Joanna Basford Owl

This little dude was in a postcard book. Hard as heck to do. I will likely not do anymore from that. It needs like .1mm to do successfully.

I am amazed! I get really frustrated with the post card ones. This is beautiful! The colors you chose are nice, too. I stared at an owl page last night, but I got stressed out about which  colors to choose!

Thank you. The leaves were insane. Trying to make a variety of leaves. In leaf colors. Good god. Like I said, I don't know how anyone could realistically do the other ones. Gellys are .6mm and .8mm mostly. The .8 are too fat. .6 is pushing it. I'd love to try doing something with .2 or .3...but I think my eyes would permanently cross.

I did this one from the Artist's Edition, in markers though.  I haven't tried the postcards yet. Your picture looks beautiful!  I love that you did the background and the owl colours are gorgeous!  I get really, really tired of the leaves in these books and keep skipping over pages for that reason. Very nice work!!

Well you did a great job and now I'm off to take the post cards off my wishlist because that sounds like way too much frustration for me to enjoy doing them.  I really like the pink/blue combo you have on the owl.  Is it a turquoise or a real blue?   I like to try out color combos people post.  I can never get mine to look as good as I think other people's do though :)

I believe it is called midnight blue.. which is somewhat misleading since it's in a batch of rather electric/neon shades. It scanned and color corrected pretty close to what actually happened on the page.

Also @Fascinated Thank you. The background just had to be done. It was the easiest part of the whole thing. I also seem to have a thing for night scenes. On apps, in books... photo taking.

      It’s like people working for Trump complaining when he acts like Trump. 😂

      Wouldn’t it be nice if she actually told her readers how this works in her house

      Well, she didn’t say each child gets to do all the activities. They could all be in church groups and home school co-op (no individual activities, so easy to coordinate), music lessons could well be with a teacher coming into their home, then one kid doing a sport, one kid in choir, “social events” could be anything that only happens once a year - and voilà, she wouldn’t have technically lied in her post, but makes it sound a lot more than it actually is for each individual child.

      Jeremy's pants are defrauding me, and not in a good way.

      He needs to size up.

      Jinger and Jeremy attended a screening of Candace Cameron's movie that's coming out next Friday. It's called Unsung Hero.
