wk 49 - Two colours Inspiration

Hi everyone and welcome back to another Graph'It Colouring challenge!

Our challenge again this week is

TWO COLOURS

Now this can be ANY two colours and to make it a bit easier you can use other tones too, but the primary colours in your project should be a double combo, ie pink and white, blue and white etc....

We were a little mean to the team and we have made them use only 

BLUE AND GREEN 

to dispel the myth that 'Blue and Green should never be seen'....I have no idea where that comes from but it's so wrong because it's a fabulous combination and works really well!

Remember you don't HAVE to use Graph'It markers to enter our challenges, just follow our simple rules in the sidebar and you could be our Random Prize winner to receive a set of markers! 

You have until Fri 12th December to enter at noon. 

We will choose a Random winner to receive a set of Graph'It markers worth £10 and the design team will choose our Top 3 favourites!

wk 44 - Graph'It Colouring Crazy Challenge - Water/Ice & Blue/Purple

Welcome back to another Colour Crazy Challenge here at Graph'It!
WOW, do we have some amazing makes for you this week!!...

Before we get to the challenge, first of all we have to give you a sneaky peek of something new which is about to hit the shelves here in the UK

Nikky has been keeping this a secret for about a year now but she has been creating some special colours for Graph'It which are now available in this special 'Character Crafting' set which is launching right now and about to hit the shelves and into your GI bags!

Nikky wanted to have some extra pastel shades which would fit within the current range - as crafters we tend to colour in more pastel tones than the Manga and Comic Artists who love their Graph'It markers so she has been working with Graph'It for the last year to bring you these special colours which she mixed herself....

The new colours into the range are Melonball, Bubblegum, Glass, Citrus, Pastel Green and Jade....6 fabulous colours which can all be found in this special Character set (but don't worry, the other colours in this set are ones you will use a lot so don't worry about duplicates, it's still worth buying the set as it'll give you those extra skin and hair colours anyway!).

Aren't these great? And they fill some gaps in the current colour chart which we've been waiting for ages! Melonball now completes the peachy tones, Bubblegum provides a great pastel to blend into 5140 and 5160 giving some really nice rose options, Glass is the perfect pastel blue and the 3 greens now mean we can get much softer foliage and landscape tones, not to mention lovely soft greens for clothing options! 

Right, let's get to the Challenge!
This week we challenged the team to show us
Water/Ice or Blue/Purple Tones

This one made some of them very scared but it doesnt have to be - it can be blue/purple tones for Winter/Xmas, rain, Glass, water, snow - there are lots of possibilities! 

So we just want to see your makes which cover any of these options or something else you might have up your sleeves! 

You have until 14th November to enter this challenge and the winner will receive some Graph'It goodies to play with - just please follow our simple rules to enter. You DO NOT NEED TO USE GRAPH'IT to enter - we accept entries from any alochol medium and you can also use pencils and distress inks to enter too! 

We will announce the winner of the last challenge next week, but let's see what the team have made!.....

Our challenge for you again this week is

Extra FX

This challenge basically translates as some extra little colouring effects we want you to show us! This can be spotty effects, textures, backgrounds, fancy schmancy - the result is up to you! 

You have until Oct 31st at noon GMT to enter and you can use any brand of alcohol marker to enter - our random winner will receive a pack of Graph'Its and the DT will choose their Top 3!

You can see the winners of our last challenge at the bottom of this post but let's see what the team have made this week!

Nikky...I love making backgrounds and little scenes for my characters when I colour, it can really lift a project and because it's something you do yourself it makes your character or image totally unique which is just fab! 

I decided to actually go really easy peasy but show you a cool background which can really change your images quite dramatically and this is my new fave at the mo...just add colours onto the Mix'It palette and pick up the colour with a blender brush and apply, working from a smallish dot and then extending the colour outwards as you work in a circle...you might find it looks a little bleachy and mottled but once you've blended the edges of the circles to make them really soft, go back and add more colour into the centre and it will look perfect! Depending on what colours you use and how daring you want to be is up to you, have a play and experiment! I used this Octavia image which you can get here.

I really enjoyed this challenge I had such fun making my background, The image I have used is from Polkadoodles Festive Hollybobs Cd Rom I printed the image twice so that I could cut one out to use as a mask, I created my background by roughly colouring the the whole area with 9101,9102 & 9500, I then masked my image and sprayed some Mix it fluid, I then used the blender pen to remove some colour and give a snowing effect, I also added some Silver glitter pen spots, after it dried off I coloured the image and then added a little frantage to bring the snow effect over my image. I hope you like it.

one a man's version

and a girly version

I've used a mixed variety of colours that just go together and the blending fluid spray.

Such fabulous ideas on how to create some great effects again this week!
