Better late than never, right??
When I had to choose an image to use for Through the Craft Room Door's challenge from Just Inklined I struggled because I am so new at coloring I did't feel I could do any of the images justice. I chose the hyacinths because my mom was a serious gardener (I personally can't grow a weed) and we always had an amazingly colorful backyard. I loved the beautiful purple hyacinths and I plan on giving her this card. So, here is my attempt at this beautiful flower:
Honestly, it didn't come out as well as I wanted it to, but, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I only have about 20 Copic markers, so I try to fill in with water color pencils, gel pens or anything else I can think of. I am not as nervous as I used to be working with the Copics, but I still have SOOOO much to learn. I think if I had made the image bigger and used it as a wall hanging I would of been able to color it better - who knows, maybe that will be Mom's birthday gift!
