This art was done as thanks for 300 followers on Instagram. At the time I released it, a contest involving it was running. The contest closed in January of 2018, but I'll be leaving it up here for you to color, if you so desire! If you color it, be sure to either post it on Instagram and tag me ( @lissiedixonart ), or email it to me via [email protected] ! I'd love to see it. 'u'

Here's how to use the lineart--there are two different options for coloring it!
DIGITAL:
• Download the image, then open it in your art program of preference.
• Set the lineart layer to Multiply, then make some normal layers and put them beneath it. Color on these layers. As long as you have the lineart set to multiply and you're coloring on layers below it, use whatever layer settings you'd like! You can make special effects layers over the lineart too!
I use normal layers for the flat base colors, then multiply layers over the flat layers for the shadows. I fill the entire character with the shadow color on the multiply layer, then erase the shadows out from where I don't want them. I then use hard light layers for highlights and some special effects. I often do some highlights and effects on layers over the lineart, too. ♥
• Have fun! Experiment a bit! I know I colored some of the lineart blue and purple, but hopefully you can still do some unique stuff! Play with the light source--maybe if you're real adventurous (And more experienced in your program than I am), try some color holds and change the lineart colors!
• When you're done, be sure to add your signature by mine, then save your piece and either post it on Instagram and tag me ( @lissiedixonart ) and use the hashtag #lissiecolorevent ! Or email it to me via [email protected] !

TRADITIONAL:
• Download the image, then print it on your favorite paper.
• Color it using your preferred supplies--markers, colored pencils...maybe even paint? You could even try making a bigger challenge out of it and using food! ...okay, maybe not, but if you want to color it using ketchup and salad dressing, feel free XD
• When you're done, be sure to add your signature by mine!
• Either scan the finished piece or take a clear photo (Desk shots or photos with props are good too--just as long as I can see the art well!), then either post it on Instagram and tag me ( @lissiedixonart ) and use the hashtag #lissiecolorevent ! Or email it to me via [email protected] !

Above all, just have fun. Color it your favorite way, and feel free to color it as many different times as you’d like!
Thank you for your time!
I hope you enjoy coloring this lineart as much as I enjoyed making it.
