Very old PAW Patrol coloring book pages I did

I did all these way back in 2014, with crayon, in my first PAW Patrol coloring book I ever got. I tried to make them all look as accurate to the show as possible, but some of the colors weren't possible to get with any of the crayons I had. The lighting makes Chase's lighter fur look way more yellow than it actually is, it's much more show accurate when not on camera. The coloring job isn't the best by any means because I've always been kinda bad at coloring, so you'll see there's parts that are out of the lines and there's also quite a bit of white still showing through in the colored parts because thoroughly covering every area with its respective color is just too hard for me, even now, which is why I don't color my traditional art, only the digital stuff.

And for comparison to my current coloring skills here's a Chase I did for a coloring game I made up when my brothers and I were bored and had nothing to do, it was fun but we only played it once unfortunately. This Chase is colored in with colored pencils since I don't use crayons anymore, they're too messy and smudge everywhere, especially since I'm left handed. Plus colored pencils have more variety in terms of colors, so that makes it easier to get all the colors I need for a picture.

This one is more in the lines because it's nice and big, but I still can't thoroughly color everything, so there's still a lot of white.

It's almost 3:30 AM, I need sleep. Till next time, Marshall out! ✌️

this manatee looks like it’s in a skyrim loading screen

#lol good luck finding all of the photoshopped versions in the rb history. ‘manatee restored’ is still my favorite of all time #misc #I encourage anyone dyslexic to try rotating him in your mind. I can’t do that; which is why I’m asking you to.#also: a bunch of tags are surprised this isn’t ‘shopped #it’s the lighting. backlit by the sun (which is diffused through the water) but also forelit artificially #the artificial light - a flash pack or something - casts a hard shadow under the creatures arm #which normally wouldn’t be possible if backlit by the SUN; you’d see a less-hard/more-fragmented shadow above water #as light sources ‘compete’ in a sense - and since there aren’t any light sources which can outshine the literal sun #it looks a bit weird when the darkest shadow is being cast from any other origin point - which is what’s essentially happening here #I don’t know the mechanics of how light travels through water; but I know the effect is substantial even with relatively short distances #also: it’s been balanced and color corrected by the author of the photo - who made deliberate choices to bring out the full potential #so it’s not like it’s a fresh and untouched export #but the kind of ‘tacked on’ appearance of the creature is a result of the lighting conditions within the image

Leo learns something about himself 🏳️‍⚧️

Based roughly on this old post.

Bonus:

[Leo is taking the fact that he was born biologically female simultaneously very well and also not so well but overall he’s mostly coping with the fact that it was Draxum that just essentially gave him the turtle equivalent of ‘The Talk’.]

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #trans leonardo #trans leo #rottmnt headcanons #turtle art tag #rise draxum #happy pride everyone~#if you’re wondering why there’s no backgrounds that’s because my files got messed up so just blankness in the bg sorry #but yeah!#this is forever and always my fav headcanon for Leo it makes too much sense to me #I wanted to make sure I got it done in time for pride haha #I don’t know if it’s obvious by the end but Draxum ran off because he was for once doing something nice for Leo #that being leading him somewhere else not in front of everyone so Leo can process the fact that he was born female in peace haha #(but he also just - wanted to avoid the ensuing awkward Talk as long as he could lol)#“how would Leo NOT know’’ he had an inkling but never thought much of it because he’s a teenage turtle mutant with no access to healthcare #also yeah that’s splinter’s hand at the end there I just KNOW he’d want those pics #also also - Leo here can technically be trans or even intersex in some way too #both is good #making this made me remember why I never do color #at least for comics #it just takes sooo long #but it was fun and worth it for my fave hc #this is like the first time I’ve drawn Draxum and man he’s kinda hard to draw #also their sizes are just 1 2 and 3 because Draxum had a simple system in place for sizing his subjects #(aka I was too lazy to think of anything else to put there)#also dunno if anyone noticed but look at Raph’s paper and look at his baby’s self’s photo

The colours as little paper chain guys was an idea I couldn’t get out of my head, so I drew not one but two versions! (Cuz I’m a sucker for shadow >:))

#linked universe #linkeduniverse #my art #lu four #fanart #lu colors #lu shadow #i found an old thumbnail in one of my sketchbooks and said ‘hm why didn’t I make this a full piece’#And lo and behold! A full piece/s #The four swords manga had devastating effects on me as a child #I’m actually obsessed with shadow it’s not even funny #ALSO you wouldn’t believe how hard it is to find references of people holding paper chains #So I kinda just guessed how the hands would look
