Description:

I was watching my 2 year old coloring with a white pencil, came up with this idea and thought it would be fun.

Take a white crayon (or white coloring pencil, but crayon would work best) and draw a picture or scene depicting something from your partner's likes. Then when you recieve the letter from your partner, you take any colored pencils or any color of crayon and color over the recieved peice of paper to reveal your partners art for you.

If you would like you can write numbers (like a paint by number) and correspond those numbers with colors if you drew something that corresponds with colors.

PLEASE NOTE!!! This is a swap just for fun and there will be VARYING DEGREES OF ART LEVELS. Please do not join expecting a masterpeice. While I will write a requirement for some complexity, it will still be fairly simplistic as it is in a color that will be hard for your partner to see as they are drawing it.

sample

Above I have an example I made rather quickly with the white being crayon and the color being pencil. It doesn't work as well woth crayon on crayon.

Requirements and swap info:

  1. Each person will have 1 partner.

  2. This is newbie friendly with a decently filled out profile.

  3. If not a newbie you must have a rating of 4.97 with no unexplaines 1's or 3's (if you do have please pm before joining or you will be kicked with no explination).

  4. This is an INTERNATIONAL SWAP but should only require the cost of an international stamp as it is one peice of paper.

  5. Use a standard size paper of 8 x 11 and use at least half of the paper to draw something slightly complex (ie don't draw a heart in the middle and call it done

  6. Be sure to include your Swapbot user name and the name of the swap on the back of your paper.

  7. Be sure the picture subject is based on your partner's profile.

  8. If your partner followed number 5-7 and is on time you should rate a 5.

  9. If you have any questions please ask ^^

    Happy swapping

This sounds cool but I've only seen it done with a transparent wet medium put overtop like watercolour paint. Are you sure it works with dry mediums?

It is not perfect, but that is why this isnt a serious one. I will draw something in a bit as an example and put it in the imsge section

Using soft chalk pastel lightly over the crayons drawing might also work as the resist media.
