DIVA CHALLENGE #140

Today I took a stab at The Diva's Weekly Challenge #140 .  (It's my first Diva Challenge!!!)  The challenge was to tangle using pointillism; which I must admit, I was super stoked about.  Pointillism is probably one of my very favorite techniques, as well as one that I haven't used in quite a while.

SOOOOOO, without further ado, here it is!
Diva Challenge #140

If you open the image to see it larger, it shows up HUGE.  The down side is that you can see my cheating.  I say cheating, because there is no way I could have drawn this using dots without guide-lines.  However; the up side of seeing it huge, is that you can more clearly see the range of different colors I used in each section to obtain shading effects.  I am very, very, VERY happy with how bitten turned out, & almost as happy with huggins.

As always, it would be awesome to hear any feedback - good, bad, indifferent.

    Nice job on the tangles. This would have been a tough one for the first challenge, but that could be said of a lot of them. Glad you decided to join the challenge.

      thank you! I just used every different random colored pen & marker I had on my desk. I'm a bit of a pen hoarder!

      Thanks bunches!! I'm sure that if I hadn't cheated, this would have turned into a big blobby mess! (so I'm glad I cheated too.)

      Thanks a bunch - but hopefully this pretty good first challenge won't set me up for disaster in the ones yet to come!
