Here's an #art before bed :) This is from my mandala colouring book (https://www.amazon.com/Meditative-Garden-Mandala-Coloring-Serene/dp/1454710284), coloured with Faber Castell Pitt brush pens ^.^

@WelshPixie That is amazing! How much time do you think you have in that one?
@spridlewv Ooh I don't know. I drew it digitally so it probably didn't take that long to draw (using krita which has a lovely multibrush mode that repeats your pattern around a circle - great for mandalas), and colouring it took maybe six hours? The book is big-ish, this one has a diameter of 23cm :)

@WelshPixie @spridlewv 6 hrs to color something?!?

Wow.

@OldandConfused @spridlewv It's shaded, which involves re-colouring sections to get the heavier colour - and those tiny details take a surprisingly long time ^.^
@WelshPixie @spridlewv
I don't get coloring. Shades and hued in particular are just unnecessary.
@OldandConfused @spridlewv I don't do it because it's necessary. ^.^

@WelshPixie @spridlewv

Ah... Yea, I write crappy short stories for that kind of thing. Coloring isn't fun when people constantly make fun of you for being incapable of telling colors apart.

@OldandConfused @spridlewv Well, kick 'em in the nuts when they do that. THAT's fun at least. :p

@WelshPixie @spridlewv I first discovered it by a bitch 3rd grade teacher screeching at me about being a little snot because I painted the American flag green, white, and blue...

I had no clue wtf was going on.

Obviously, it scarred me for life.

@OldandConfused @WelshPixie Thats understandable. I was the fat kid, so I understand scarred for life.

@spridlewv @WelshPixie Sorry for your trauma, man.

We're all screwed up here!

@OldandConfused @WelshPixie Yes, I tend to fit in better among the screwed up crowd.
@spridlewv @WelshPixie They're certainly my people!
