I have no idea what a bookmark and a pumpkin have in common except when I went outside to take this picture I thought they looked kinda cute together. Working on my alpha-doodling and came up with this little pudgy lettering.
You can see it a little better in this shot. Not being one to do ANYTHING without adding a little color, off I went with my rainbow pneumonic of ROY G BIV. For those of you new to this it’s Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo (purple), Violet (pink).
Had my doodle directory prints out for ideas, because I was going to need them on this next step.
The great thing about doing a background in just ONE color is…..you don’t have to think too much. You can just go with wherever the design takes you. No worries about shading/ highlighting, outfits for the birdies, “does the drawing look like the picture?”….you know…that kind of stuff!
This type of doodling is just sheer DELIGHT!!! Really! Give it a try if you haven’t already.
You’ve got one more day to submit your own CUSTOMIZED bookmark for the Bookmark Contest at D'blogala. Deadline is Friday 10/15.
I love this. It is adorable with the pumpkin! Eden - did you Photo Shop a little baby pumpkin into this giganic one for your picture? Up to your old tricks?
ReplyDeleteLooks great!
ReplyDeleteI like the color on B & W and the plump letters you used on this one, Eden.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the ROY G BIV mnemonic. I always have to look that up. I got stick on I - couldn't think of a color that I could stand for - so I'm glad you got real explicit for the less bright among your readers ;-)
Awesome bookmark, Eden. This would inspire me to open a book, knowing it held this colorful bookmark inside of its pages! What fun letters you've created here.
