Coloring Page Monster


I do not have the finished projected, because the app was messing up, but this is my original coloring-page monster.  We had to color it in and shade it using layers, which I had used before, but I found helpful once more.  In the first layer I colored the monster all one basic color, just going over it all without variation in tone or shade.  In the second layer, I shaded it partially.  I didn't get enough time to finish, because I take forever to do anything, so it is only partially and sloppily shaded.
    One thing I did not like about this particular app is that it did not have the shading tool I wanted. It had every shading tool under the sun, in all sorts of wacko patterns and pencil strokes, but it didn't have the smooth, partially transparent shading tool that I had envisioned.  Maybe such a thing did exist and I missed it because there were so many little icons, but that was one thing I did not like about the application.  
    Other tools were good for the base, though.  Instead of using plain elephant eyes as I did on my coloring page, I took a big splotchy tool and put huge black circles where they eyes would be, then I did a thin layer of red dots at the center of that, giving this elephant-frogish-reindeer creature a truly demonic look.  It was by far the most enjoyable Fun Friday activity that we've done.
