When I finished the ink drawing it didn't look like much and I had the feeling that this was one where the shading would make a BIG difference. Was I right? :)

Zendala dare #10
I haven't done one of these dares for a few weeks, although I have some templates sitting ready. This one was done on a blank Zendala tile in an interesting color of ink, a deep red/brown that I think would be called Oxblood. A Tuscan Red Prismacolor pencil did well for the shading.

Isn't it amazing how much shading can add to a drawing? Love it!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!! Thanks for posting the before and after shots of the tile. It's very helpful for me to see where and how to shade. I liked how you made it circular. :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! There are so many times that I think something I've done is okay, and then I shade it and it makes all the difference. Your three pictures show how shading can really make a piece amazing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great zendala! Thanks for showing the before and after, too. The before is nice, but a little busy and hard to sort out. The shading makes it a real wowsa!
ReplyDeleteYour zendala design was great and the shading really made it pop!
ReplyDeletewow! the shading just breathed life into your tile! thanks for posting both so i could see the difference. i still struggle with shading, knowing what to shade and what to leave alone. this is a wonderful example for me to study!
ReplyDeleteLove the color and the shading - glad you posted the before and after - always amazes me the difference shading makes.
