A pencil sketch of an imagined fairy tale

Liesel worried about the wood

Champion, her deerhound, made her feel safe, however there was a rustling that made one aware of the depth of this forest.

There was a snort, like a wild pig, but more of a muffled snuffling.

From the rustling and the snuffling came Heinrich

Hardly a goblin or spectre, rather just an impish French bulldog who fancied himself a truffle pig.

Heinrich's search for treats in wood and field often had him spring up like a spectre

The adventure for spectres, gobelins, and rustling, snorts, and muffled snuffling could now continue, of course, but with the aid of their new chum, Heinrich.

I love to scan my rough pencil sketches
to prepare them for digital work. I often, before even more definitive inking/outlines or improving line or form eg. like to just fill in sections with blocks of colour.

It not only helps me to try out and consider a color story for a painting/piece of art/illustration but it's just fun. I suppose it's rather like coloring pages or coloring books.

Outlining and filling my rough sketchy lines is fun
and in this case I just used photoshop, after scanning my sketch, and darkened the line and then used the magnetic tool to outline bits and bobs I wanted to highlight.

I gave the overall color a simple scare of green behind the other layers (I do love layers) and felt it was rather affective.

Sometimes in play we discover new joys
and so when I mess about like this with my art in various stages I often come upon 'studies' that I love as is. And I have to say, for me at least, I rather like this primitive coloring in of this sketch, so I just might make this one a 'finished' piece, who can say.

I've said many times we Artist's are lucky in our allowance of changeable attitudes
"Chop and change, chop and change" might be said about such indecisive folk in shop keepers or book keepers, but in Artist's it's expected.

So, for now, I'm going to call this fun coloring book exercise a finished piece, tho I know I will still make more out of it in another iteration. This, also, extolls the virtues of the magic of the digital world for the artist.

Do you, if an artist or photographer or any visual artist, find that the various tools of tech give you more fun things in the toolbox to play with? Does it aid your work and inspiration or does it impede? I'd love to know.

I hope all of you find a moment in your day to indulge in your passions and as always, stay creative.

Wow.. this is so beautifully made:)

Thank you so much @manisha.jain9

Ah. Super cute. Is she an actual child or a garden gnome come to life? Does she even know!?

Do ANY of us know haha...about ourselves I mean ;)

nope. you get me ;)

It looks those beautiful dogs are living a lot of adventures, great! ❤️❤️❤️

I've been missing my dogs so thus I draw a lot of them :) Thanks for stopping by @silviabeneforti

And a nisse! Definitly a nisse.

Thank you for this @katharsisdrill as seeing the description I saw that in the English version of Christian Anderson, which I grew up on as child , "the Goblin at the grocers" was actually translated to 'goblin' from 'nisse' I love that. Now I'm going to end up down a rabbit hole in my old childhood books. It's just getting cloudy now and we've a promise of snow so it's the perfect time to go up in the attics and have a good rummage about and get my old books out...I'm feeling an 'anderson' series of drawings coming on now :)

I love the tangients and shared creativity of Hive sometimes.

Me too...Hive/Steemit really is a place where I have learned and talked and found ideas.

As for the nisse, if you can get your hands on it I would recommend the beautiful children's book, which in English is called The Wonderful Adventures of Nils. It is written by the Swedish author, Selma Lagerlöf. It features a Nisse (or as they also call them in Sweden - tomte).

Wonderful piece of art.

Thank you so much @anissignature

The people doing V2K want me to believe it is this lady @battleaxe Investigate what she has been up to for 5 years. Its the next step to stopping this. Make her prove where she has been for 5 years or where she is now. She is involved deeply with @fyrstikken and his group. I cant say she is the one directly doing the v2k. Make her prove it. They have tried to kill me and are still trying to kill me. I bet nobody does anything at all. Make @battleaxe prove it. I bet she wont. They want me to believe the v2k in me is being broadcasted from her location. @battleaxe what is your location? https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism
