Question Posted Thursday September 29 2005, 1:21 am
Odd question, but an opinion would be nice if you have one to offer.
I'm 18, my boyfriend near 20. He recently moved into his own apartment (instead of doing the whole roommate thing). He insists he needs artwork for his new place. I suggest we scan some art galleries and art shops for some nice pieces, but he says he REALLY wants me to color him a picture (using crayons and a coloring book). Perhaps it might sound a bit immature, but I truly don't see it that way. I just find it to be a thoughtful and innocent way of showing some affection. Can you place yourself in my shoes there and make sense of that??
Anyhow, so I'm doing what he wants. I have a coloring book and colored pencils. If this is any help... it's a squirrel (which takes up the entire page), and he's holding a large peanut. Now, my question is this: when coloring a coloring book with COLORED PENCILS, do you think it's best to GO OVER the lines to make them stand out more, or should I just color them as is, and not bring out the lines?
Sorry to be so random. It's just been so long since I've colored.. I might have forgotten 'how to', if that makes sense?
Anyway.. as for the coloring? Ah. Personally I'd go over the lines making them darker and stand out more. I'm not really an artsy person so I can't offer much on the subject. [ EvilCheshire's advice column | Ask EvilCheshire A Question ]
