Chimps!

Happy to be back today with another Dr.Digi Friday! This is Chaz the Chimp! Great fun to colour up and super handy for a "Go Bananas" birthday card!

(Was torn between my normal pencil CAS card, and shaker card filled with bananas! It'd be cool wouldn't it?)

So wanted to get a bit of a painted tire/tyre effect, rather than a completely black solid ring, was a bit worried the image would be a bit black on black on black, and a bit dreary. This is all done with polychromo pencils on kraft card. (If you are interested in how I create the fur texture there is a link to my guide here.)

Here is the blank digi image, so you can see what it looked like before and after! :)

I did go and do a bit of research to see how chimps were put together in real life. Noticing details from the real thing can give you some things to add to the digi if you like putting in extra texture and details. Hence he gained some fingernails! :D

I backed the image with some wood grain paper from the stash. Font is Mister Sirloin. Bling from the stash too. White posca pen highlights in his eyes.

Thanks for joining me on the blog today! This chap was great fun to make up into a card (for my brother's 50th!) and he's already been sent! If you would like to join us on the Dr.Digi's House of Stamps Facebook page, we would love to see you there!
