Colour collective on twitter

There is a group of illustrators and artists active on Twitter by the name (and hashtag #) colour_collective.

Each Friday night, at the same time, they all post a work they made using the same colour. This colour is announced every Saturday via the colour_collective account on twitter. Each artist is free to pick a theme and medium of their choice.

I, too am part of this on line collective.

A few months ago I decided to make a series of the ugly duck story. I wanted to experiment a little with the style and digital art. Only in my story the ugly duck wasn’t a little swan.. 🙂

Here is what I posted each week:

‘What the duck is that mom?’ #colour_collective #fierycoral Part one #uglyduck

 

 

Get away, freak! You’re different and ugly!’ My #illustration for today’s #colour_collective #khaki. Part 2 of #uglyduck #story

 

 

After fleeing, he stayed @ the #swamp. He was tolerated but felt #lonely. #colour_collective #uglyduck #illustration #Byzantium_Purple pt 3

 

 

In the coldest #wintertime, he was all #alone. My #illustration for #colour_collective. #uglyduck part 4. #illustrator #artwork #flamingo

 

 

 

He was rescued by a #farmer. But he didn’t feel at #home at the #farm. #illustration #colour_collective. #uglyduck pt 5 #portlandorange

 

 

Then Twitter made it able to use more characters in a message.

After walking away from the farm, he came at a #lake. He saw the most wonderful water #birds. ‘I wished I was one of them’ he sighed. And he joined them, although he was afraid they would harm him. #drawing for today’s #colour_collective #persiangreen #illustration #flamingos part 6

 

 

‘ Look there is a new flamingo! He is the most beautiful of them all’ As he saw people pointing at him, he was surprised & became very shy. He looked at his #reflection and saw he was indeed a very beautiful.. #flamingo! . Last #illustration of #uglyduck for #colour_collective.
