:x I don't know what color to make her dress. The wings are gonna match her hair, and i think if I made it the same light/med/dark blue it wouldn't look as cool with the decorated bits on top

oh I just noticed i missed a lock of hair :eek:
A blue ombré would look pretty with her hair. Or perhaps something purpley.

I know I said I was gonna make the wings and hair the same color but I changed my mind. I was also going to color the remaining gray into black, but my mom said not to. I ended up testing it with a sheet protector and a marker and mom was right.

I actually kind of liked the outside being black, but wasn't sure what color I'd make the inside of the dragon circle, so just left it all gray.

my June calendar. I usually don't like stuff like this but my niece covered me in stickers and I figured I might as well put them to good use. It's actually one of my favorites so far now lol. Once again, my eraser smeared my new pens. So if anyone wants to recommend a good eraser that won't smear pens, feel free!

I should also probably blur the stuff on here but I don't feel like it so oh well.
edit: I traced 'June' from a font editor and I still can't draw a not-wobbly line. :(

It's cute! That pink and purple go well togther.

The plastic eraser that came with this https://www.amazon.com/Prismacolor-Premier-Colored-Accessory-Blenders/dp/B000OKZYJ8 works really well and doesn't smear the ink when I use it. You can probably find it on its own, that's just the set I bought that it came with. I did not like the mushy eraser that came with it.

Not sure my idea for snow translated well to the picture. Looks cool irl though. (Annoying as heck to color white gel pen on white paper and not lose your spot if you look away)
I see the shimmer on the right side and love it! Did you put the gel pen on top of pencil?

Nope, just straight on the paper! I've been meaning to fiddle with putting gel pen on pencil but havent yet.

I used pencils for most everything except the gray and blue under the trees which were marker, and the balloon and snow which were gel pen.

:D I'm just glad I finally found a use for a white sparkly gel pen since I'm seriously lacking black journals to use them in.

Don't feel dumb!! ♥ I thought the same thing when I was googling other people coloring these pictures (before I found out about the grayscale versions)
