Gradients: mix 3 different colours

Hello everybody!

It’s Franz here to share with all of you my colouring project.

I’m quite scared and excited because it’s my first post here and the first time i use wordpress, i hope everything goes well :-)

However, here is my challenge for today: “Gradients”; Zoe proposed us a long list of interesting theme and i thought a lot about which one to play with, finally i decided for this one.

First of all i asked for help to Google images and i searched an inspiration image; the only ones i found was about grafic or other programs that use gradients and the only inspiration i found was to use light colours and since i already tried recently to mix light blue-green and blue-violet, i decided to try adding a third colour and see what happened!

The result was not so bad, i think, so i decided to colour  this lovely elf with these:

 

I generally don’t love to mix too different colours on my jobs, and i love monochrome,but i have to say that mix this three ones has been so funny!

I choose this image because i love Mic elves so much, they are amusing and sweet and because i thought that the long hat was perfect to show all colors toghether.
