I found a toy car or a metal model of a car, it looks like Christine, it was once painted red, but some one toke marker and scribbled all over it, so I rescued it from the garbage wich no one saw thank god as I could have gotten fired, and I whent to some how re-paint it to look like evil Christine, just not shure how? Imwheouod have to remove the paint
...they make spray primer that will allow a repaint but you will have to disassemble the model, much like real car-to do it right....

I also whant to do a Stephen king book purse. But I am doing the chap and easy way, ie an already made purse just have to get the front and back and attach the cover to it. Somehow, and like seal the dust cover to it. Or I could buy one already made from etsy

I no longer have a printer/scanner but I often thought about scanning an SK book cover and printing it out on an iron-on t-shirt transfer sheet to make a clutch.

I am doing a drawing for a friend's daughter who was recently married. I did the drawing from this engagement photo of her daughter and her fiancé:

I'm happy with the drawing, but I was toying with the idea of adding some color to the picture, kind of like the technique of adding color to a black and white photograph (see example). Maybe using colored pencils to make the background in greens, yellows and blues? What do you guys think? Should I leave it as is, or add the color?

Very nice job, danie!

As for the color question, I've done that before but it really works best when you have a focal point for the color, like the lake in your example. If she had a bow in her hair, or a flower in her hand, you'd have a good spot to add a pop of color, but this pose really doesn't have that and anything you added would be a distraction. Leave it just like it is. Lovely! :love_heart:
