my first rule was that I would work from top to bottom and try a different picture on each one. then I thought I would do one a day... which sounds great. and ambitious. but even I know myself better than that and there's no way I could make that happen. so I figure, we'll just ride this wave out and when I have an inkling in me to drawing a tiny little... something, I will do it.
here's what I did: (oh! tip: these little tiles have a great tooth on them- think Bristol paper for drawing- so it takes to color pencils, charcoal and oil pastels easily. I will get to paints, eventually.)
step one: sketch your drawing. I used a white charcoal pencil, since the tile I was using is dark.
hello baby mushroom and tiny clouds...
step 2: apply color. I use Prismacolor color pencils. believe it or not, there are 14 different pencils used in this piece! Prismacolors are my favorite pencils to use because you can layer the colors so easily.
it's really hard to photograph your strong hand with your weak hand. sheesh.
step 3: step back and admire your work!
CUTE is pretty much the only word I can find to describe this.
front:
back.
