The Make it Crafty Design Team have been playing around with "white mist" this week - a great technique for those upcoming Halloween projects!
All of the Design Team Misty masterpieces can be seen over at the
Make It Crafty Gallery HERE
Having never attempted something like this before I decided to take a photograph before and after:
To colour these goggles normally was a challenge, I can see I've missed a couple of shadows, but on a whole I am quite pleased with them. Then came the scary part - adding mist. I decided to add rather than attempt to incorporate mist whilst colouring as my chosen image was so detailed to begin with.
In order to ensure I was going to create realistic mist I googled for images and found that it hangs in and around objects in wisps rather than fog which covers more densly.
Here is the misty version:
I did try initially creating mist with my Caran D'Ache pencils but found it just didn't give the wispy appearance I was after, so I erased it and went with option two, Chalk ink. This I applied with a cotton bud, adding layers of ink until I was happy with the density.
To get the mist to drift in and around the goggles I masked parts of them and the leaves enabling me to blob on the ink in the right areas - I am pretty pleased with the result - what do you think?

It's not surprising that I got through alot of Copic colours on this one:
Now come on, it's your turn to have a go - I really cannot wait to see how you guys interpret this challenge - please post your entries HERE
And don't forget we are having a Make it Crafty Blog Hop starting 27 September (Zoe's Birthday) and I'll be your first port of call - so mark your diaries.
