Because MB requested it! Here’s the colorable version of the Tiny Tine drawing I posted back in April (https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/posts\/sketchbook-its-18157908)<\/a> . By all means ignore my rough splashing of color here! Maybe I should just post the black and white… Hm.\u00a0<\/p>\n

My apologies for being late with these this month. I’m catching up on everything <\/em>again. (In mid summer that was medical stuff; this time it was because my amazing mom took my daughter and me to Greenland.)<\/p>\n

As always, holler if you have any trouble downloading or with the files!\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Extra Musings because that’s what I do…\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is possible that I may someday use a different method to create colorables. At the moment, they way I do it preserves some of my varying ink line sketchiness (especially with the Tiny Tin series). What do you think? I know of one artist who uses a a Wacom (or similar) tablet and digital pen to trace her own paintings, in an outline way. These come out beautifully; her lines are smooth and consistent, more like a traditional coloring book. I don’t have those particular tools, so I use other features of (old versions of) Adobe \u00a0Photoshop and Illustrator. I could do a lot more on computer processing than I do to make the line weights less sketchy. But should I? When and for what reasons would that be a good plan?<\/p>\n

Your advice is welcome!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
