Description Colouring contest entry here
Was actually a lot of fun colouring in for a change - hadn`t done that since the kids were little...
As you can tell just had to have my usual touches - crazy composition eyes and a paisley frame...

Hope I've done it some justice and not incur the wrath of Pharaohs Curse, the original artist!

The paisley frame is really for as I know he REALLY likes paisley monsters...

MUMMY`S HEAD LINEWORK from Pharaoh`s Curse which I`ve coloured in with Derwent softcolour pencils and Prismacolor markers...
Frame drawn freehand with Staedtler pens - 0.7 and 0.5 on a watercolour background.
Really doesn`t work scanning these mediums as colours don`t come out well on everything at once!

Original size is A3

Created December 2006

Did consider actually have paisley designs on bandages but decided that would just be silly...
...So much easier to a huge border framing it

you did a good job, at least its different to the rest, they're all getting too samie doncha think?!

Quaddles-Roost In reply to zamoth [2006-12-22 08:58:31 +0000 UTC]

They do appear to be all rather similar now - guess they`ll be a few more like your second entry soon (like that the best, next to mine of course ) Cannot see anyone mad enough to copy and draw my paisley framing though
Reckon traditional artists would be put off as looks like only digital entries...
Must admit I wouldn`t have done it all, if hadn`t considered paisley monsters through you - yep all your fault

How long does each of these take you. You seem to put a great amount of detail into your abstract work.

I did the mummy`s head quickly not sure how long less than the film I was half-watching at the time cos did some other doodles at same time...
The frame took a few days but didn`t do it all in one go as got fed up with it several times...

Wow! Very nice indeed! Do I see little animal heads inside the skull's eyes? Or am I just imagining things? AND ITS GREEN!!!

Quaddles-Roost In reply to Smilie-Grim-Reaper [2006-12-21 18:33:33 +0000 UTC]

Yep there`s a touch of my composition madness in the eyes...
CAN YOU FIND THESE:
Actually three or four skulls,
squidor octopus creature,
worm,
masks,
fan,
spanner,
two churches,
daisy,
spectacles,
even a pair of boobs
Then there`s all the little fiddly balls and random other things I put in too...
Now I look it is pretty intricate

Smilie-Grim-Reaper In reply to Quaddles-Roost [2006-12-21 19:05:30 +0000 UTC]

I found everything except the spectacles! At least this kept me occupied for a while.

This is awesome,did you just to the colouring and the border or all of it?
your comment confused me.

Quaddles-Roost In reply to The-Atomic-Mr-B [2006-12-21 18:19:01 +0000 UTC]

The Mummy`s Head was line-art (you can see it if you follow the link) this I coloured in
then mounted on one of my own watercoloured bases which I drew the paisley framing around. Hope that makes sense now?

The-Atomic-Mr-B In reply to Quaddles-Roost [2006-12-21 19:41:41 +0000 UTC]

Much more sense!
Have you heard of Dia de los muertos? cause if you did one based on it I bet it'd look awesome!

Thats okay I`ll look at my description after replying to an explosion of messages to read...
Yep - Day of the Dead - aha watching Thornberries with kids pays off... obviously picked up a bit of mexican lingo...
That might be rather cool adds to list of things to do...
