**Happy Halloween guys, today I did an experiment art since we had no work today. By the way, I'm a sales representative here in Taiwan, thanks to some issues recently I got suspended.** Anyways, I had an art experiment today with black papers. What a good timing it is, today is November 1 and I feel like hyping the atmosphere a little with my art here. So today I used black paper canvass for my attempted Halloween greetings card cover. I don't know if people will like it but meh, I want to do some Steemit today so I better do post this. By the way, the new logo sucks! I like the old one more! We have free speech here right? LOL, don't want to offend anyone, just wanted to get this feeling out of me. I think Steemit is a good platform to express yourself, so, I'm okay? ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmexPXWCN5Yz3b1RLCE5QequTjRQbXXyMJJTeZxwaXUAAR/image.png) With all of that said, I'll walk you now to how I made this Halloween card(cover). **Materials:** -black paper(cartolina) c: -colored pencils ;D -correction fluid XD -pencil D: So here is the black paper ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbtuJ68gDt5dfzShFNZQ6p7hQqJpZCaCK6aCBdsXPFLqz/image.png) I made a pencil sketch ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYTqA5YNnPSzN4NX3tiPumvfg1dCzDKieYhUaxeYF66eo/image.png)I applied some orange colored pencils for the pumpkin face ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdqkryBTbaFgM5pTrg7u7tfRCPEaXiGqkZeuv7xh6ARJ4/image.png) Filled the face up ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWqnmYefGW7V2XTKRpjK5gdB8TiDSbK7nLLK1h5qPMUu3/image.png) Filling up the face complete! ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmc2u7KLnAa8f3NyrDgQy3GVEQ2Gm9wF9EnN1NyzfUEzQH/image.png) I then applied some yellow green pencils on the leaves and white pencil on the hollow parts. During this time, I feel like these pencils will work alone with applying different values of per color like yellow green to dark green. Usually it works good with that method but I underestimated the black canvass here so I realized something as I move on. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTc3moTfAgb8FWvUah4ri4XNr6GhEXwtQgaFRGqTQTVxq/image.png) I then colored the vines with darker green and attempted to do some highlights on the yellow green color ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmS8YMcMvysn83Gr2rTuSPXAj6E8twa72C9E6boMPENfM9/image.png) Now I realized that the colors of the color pencils was so underwhelming cause of the strength of the black canvass. The colored pencils just looks like a chalk drawing here. At that time I realized that using some metallic pens, metallic paint, white ink, poster paint, oil paint and other mediums that I do not know with strong colors would had worked better for this canvass. I don't have any of those mediums so I thought of a good substitute, correction fluid. The lines isn't as good as you could do with it but it can still make things work. (:![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUtZ5TUG39cSFPASvD8RKVY4qfM81eihYButjpXgizunh/image.png) I experimented with the hair and the hollow parts ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbnKRKWrY3aeQpHQStn13E3k55wW5oV9kHwXP8FSjyr4k/image.png) I then lined those face outlines with the correction fluid. Its not impressive but it achieved the visibility for the piece, somehow I achieved something here so cheers! ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeBfHMSF7peokTHcrsbW4tb48nHdBbND8kSwecc5o6y2E/image.png) I added the word Halloween ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQYVN2q7KHBDRXwc2KepebCLXwcuYqRV2RrWsRJyWMTjr/image.png) And applied more details on the free spaces so it will be in us. I hate unused spaces by the way. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcBdZ2A93Ru9xGvaCK7Ky68TRGfaW3jj5bebuFKU53Wuz/image.png) And a one ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbi7Y4gtp1RfejgHrkgDLRFtbnNpYKixVY8vGEAwKaXFM/image.png) And a two ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSfPPQnvPqoUyUdXeMQdtCFbweAt94xhbvAbHktABTGJf/image.png) And three, we're done, added the year so it can remind me that I made this card cover for Steemit, someday when I'm older. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUKtabKawq4JQnNTnQy91EH99MQwTB6W2oXhYq8x98wLn/image.png) I adjusted the brightness to remove the camera's flash flare with Photoshop ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmexPXWCN5Yz3b1RLCE5QequTjRQbXXyMJJTeZxwaXUAAR/image.png) ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZ5yCLVoLWDAiAQgTwwjTyqM6kgQYxSRnADxR4x7fiwjr/image.png) **That is for today folks** **Happy Halloween**
