My first colouring attempt in just over 2 years!

Well some of you may know and some of you may not, but I used to be a colourist (as in colouring images, not hair! lol) quite a while back.

I was lucky enough to work for some great companies colouring samples for them, including TV & magazine samples, national show samples and colouring for product packaging.

I also worked for Letraset (now windsor and Newton) who are amongst lots of other things, the creators of Promarkers (which were always my favourite pens!) I loved every part of it, colouring was my passion and my escape (I suffered badly with depression at that point in my life, which was in fact the reason I first took up my pens).

However after a very negative , bad experience with a stamp company, which left me feeling very used and bullied. I put down my pens and hadn’t picked them up since.

Every time I picked them up after this incident, I just had a flood of bad feelings come back and it took the love away from it for me. 🙁

Don’t get me wrong, I then focused on the other side of my business and that is now doing amazing, but colouring was always something I missed.

Just over 2 years on and finally I had my pens back in my hands! It wasn’t for long and I don’t know when I will next get time to pick them up lol, but amazingly my pens were still working! I mean after all those years of just sitting there I wouldn’t of been surprised if they weren’t!

So this is it, I can’t believe how bad my colouring looks after all this time of nothing lol.   I can remember how to colour, but my hands and brain just didn’t manage it!

A bit of an anti-climax after all that waffle….lol….But I wanted to share it, as it was a really big thing for me to pick my pens up again and actually feel OK about it 🙂

I hope you will pop back again soon for my next post.
