More from the “Illusions” coloring book.
This week I’m going to pull designs from a book called “Modern Patterns: Illusions Coloring Book” by MindWare.
The glare on the metallic here kinda blends all the silvery colors together, alas. Also, I think my scanner scanned most of them upside down and I only rotated the ones where it really mattered.
This is the last post for the week of “Secret Garden” pages. There are so many more, but we’ll swing back around someday.
I did the leaves in black because a) I love black, b) I was out of green (there is another maze in this book that I did in red and pink for the second reason, also).
I’ve got two more geometry books, and Enchanted Forest by the same artist as Secret Garden. And I’ve got about three pages left to do in a math-y coloring book, which will be fun to share when it’s done. I think I’ll post one of the geometric designs books next.
The penultimate day of “Secret Garden”.
I somewhat enjoyed doing the bug page. Lots of ways to be creative with color.
Another 2-panel drawing from “Secret Garden”.
More from “Secret Garden”.
This is more from “Secret Garden”.
More from “Secret Garden” by Johanna Brasford…
This is one of the two-panel ones. The combined one is on top, with the two separate pages below.
For the next week, I’m going to take pages from Secret Garden by Johanna Basford (2013). Some of the images in this book were harder to scan because they spanned two pages, and the pages were too wide to get them all at once in my scanner, so I had to scan the pages separately, and then try to piece them back together in an image editor. If post any of those images, I’ll post the combined image, as well as the two separate panels. For images that took up only one page, then I’ll just post that. The downside of a book like this (and her other coloring book Enchanted Forest), is that I used up a lot of green… and I mean A LOT of green. To the point where I had to just guy extra green pens, and make some scenes “fall” scenes so I could use other colors, and at some point turned lily pads into orange slices.
A little bit of glare on the left, and lots of purple here.
This is the last day for “Celtic Masterpieces”. There are more, but we’ll come back to those some other day.
Tomorrow perhaps we’ll do something plant-related for a while.
