The Daily Marker 30 day coloring challenge

I had every intention of coloring a little each day since this started on March 4th, but this is the only thing I have to show, so far.  I followed along with the day one video and improvised with some different copic colors and bird image.  I like the texture we got by using a scrap of terry cloth wet with colorless blender and dabbed on the image after coloring.  My bird image is less whimsical, but I am happy with the way it turned out.  I'm pretty slow at coloring and didn't pay lots of attention to staying inside the lines, as you can see on the first bird.  (I cleaned it up a little with colorless blender).  It was fun - my daughter and I were coloring at the same time, but she's much faster and gets better blending (and stays inside the lines better!)
The birds are from an on-line copic coloring class my daughter and I took this summer.  I'm not sure if I'll use either on a card or just keep for future reference.

Thanks for taking a look, and if you haven't already, visit Kathy's blog and see the many projects posted under the Daily Marker 30 day coloring challenge.  Tons of inspiration!

  1. What a great way to get the color challenge done -- and create a reference too boot. I'm new to alcohol markers and am still learning how to blend colors and such. I should do more of these kinds of reference projects -- thanks for the inspiration!

    1. Thanks. I'm still working on blending colors, too. I have a hard time choosing which ones to use.

  2. These look great! I took the class this winter (after the 'live') version ended. It was great fun, wasn't it?
