Message in a picture

Creativity with attitude

A picture of a hand can be transformed into a wave, the sea or even a statement. A whale emerges between the lines, and there’s a clear message written on the fingers: “No trash in my splash”. Creativity that makes a serious point – and it’s all done with edding brush pens. Thanks to their soft, flexible tip, edding brush pens are ideal for both fine and broad strokes. Choose your preferred shades and get drawing!

Пошаговая инструкция

Шаг 1

For this creative idea, you will need edding 1340 brush pens in black and shades of blue. In our example we went for azure blue (085), light blue (010) and black (001), but you can simply select the colours you prefer.

Шаг 2

Place your left hand on the sheet of paper and draw around it using the black brush pen (obviously, if you’re left-handed, draw around your right hand!). Next, draw horizontal, wavy lines across the sheet of paper to represent the waves. Make sure you leave the hand blank.

Шаг 3

If you need to, you can make the outline of your hand bolder by going over it again with a brush pen.

Шаг 4

Now it’s time to fill in the hand. Using the pencil, first draw the whale on the palm of the hand, with small air bubbles dotted around it. You can write the slogan “No trash in my splash” within the fingers - one word for every finger! Next, go over the picture of the whale and lettering using the black brush pen. The tip of the edding 1340 lets you add both broad and fine strokes. When it comes to drawing the whale’s baleen plates, a fineliner such as the edding 1800 is ideal.

Шаг 5

It’s now time to get colouring: use the azure blue brush pen to colour in the hand, making sure you avoid the actual whale and the lettering. Use the light blue brush pen to amplify the shading around the whale and the individual letters to give your image greater impact.
