Despite being sick this week I got my Kidlit Collage image done! I did this completely in Clip Studio Paint. I’m not sure that I’ll use this coloring style on all my art, but I feel like it’s something I’ll do again. I’ve actually started coloring like this for the cover of the Writing Challenge booklet!
Want to join me and Christy Ann (@christyillustrates on Instagram) in Kidlit Collage? There is no sign up! Just post your image on Instagram (and other social media) and tag #kidlitcollage. That way we can see your work!
Just doing some flat coloring this week. I’m working with mostly greens and golds. I was going to make the skin greenish, but the brown looked so much better. Hoping the hair will work as gold.
This weekend I’m working hard to get all my ducks in order for the big writing event. (sign up for the event is here: http://ngi.c96.myftpupload.com/register-for-the-writing-challenge/ The main thing I’m doing is gathering names and asking people to join as guests. This is my least favorite part of the event process.
Yes, I’ve done a lot of event planning in the past for Smart Dummies, but asking people to join only gets slightly easier. I’m over the fear of people yelling at me about the event, but asking is still hard. Even when people are friends. Especially when the people I am asking are friends. I love you all and I hope I’m not annoying!
I’m still looking for names for the challenge. If you have a name feel free to add it below!
You can now sign up for the new writing challenge below! I’m doing pre-registration for this event just to judge involvement in this new challenge. If you pre-register now you will not have to register later this year! This event will take place on this blog (as will future Smart Dummies events).
Edit: The price of the planner will stay the same.$15 total USD for the planner plus shipping to the US! This planner will a bit be longer in content and the calendar will be for the 6 months (instead of 2 months)!
I’m still looking for a name for the Writing Challenge (feel free to post your ideas in the comments below).
