My friends and family know what I like. Here's what they gave me for Christmas and my birthday. Coloring books! Nice ones, too, with nice linework. This is important.
The Christmas Carol one had watercolor paints attached. (!!!!) I had to try it.
It turned out really good.
Still, I missed the feeling of the wacom beneath my fingers.
Duchess Rowena, poisoning the king. She's such a baddie.
Undo button and layers. I think I'm addicted.

Smart people with Photoshop (or Illustrator): Is there any way to turn a texture into a swatch? So you can use it with the gradient tool, like a regular color? Please tell me there is.
Whoa... I don't think I could ever turn a coloring book picture into that! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou could do a custom texture and fill with it, maybe? You have to use the "Fill" command from the "Edit" menu, then choose "Pattern". Or maybe that's not what you needed.
ReplyDeleteI love coloring books too -- though I'm not as good at coloring as you are, Heather.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was Primary Chorister several years ago I colored some pictures for the new song we were learning. A seven year old in the second row was staring at my pictures and said "wow -- you're a really good colorer!"
Of course I wasn't any better than any other adult, but I still giggle at how good her comment made me feel :)
I don't know mary.... I've seen your coloring. I would definitely say you are a better colorer than the average adult.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Danny! I'll try that.
ReplyDeleteAnd Mary, you are an AWESOME colorer. I've seen your stuff.
