Christmas ColorOff/My Cat Tea Party!

This is my version of our Christmas ColorOff page!  Used Prismacolor and Copic Sketch markers.  Really enjoyed coloring with Furious and hope we can all set some more ColorOffs up because it's very interesting to see different takes on the same page.  :my_smile::cat:

I love it.   I am glad to see we had the same idea on the arch area.  I sat and looked at that forever trying to figure out how it worked with the rest of the walls.

I think you sorted out the bottom much better than I did and you used orchid (I slightly hate you for having that color lol)

I like the pink on your white/pink/purple kitty.

Great job.  This was so much fun!

I know, I know!  I have Orchid and now I'm in terror of it going dry because it's out of stock with no date as to when it will be back. I LOVE Orchid!  Wish I'd bought several of them.  Am so glad you like my version of our Christmas Cat Tea Party. Definitely had the same ideas regarding the arch.  I had to stop and look at this page much more than any other page I've done due to the intricate design...that bottom part with the stuff around the cat was confusing.  I think both our choices of how to color it look good. Knowing you were coloring the same page with me made it even more fun and exciting!   :my_smile:

I had a lot of fun.  I did a little of "how would @Tikobaby color this" with the plates and cups because I was really struggling on how to keep them realistic.   I finally realized they don't HAVE to be realistic and would still look nice and then it was super easy for me to finish up the page.

I sat staring at it for so long trying to figure stuff out once I was down to just the cupcakes/plates/cups.  

I actually got out a different page and started coloring it to just give my brain a rest from the cat page because I was just staring at it and not actually getting anything done.  That helped me a lot.  I just picked one of the random pattern pages and worked on that a bit and then when I went back to the cats, things went much better.

I can't wait to do another one.  Maybe we can make it a monthly thing and eventually other people can join us.

I stared most at the bottom right hand  of the page and spent time deciding whether the round spotted thing we consulted about was the cat or whether the cat was behind the round thing. Finally went with the cat being behind it and the cat's tail mostly hidden except for the curving part.  I rested from the cat page by drawing...two cats!  Crazy, right?  Now I'm trying to draw a hedgie to color, 

I would love to do another ColorOff with you and if anyone else has some of the same books, it would be fun to see the results from a group of FJ Colorists working on the same page!  

Did you notice my salt and pepper shakers?  :my_shy:
