If I Were a Penguin by ~Devvyn on deviantART

This month has been good for my DA account which up until recently has had little attention.  With the posting of some photos I wasn't doing anything else with, I've attracted a new total of 26 favourites.  I also felt inspired by one of the photos I saw on someone else's profile and graffiti'd it onto my FaceBook wall.  I posted my doodle of it on DA and the original photographer faved that as well!

FaceBook's Graffiti application is difficult to draw with, because it only has one brush type and an undo button.  You get brush size, colour, and opacity, and that's it.  Even the colour chooser is limited--if you want a colour not in the palette you have to type its hex value.  The cool thing is you can watch a replay to see how the artist built up the image from strokes of colour.

"You bring me tranquility."

The purpose of this entry is two-fold:  I committed to finishing a colouring job before Tuesday and I figure if I put this promise out in public I'll be more motivated to live up to it.  Additionally, I just turned on posting to FaceBook Beacon and I want to see what happens when I post in my LJ now.

The line art I'm colouring is here. 

Edit: I should clarify that this is a collaboration with another artist.
