You'll Never Catch Me Wishing For Snow, BUT...

I decided to start dealing with this weird heatwave by creating fiction. Specifically, snowman fiction. 

I mad a TON of Christmas and winter cards yesterday - most for Dare to Get Dirty next month, and it was like imaginary air conditioning. I have zero interest in real snow, despite the heat, but I do love snowmen, and this little snowman & snow baby image kicked off a day of winter cards! 

I stamped them in Fadeout Ink and then colored them with my fave colored pencils - so blendy. The coloring was super simple - I used two greens, two reds, an orange, two blues (dark blue for shadows), brown, black and grey - but you can still get a lot of depth with limited colors.

The paper you use matters - you want something with a little tooth, even with super blendy pencils - this is what I use for a bright white pencil paper. 

On my card base, I used this black gingham paper - I wanted something simple. 

I'll have a sped up coloring video of this image on the socials later, so be sure you're subscribed - Instagram, TikTok and YouTube most likely - I ran out of time to edit this weekend.

Loveyameanitstaycoolbye.
