Hello everyone, I've had another attempt at using copic markers to make a card, I'm actually booked in to do a class on Sunday so I'm hoping to learn, in the mean time it's watching tutorials and playing around self teaching.
I have to say, I do get rather intimidated by the amazing creations I see on some European sites! Some cards I feel are a tad overdone as in too much embellishment or too many patterened papers which take away from the focal point of the card. Mind you, that is only my opinion for what it's worth, but it also sort of explains why I only use the markers now and then. Maybe I just need a confidence boost!
I got this little fellow in a parcel earlier this week. Edwin from the Magnolia butterfly series.
Edwin coloured using C1; C3; C5
Butterfly coloured using B21; B23

I think you've done a lovely job of colourng here. Love the monochromatic look you've gone with.
ReplyDeleteI too feel quite intimidated by my copics and find I don't use them nearly as often as I'd like. Not many classes available in Canberra unfortunately.
Love your combination of colours on this card Kasey! Thanks for joining in the grey copics challenge at Mad for Markers.

Great card Kasey! It looks great with the Grey then the blue butterfly! Best advice is to keep practising.. and having shading, high contrast really brings an image to life! Good luck in your Copic playing.. it's so much fun!
