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

Happy Creating, Be Fearless!

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 🙂
