Here is the latest of the Mehndi designs I have completed. I've been experimenting with different pens, markers, and colored pencils in an ongoing effort to determine which medium I like working with best. This was done with a very cheap set of colored pencils...if you couldn't tell.
I like to take pictures along the way to chart progress and show the method to my madness when applying different colors...there really isn't one, I just throw things together and hope for the best...I wish that were the case...I actually do try to express as much contrast and shading as possible.
I'm actually more impressed with the piece I am currently working on. I started it with the same cheap colored pencils as this one, just to see I needed to "break them in" a bit first. When that didn't pan out, I ran out and bought a much better set of colored pencils to complete it with...and the colors on that one really pop, so I think I'll continue using those brand name products over the generic cost sucking kind from here on out.
It's not that this turned out so terrible I didn't want to share it...but I did like this design and sure wish I would've switched colored pencils a few posts ago. Anyhow, I didn't receive a single comment on starting a contest with these things in the post I shared yesterday so I guess we'll just shelve that idea for the time being...maybe we'll revisit it again in the future...who knows.
