Mad For Markers April Challenge

Good afternoon lovely blog readers... this morning it was my turn to announce the new challenge for April over on the Mad For Markers Challenge Blog... and this months theme is April Showers.


It's all about colouring something to look wet... think water, beach scenes, bubble baths, fishing, mermaids, snow or the obvious, rain....

To inspire you to get into some wet colouring, here are a couple of links to some great tutorials from Marianne Walker....

Rain

Making Dew Drops

  And here is a little coloured inspiration from me....
 

Till next time...

I have coloured this image up in my Mad For Markers Copic Journal which is just great for practising out new colour combinations. A new colour combination which I created for this image, was the for the skin using E30, E31 and E13.... and I quite like the way it turned out.
