Fearless Friday, Candy Cane Party

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?”
Juicy Details
Supplies:
Tombow and Ohuhu markers
0.4 waterproof liner pen
white gel pen for stripes on red bow
mixed media sketch pad

Jenna, candy canes always look so festive. I thought about how much I loved coloring as a child, I always outlined and then filled in. Such a cute idea, my talented friend!

Love the vibrant colors and patterns of your candy canes Jenna! We had a cold 5 inches of rain and it felt like it could be snowing. We’d still be shoveling it if that were the case 🙂
