Okay, I am coming clean.
I have been covetous of Sweet Pea images for quite a while now,
and finally caved in a few months ago and purchased some of these gorgeous ladies.
I have seen Traci, over at Wicked Pixie and Angela, at In My Quiet Time, bring these images to life with their stunning coloring and artistic skills, and I had to try my hand as well.
Mt first attempts were futile. My coloring really wasn't up to par for these images.
But, with a bit of practice and close-up viewing of other's coloring, I think I've got it!
This is "Purple Woods", by Ching-chou Kuik.
I went for the whole monochromatic color scheme which happens to be the challenges over at Kaboodle blog, and Copic Creations this week.
I think she turned out quite nice.
I used mainly the Violet family of Copics, and added some Primas, and some
Stardust Stickles.
Hey there! She's stunning, could you please share which copic colours you used for that gorgeous skintone? Thanks! Laura xxx
