Coloring Pages for New Curriculum

Here's the first couple finished coloring pages for a new curriculum that I am contributing toward. Can you spot the difference in versions one and two of Lesson One's coloring page?

Artist Notes - First hand sketched with 2B Kimberly pencils, then overlaid on my light table for inking. For the inking I used Faber Castell pitt artist pen Medium. Afterward, I scanned the inked sketch into the computer where I imported it into CorelDraw for tracing and final clean-up. Then I exported them as PNG files to be used in the new curriculum.

Coloring Page Sketchwork for New Curriculum

Here's a serpent for the garden of Eden that I thought turned out pretty good. This is for some coloring sheets I am making for a new curriculum I am contributing toward.

The First Print of My New Curriculum Arrived

Duck in Cave - Sketchbook Mobile Pro

I think that this illustration is the best attempt at doing something with my tablet that looks closest to my naturally preferential artstyle. It gives me great excitement about what I will be able to do with it in the future. I have some drawing assignments coming up and I am tempted to to go solely on the tablet. 

I think one of the things that I like about drawing on the tablet is that it is so forgiving. I mean it looks like ink, but if I draw a mistake and I can simply undo it and try again. And I can easily color and shade my drawings. There are some drawbacks and differences to drawing digitally, but I think I am ok with most of the trade-offs.

Swirling Color - Sketchbook Mobile Pro

Another in my quest to see what I can do with my tablet. I have already used art that I have produced on it in ministry and hope to see even more pieces made with it. Below is a very abstract color swirl. Something you might see on the wall at an arthouse maybe.

Blue Bird in Tree - Sketchbook Mobile Pro

This is a sketch I did on my tablet about three weeks ago and I finally got around to coloring it. For both the sketch and coloring I used Sketchbook Mobile Pro. I think I was thinking of twitter a little when it comes to the blue coloring.

Lightning Bug

This evening we saw a lightning bug in our backyard. It was the first of this year. I think that is the true sign of beginning if summer. Here's a sketch I did of it after I had the inspiration from seeing it.
