfect Coloring Paper and Memento Ink.

I sketched in a background.

This time I outlined my object so they blend in with the stamped image.

And I wanted a more cartoonish tree this time.

Starting of coloring the first layer of the skin with E11.

My darkest shade is E15 and the midtone is E13. He got some R00 - R02 on the cheeks.

For the hair and beard I layer in the highlights first with B24.

 

Next I added C3 for the whole beard.

And to darken the hair and beard I used C7 - C5.

For the peltry I used Y32 - YR24 - YR23.

And I didn´t stressed out trying to get a soft blending.

I knew I would add a pattern on top and if it was leather the color wouldn´t be even.

Added the pattern with E47.

The groundshades are E51 - E55 - E53.

The outside of the cave got C2. And inside I used C4 - C6 - C7 - C9.

The treetrunk is colored with E31 - E33 - E35 - E37.

I made some pattern in the darken area, just to hint that there are bark.

As I wanted the tree cartoonish, i filled the tree tops more even, not trying to define some leafs.

Scribbled in something to give the outside of the cave a surface used C4 - C2.

A shadow from the tree, C4 - C6, and my caveman, E55 - E53 - C6.

Some stones on the mark and a little grass used YG67.

I didn´t liked how the surface, spape of the wall of the cave came out when I tried to shape it.

So, I just covered it up with my sentence.

Voiala!

The receiver will not know :P

This is my first coloring of the image but I know I need to make another one.

I want to make him pale Scandinavien, red haired and in a winter scenery.

Happy coloring til next time.

Helen
