Lotus-Born Happy Humpback Whales

 I'm sharing a pencil coloring I've completed today!

The title will be self-explanatory when you view the pages below.

I'm so very intrigued with this artist's imagination!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE whales 

and am very concerned for their plight from Japanese whalers.  

It really saddens me. 

This is the very first time that I've used Prismacolor colored pencils!

They feel like 'silk' as they glide along the page.

I watched several online videos from different artists

and learned a few techniques, like blending and shading. 

I'm completely AMAZED at what colorless blending pencils can do!

They turn an otherwise streaky pencil coloring 

into a smooth 'painting'!

WOW!

I really LOVE this new-found LOVE!

Now, let's look at some really close ups

and let me share my thoughts with you.

I decided that the 'unborn' whales would be swimming 

in luscious purple colored water with aqua bubbles.

Some of the bubbles were given 'reflection' by using a white gel pen.

The gorgeous lotus flowers are colored in 

three blended-together shades of purple.

Look closely at the explosion of water.

I made sure that purple water turned into aqua water. 

I just LOVE the tiny baby whales emerging from the water.

I thought that this 'surprise', in one of the lilies, was a tin can, 

to symbolize trash in our oceans. 

However, I recently learned that it turns out to be an

 "Egyptian God" on a piece of stone! LOL

I really enjoyed shading the lily pads in two different greens.

Why color a frog green when you can color it red instead?

Thanks for stopping by and viewing my pencil coloring!

Have a great day,
