I need to learn some shading tricks, however and how they show reflection on shiny costume or weapon surfaces. Little tricks like that so my coloring doesn't look like a toddler did it.<br />Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08408150910056369989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528812496347938474.post-1891465736253657472015-12-27T19:09:26.342-08:002015-12-27T19:09:26.342-08:00They're cool but you can do the same thing wit...They're cool but you can do the same thing with a regular coloring book and get the subject you like (Star Wars, avengers etc). Just use colored pencils and make highlights and shadows.j-swinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09203258976327949472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528812496347938474.post-73190430161937398712015-12-27T17:21:12.771-08:002015-12-27T17:21:12.771-08:00I was thinking a nice comic book cover one would b...I was thinking a nice comic book cover one would be cool.

Of course, now she wants to research the proper time period colors of the vintage houses in one book, so that they are accurate. Some people can't relax at all!Wings1295https://www.blogger.com/profile/08045644215235749353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528812496347938474.post-46048274767374672002015-12-27T15:49:31.495-08:002015-12-27T15:49:31.495-08:00These colouring books do vary in quality but I'...These colouring books do vary in quality but I'd recommend the Johanna Basford ones for the intricate and imaginative designs. Sarah really loves those. I recently bought James a Doctor Who colouring book for Christmas which is really cool and I've also got one featuring dodgy old comic book covers. Unsurprising, really :-)<br />Give 'em a try, Cal. They're definitely therapeutic when you're feeling stressed out.Simon B https://www.blogger.com/profile/07719757386457800087noreply@blogger.com
