Copic Marker Europe Guest

     What a thrill to be asked by amazingly talented Tracy Payne to be a Guest Designer for Copic Marker Europe!  Thank you so much ladies for the invite and all the wonderful inspiration and techniques you share with us.
     I just absolutely fell in love with the multi image set of sailor boys Mo Manning released through Mo's Digital Pencil.  It's such a blessing to be a member of her team and get to work with her images.  I couldn't resist going to one of her stamps again for my guest card.
     Working with Copics has been a slow and steady learning process for me.  Everything I know has been learned through coloring tutorials just like the ones posted on Copic Marker Europe.  I always start with the skin and hair and then choose my designer papers, coloring the rest of the image to match.  In this case I wanted some vintage style masculine papers to go along with the little boy.  I even found a charm in my stash with a British ship on it.
     Here is the list of Copics I used for this card:

Copics

Skin   E000, E00, E11, E13, R20

Hair   E51, E53, E55, E57

Clothing   B91, B93, B95, B97, B99, W1, W3, W5, R35, R37, R39, N1, N3, N5, N7

Boat   E31, E33, E35, E37, E39, E000, E00, B0000, B000, B00

Shading  E41, E42, E43, C00, CO, C2

     As you can see I like to use a lot of markers.  LOL

     Once again I would like to thank the ladies at Copic Marker Europe for asking me to be their guest.  It's an honor to have been asked to make a project considering the talent that is regularly shared on their blog.
