My hippo is here!

My hippo is finished.

Hi. I finished my hippo. Today was also my first try at inking my background. On my first try I had it at least 1cm away from it being smack bam and in line with my background. The second time it tried it the lines were perfect. 

The colours.

The first try: Pink background and grey hippo.

The second try: Pink background and purple hippo.

Grey Hippo on it's way...

Yippee! I finished carving out my background on my lino print of my hippo. I'm thinking of doing the hippo grey and the background blue so it will look like he is swimming around in the sea. When I was about to start inking it Katie said that it was time to pack up and go to lunch. I was happy when lunch time came because I was STARVING because I was working so hard on carving out the lino print. So that is all that I thought was exciting for today. 

Tune in next week for more exciting stories by of course me.
