Fantasy Colouring - Dragon Orb

Hi all!  I seem to be on a colouring roll lately.

Today I am sharing Dragon Orb by Molly Harrison Art from the February clouring class at Kit and Clowder.  I've had the image printed for quite awhile but for some reason never got around to colouring it.

How fun are those dragon wings!!

I loved doing this background technique.  Amazing what you can do with 2 Copic refills, a q-tip and rubbing alcohol.

My colours of choice for the background were G21 and BV01 because those were the refills I had that seemed to suit the coloured image. Stars were added with white pen. Coloured with Copic markers.

Garden Marci

Today I am popping in to share my version of the August marker class at Kit and Clowder.  If your looking for a reasonably priced class where you can learn new techniques every month and finish a whole project I suggest you check out Alyce's classes. They are easy to follow with both written and video instructions.

This months class used images from La La Land Crafts.  This image called Garden Marci.  I have coloured the barnyard scene with Copic markers and staged the "photo shoot" outside in my garden, which is 2 tomato plants ... lol.

The sky was intentionally left streaky to blend in with a flaw in the paper that didn't take the colour well.  What I thought was a small flaw was in more than one spot but it all worked out in the end.

Father's Day Card

Hi Everyone. Today I am sharing a Father's day card I made up using one of the unique and quirky stamps from Bloobel Stamps. This stamp is called Bookworm Bob and I am sure he is going to bring a smile to my Dad's face when he receives this card.

After colouring up Bookworm Bob with my copic markers I decided the image looked a little bare and added in the background.  For me adding a background is much easier  than fussy cutting around an image.  I have ruined more than one colouring fussy cutting!!

The card was created using papers and embellishments from my stash of supplies.

Holy Smokes! Valcanoes, Cute Kids & a Dinosaur!!!

Hi Everyone!

I know it has been a while since I have posted  ... along with the sunny weather arriving so have the outside chores!  

Between washing the deck and playing in the dirt with bedding plants I did find time to finish the April Create and Learn Class by Kit and Clowder.
 
Today we are heading back in time to the land of dinosaurs and smokey volcanoes.

The cute image used for this class is called Best Friends Dinosaur by Polkadoodles.  Usually I draw in the background following Alyce's instructions but this time around I took the quicker option and used the digi and background combo.  All colouring was done with Copic markers.


In these 2 WIP images things were coming together nicely, in the beginning .....

Then ..... colouring turned into a challenge!  I was experiencing the frustration of multiple markers going dry.  Of course it was ones I wanted to use and had no refills for!  And if that wasn't frustrating enough I was having to change colours, in the middle of colouring!!  Needless to say the image turned out a bit different than expected but all in all it seems to have worked out.

Colouring Hydrangeas with Kit & Clowder

Happy Saturday everyone!  I just realized I forgot to put the hydrangeas I coloured from the Kit & Clowder Elements of Nature Class on the blog.  If you follow my blog you know I am taking a few of Alyce's classes. 

They were posted on the facebook page but not the blog... my bad.  I have coloured these with my favourite markers, Copics, following Alyce's lesson.  

I think a touch  of pink might be nice next but I do like the finished results.  What do you think?

Here is a look at the WIP ... flowers are coloured, time to start on the pot.

... and here is the finished colouring.
