Harry Potter Colouring Book Part 2

I won't lie, I've been bitten by the adult colouring bug and seriously infected. I love it!
As someone with depression and anxiety, colouring gives me a break and a distraction. Plus it's quite a nice break from A-levels too. 
I bought a nice pack of Faber Castell eco-pencils recently. I really recommend buying them from Staples as the 36 pack cost me less than £5!
So here is my next piece from the beautiful Harry Potter book. I shall hopefully be getting my hands on the new Harry Potter one soon too.
The background of this picture was done with Crayola pencils. They are cheap, yet give beautifully bright colours. The rest was done with my lovely new Faber Castells that are so smooth to colour with, and blend brilliantly. I am super happy with them!
I'd love to hear some feedback!

Enchanted Forest Postcards Part 2


I've recently been working on the second page of the Enchanted Forest Postcards I received for Christmas.
I will admit that I'm not hugely fond of the finished piece, but I am glad I stuck with it and got it finished.
This was done entirely with Staedtler Triplus Fineliners. I picked a set of these pens up from Tesco to use just for colouring, as my Stabilo pens are primarily for schoolwork, and I absolutely love them! They are fine enough for all the small details, yet colour in large areas fairly well. I don't know whether it's because of the pens, card used in this book, or a combination of both, but they run smoothly across the card. 

All the colours used
Again, if anyone has any questions, tips or any comments at all, I'd love to hear from you!
