Hi, I was asked today to do a tutorial on spotlights, having never done a tutorial before I was a bit concerned but thought oh well I'll give it a go. Please forgive me it is very photo heavy. So here it is.

 

1st Picture is of the 'Studio Set' from Make it Crafty

http://www.makeitcrafty.com/studio-set-digi-stamp.html

 

2nd,3rd,4th,5th & 6th Picture's- Working out the angle of the spotlight. I used a metal ruler and a grey lead pencil to lightly draw it in.

 

7th Picture - Then I used a 2 inch circle shape to trace in the 'SPOT'.

 

8th & 9th Pictures - using an eraser to clean up the image, then coloured the entire image with my lightest colour C0.

10th Picture - I used C1 around the spotlight, then used the eraser again to remove most of the pencil marks.

 

11th, 12th, 13th & 14th Pictures - Adding darker colours to outer spotlight area, C2,C4,C5 & C6.

Then I went over the whole image with C0.

 

15th Picture - I darkened some areas with N6 to get a bit more depth then added 50 Shades of Sexy from Redonkadoodles https://www.redonkadoodles.com/Digital-Stamps/digital-stamp-fifty-shades-of-sexy

 

 

Well there it is my first tutorial hope it's ok.

Hello again, I'm practicing for the latest Make it Colourful Challenge http://www.makeitcolourful.com/challenges/challenge-3-skin-muscle-definition I've coloured this little cutie from Make it Crafty http://www.makeitcrafty.com/aussie-outback-sheila-digi-stamp-clone.html Gumnut Curly Top. I have tried using different colours for her skin and have tried to add some muscle tone as well. I used E11, E13, E15 and E17.

 

I love how these challenges put me out of my comfort zone and teach me new techniques. I'll keep practicing as I don't think this one is quite ready. Thanks for visiting xx.
