More map tangling, with a combination of blues and reds. I've been creating bijou cards from all of my step outs the last few months, and finished the "H" tangles this weekend - so Crazy Huggins, Hurry, and Hollis all made an appearance here.
My process has become:
- Create the color area using liquid water colors.
- Tangle over it. Always tangle to the edge of the color.
- Continue embellishing with ink.
- First pass shading using Derwent Drawing pencils in appropriate colors.
- Use a black colored pencil to darken the corners and overlaps.
- Highlights using jelly roll or acrylic pen.
The color area becomes my "tile", and whatever primary tangle I choose becomes the string. They're very dramatic, but I definitely lose some composition opportunities. Still enjoy the process, though!
