I really wanted to practice my no-line coloring some more, so I chose these two gnomes, positioned them like the two tulips together, and gave them predominately red and green outfits. I love the crisp red and white of Lindsey's tag, so I kept very close to her design. I debated whether I should keep the background white, but once I committed to the blue, I kept it as smooth as possible to reflect Lindsey's solid (white) colored background. In hindsight, I think it's too flat for these fellows, but there's always next time.
Now looking at them I think, "why did they shave off their eyebrows?" Next time I'll have to remember to give them some old man fluffy eyebrows!
