Your shading is so smooth. Do you use a "smoodger" as I've heard it called?
ReplyDeleteYes. It is made of tightly wound paper the shape of a pencil. It is called a Paper Stump, and it is available in varies sizes. It works best with 4B or softer pencils.
DeleteAwesome. After the week I've had I deserve a new toy even if it's a tightly wound paper stump. I think the softest pencil I have is a 2B, so I'll have to add a 4B/5B to the list. It will be fun to play with the results.
DeleteI use a 2B and a 4B. A 5B would be interesting to experiment with. When working with small areas to shade, take care on how much graphite you lay down, as too much will spread a long way and it will be easy to cover areas you wish to leave as a highlight. Practice and you'll love the results. Good Luck, and have fun.
DeleteI like the flow and design of your tile - lots of movement.
ReplyDeleteA really beautiful tile, I like the open atmosphere, the movement and colours. And the round shapes are always my favorite!
ReplyDeleteGreat job providing depth to your tile with shadowing. You've used some tangles that are new for me too. Nice.
ReplyDeleteA great tile, David. I love the movement in it.
ReplyDeleteYour colouring and shading on the red and white stripey one - don't know the name- are excellent. I like your slightly off the wall approach and this is very pleasing to the eye. I've never seen Girlande so neatly done and am slightly envious.
ReplyDeleteVery nice tile, David! I like the shading and your use of colours.
ReplyDeleteLove this! Great job, David!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dynamic tile. I like it.
ReplyDeleteI like how you used auras in this tile. The colors are nice too.
ReplyDeleteA very surprising and interesting tile. The shading, as pointed out above is really great and the colours bring a nice "peps" (we'd say in French), zing in zentangle language I think. Very neat work, love it!
ReplyDeleteI love your tile, you've done an amazing shading
ReplyDeleteLovely tile, David. Great movement; and beautiful shading.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lively, lovely tile! It's so playful.
ReplyDeleteNice work! I like the way you've created auras around some of the main images and then shaded. Clever!
ReplyDeleteLike your tile. I like the way you did Linq and Bilt on a curve is great.
ReplyDeleteI love this style that seems very unique to you, David - open, very 'simplistic' yet beautifully executed - and extremely playful and fun! Axxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tile David! Love the depth you get with your shading. and the touches of color.
ReplyDeleteEine wunderschöne Arbeit, so exakt gezeichnet! Das Design verspielt und doch klar!
ReplyDeleteWonderful tile with a lot of movement! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThis is nice. I like the spots of color throughout, and your girlande is terrific. I used the same pattern in my tangle, and it seemed clunky to me but your is real nice and light. I also love the dark curli cues :) lovely!
ReplyDeleteClearly thoughtful. David your aura treatment is very effective.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful tile - it reflects much planning and was wonderfully executed. Your sense of design and balance is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI realy see the fun and the enjoyment in your tile. Beatiful and elegant!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice design! Like a banner in the breeze!
ReplyDeleteAs always, it's a pleasure to see your work. It is bursting with originality and playfulness. Anf you've actually made me like Linq.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, alive tile. The movement and colors in this tile are fabulous. I don't think I've ever used Linq or This and That. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteYour tile is full of motion, and I love how the patterns relate to each other. Beautiful touches of color (as usual). "less is more"...
