Guess what?
It snowed Wednesday night!
In Alabama
In November!!!!
😱
I’m a little freaked out…
Let’s think about something happy…
Like a Candy Cane Party! 🍭
I know we’ve all got turkey on our minds, but it doesn’t hurt to anticipate the December holidays!
Simple candy cane shapes in pencil, with the help of a ruler
I started with the top candy cane then added more helter skelter underneath
I added stripes and holly, just making it up as I went
More stripes and details
Now for the colors! I chose 3 shades of green, 3 shades of red and 2 shades of pink, and made a small color swatch palette on the edge of the paper for reference
For the first candy cane I did the colors first
and then cleaned up the edges with a black outline
But from then on I did the outline first and then filled in the color, which is more comfortable for me
As I completed the outlines, I erased the pencil
I chose the colors as I went, keeping the drawing balanced, a little red here, a little green there…
And before I knew it, it was done!
Who can resist a “Candy Cane Party?”
