Drawing A Southern California Jack o Lantern At Sunset

This week I decided to draw a picture of a little Southern California jack o lantern with palm trees and the San Bernardino Mountains in the background. This little jack o lantern evokes the imagery one would see when walking around during Halloween in the Inland Empire.

The illustration above is a scanned version of my colored pencil drawing of the smiley jack o lantern.

During this phase of the sketch I finished coloring in the darker groves, and lighter spots on the pumpkin. I also used dark and lighter green colored pencils to color in the jack o lantern’s stem.

The Completed Jack o Lantern Drawing

Here I have finished the drawing with the purple and brown colors used to shade in the mountains and the palm trees.  I used a neon salmon colored pencil to create the sunset sky as a backdrop to the palm tree and mountain silhouette.

This video illustrates what the completed palm tree jack o lantern looks like now that it is completed.

Making An Easter Egg Card

Today I created an Easter egg card by drawing little eggs on the front of my handmade card, and then shading these in with colored pencils.

The Easter Egg Card

In the first step of creating the Easter egg card I drew little eggs on the card with various designs.

Next, I colored these in with several different shades of colored pencils.

After I finished coloring in the eggs, I shaded in green grass all around these, which makes it look like these were found during a scavenger hunt.

This is the video of my completed Easter egg card with the wide variety of patterns to be seen.
