Copic colouring attempts!

We have been stuck indoors most of the week with the snow, so in an attempt to stop myself from going stir crazy I have been playing with my Copic markers!

I have had loads of images already stamped/printed out and every now and then I delve into them and work on a few. Up until now I have mainly been working on skin tones, then hair as I like to match the images up with papers and embellishments and colour the rest of the image accordingly.

So, there I have sat, happily colouring away and feeling quite pleased with most of the results.....then I take a look at Pinterest and think, oh goodness, mine look so childlike and lack definition. Perhaps I need to explore some colouring tutorials!


If anyone could give me any advice or point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.

I feel I want to start from scratch again! After being stuck at home I have now come down with the flu and my head pounding, perhaps I should just give up and admit Copic defeat! Hopefully, if I completely finish as few images and make up some cards, I might feel a bit more accomplished.

Hey ho!

Take care out there!

Hi Adele, your colouring looks great to me. I used to colour a lot and know how easy it is to compare yourself to others, but many of those have been colouring for years. There is a group on Facebook called Kit and Clowder which is great- Alyce who runs it is so helpful and posutive and on her website there are some great classes. Hope to see more colouring from you soon. Cathy x
