First Try At Creating Coloring Pages

Lotus Buddha

I done went and did a thing. I took one of my carving designs and turned it into a printable coloring page. I can’t remember exactly how or why I got this bright idea, all I know is that I found myself fussing at my computer for five hours trying to clean up my linework in Photoshop only to have to transfer it to Illustrator, which is a different beast altogether. It was definitely a learning experience but I think it turned out okay. The pictures above show the finished coloring page along with the original drawing and the carving I did from the drawing. Despite my fussing, knowing what I know now, there’s a good chance I may be doing a few more designs like this. 🙂

2015 was a great year for doing more lino carvings and experimenting with larger sizes and a few other mediums.

Now that it’s 2016 I plan to focus more on my first love, drawing and stippling, with the hopes of creating some amazing pieces. I’ll still be doing lino carvings here and there but I really tend to put more focus on honing my craft in stippling this year. So here’s to new adventures and new works of pen and ink mastery
