Description For 's Coloring Book contest!  Held every year, I wanted to do something to celebrate this yearly tradition.  And for my first piece: I had to do Ralph!

I tried did my best to base this piece off of Johannes Vermeer's work.  I looked up his paintings and found that his paintings used a lot of blue, red, and yellow pigment colors that stood out from the rest of the painting.  I thought that I should use those bright colors to show how he used them (though unfortunately I don't think I might have gotten my point across.  I tried to make it like his paintings, but it just seems...wrong to me).  
I had gotten this coloring page from this site(though I actually had this on my laptop before the contest started, but did not color it) : www.coloring-book.info/colorin…

Well, I hope you guys like it (and hopefully is somewhat accurate )

I think the background change truly pays to the final result. The dark colors concur to bring it really close to the artist's style, maybe a little less saturation would make it even closer.
Anyway, it rocks!

It's wonderful.  The colors and shading are great. It's tough to copy another artist, but I think you did a good job.

You did very well with the blue lighting and think you definitely nailed that aspect of Vermeer. I also like that you created a digital interpretation of his "expensive" pigments. Good job!

Wow thank you so much!  I'm glad that I got the aspect of Vermeer across (I was a bit worried I didn't ).  I didn't realize that I digitally interpreted his pigments as well, awesome!

Really nice. You made Ralph look so triumphant. I don't know why, but the sky is my favorite part of this.

I like the bright colors, I think they were a great choice for a character like Ralph.  The shading you did also helps to give it a special touch instead of being just flats.

Ah thank you so much, I'm glad you like it.  I did my best with the shading with the art skills I have, and I'm glad they turned out well.
