This is a bit all over the place since it was an impromptu recording, but I've decided to challenge myself to finish a brand-new copy of Ivy and the Inky Butterfly by Christmas-ish 2021. Join me as I color most of the nameplate, talk about nothing in particular, and wonder what on earth I'm doing.
Please be sure to comment with your suggestions for the butterfly colors, too! They'll be consistent throughout the book, so I need something good! HELP!

@janemcdaid-ashburner2408 4 жыл бұрын

I vote for purple, pink and green on the butterfly. Dark purple with red undertone, mid tone pink and bright light green. That will tie in the purples and greens in the flowers and pink to set it off as the focal point. Just my thoughts. It's absolutely beautiful!

Put as much of the Ivy book on videos as you please. If I color along with you, I’d have a chance of finishing the Ivy book as well. Welcome back. I’d given up on you and hadn’t looked in lately because whenever I check on your channel: , bupkis. With such a shock I did finally look in to find you have been making videos since May? Yay!

Really nice combo of greens . Your picture looks very pretty. Thanks so much for the video!

@patriciamoore7414 4 жыл бұрын

I suggest Purple, yellow, and pink for the butterfly...blends of dark to light...even though the spaces are small, you can use at least 2bshades. Or you can use blues, yellow, and pink.... purples, blues, and pink For a more neutral look, mute the colors with Greys. So had to choose....what about leaving the butterflies until the end and coloring them once you see the combinations you used throughout the book?

It is so awesome that you are back and making videos again Erin!! I hope you and your family are all doing well. I am planning to get these pencils this year. My besties all have them and rave about how much they love them. I do have the supracolours and I've been playing around with those dry too but I want the Pablo's lol

I have both the Supracolor and the Albrecht Durer on my wishlist. Hopefully one or the other will be my next high-quality set. I've finally gotten to where I can have some fun with my small set of Inktense. :D

More like underrated. Remember, the Luminance and Holbein cost more and you constantly see people use those (at least I do, although not as often as Polychromos and especially Prismacolor).

Hi! I am so thankful 8 found your podcast. You are so down to earth and just say things like they are. I am looking forward to watching you working on this book and I will definitely be getting the book as well. I have 3 of Johanna 's books and one more in my Amazon cart. I might add this book as well. As far as the butterfly goes...I'm a purple/pink person also so I would use those and possibly add gold too. Take care and may God bless you always.

Love the yellow and purple idea! Going to wait for some other suggestions and see if I get any. I figure if I color a page in all pinks and keep the butterfly the only thing that's a different color, that's okay because the butterfly *is* the star of the show. :D Thank you!!

Oh, finally someone who has Pablos. Please could you tell me if Pablos like then paper in Ivy and Inky? They are a kind of pencil that just wouldn't work on insipid paper, and I'm trying to work out which colouring books I should get to enjoy colouring with Pablos in them.

Well hello Erin! A TREAT! Have been looking @ Pablos. And YES PLS, wld love to see U swatch Pablos! I assume ideally one wld acquire the largest set? / I started w/ 12 set Polychromos. That’s a very nice set, perfect for learning that pencil. But now that I’ve got more experience, we’ll those Pablos! / Nearly complete in a mandala - colors are greens, turquoise & blues. A lot like your beautiful leaves here. TY for this video. Yippee! Butterflies - pinks w/ yellows, 1 purple. 🐶🤓

I'd say start with an open stock trio in your favorite colors. If you find yourself reaching for those pencils when you want those colors, then there's a good chance it will be a good investment for you. Thanks so much!

I am glad to see you back, Erin. I am curious how you think the Pablos compare to FC Polychromos? Are they similar in feel, and are the colors quite the same between the two lines? I am always looking for new greens to supplement my Polychromos set, and it looks like the Pablos have some unique greens, but it is always a little hard to tell on camera. Thank you !

@SimpleArtforAdults 4 жыл бұрын

I think they're completely different. Pablos are oily, but they're also softer than Polychromos, and the colors are not the same. If I remember I can compare the swatches on a video soon.

The butterfly that I'm doing is a dark blue indigo body and then the wings are purple fading into orange and then yellow - I could email you a picture if you want?
