Can you believe that Christmas Eve is a week from today??
I know some excited little ones that are waiting for Santa!
Our houses are decorated and their stockings are hung~
Lots of holiday merriment has already begun!
First a pencil sketch starting with stones
Ink over the pencil and then erase
You can download this free printable here
if you want to color along
I colored this with markers
I have a set of 121 Caliart markers that I just love
I started with a light gray on the stones
and then darker gray where the shadows would be
The stockings were colored with 3 shades of red,
dark on the back, light on the front
Medium red in the middle
Small strokes of gray on the stocking cuffs
indicate fluffy white fur
Next the fire comes to life
with yellow, orange, and red
Black filled in around the fire really makes it pop
and adds a little depth
If you leave a white space near the top of the ornaments
you create a highlight indicating shine
Now for the evergreen garland on the mantel
Short green strokes indicating branches
To finish I added dots with one of my favorite
Have some coloring fun while you’re waiting for Santa!
Be Fearless!
