Description This is my entry for a contest run by my group called amateurartistarmy.deviantart.c… . ^^

The contest rules state that I have to use these three main colors in a drawing, (okay, five colors if you include black and white, those are exceptions) Green Blue and Pink. That's it. I wanted to give it a try, so I drew a frog with a doodley background. :3  You may not know this about me, but I really like to draw interesting patterns like these, 'Zentangles', I guess it's called. When in doubt of what to do for background, I tend to just let it flow, and see what happens in the end.   I also loved experimenting with the mixed media. That was a lot of fun, and I think i'll try it some more.

This is Mixed media, I used a Sharpie pen for the black outline, colored pencil, colored marker, and for the last little touches, I used a bit of white and Lime green paint as the splatters in the background, and the white paint for little bit of highlighting, mostly in the eye.
There's a lot to look at in this picture. What's your favorite part about this drawing?   In the scanned version of it, i'm really attracted to the eye, and the frogs feet on the branch. But, in my real version, (It's a lot more vibrant, for starters. Scans love to suck the life and color out of my drawings :[ )
I love the splatters in the top left corner of the drawing, and the big blue paisley. The one thing I don't like about this drawing, however, are the bi white circles that connect to the big paisleys. They just look odd to me, and I wish I hadn't put them there.

One more thing before I leave. If you want to check out this contest, go to my group, amateurartistarmy.deviantart.c… . The contest is pretty fun.  Here's a link to the journal for the contest. Everything is explained there, but if you have any questions, i'm sure the admins can help you out.
(You don't have to join the group to enter, apparently)

They got cool prizes as well, and if you're looking for something fun and challenging to do, I recommend you give it a try.
(P.S. I hided a little face somewhere in the drawing. See if you can find it. )

Fantastic work! I love the elaboration you made from the original sketch of the leaves, your line work (especially separating and blending color with lines) is phenomenal! The froggeh looks so cute and expressive  
Have you used any editing programs to keep the quality of your work up-to-par after scanning? GIMP, Photoshop, and Creative Cloud are great programs for recovering detail and upping the vibrancy and hues of your colors!

You're very welcome, my friend!
You should try it out! It's pretty simple (especially just color enhancement/detail toning), there are a bunch of free programs online

I probably will in time. ^^   It feels so foreign to me, and slightly scary, but I guess I won't know anything until I try. ^^
