Multiliner Madness at M4M Challenges

Good morning!! Today there is some CRAZINESS going on at our challenge blog... well OK it's actually not that crazy! We just want YOU to use Multiliners in your creations :)

Here is a little something I  drew up in Multiliners the other night.. I used my favourite SP Multiliners... PINK and PURPLE in 0.3mm ...

I asked Guy what I  should draw and he was playing some fish game on his phone and said a fish... then he said do one of these Leafy/ Weedy Seadragons... I remember we saw some in a seahorse-y place in Tassie when were were there back in 2003... so I googled them to get a refresher and then I sketched one out with my Pink and Purple Multiliners... then went back in and added some more shading and colour with Copics.. RV55, RV52, V20, V22 and a number of Bs for the dotted water!!

I LOVE that there are so many colours available in Multiliners and I use them for LOTS of things... including but not limited to...

* just writing NOTES...
* fixing up what I don't stamp properly...
* making eyes darker
* adding extra bits around the image.. eg cement lines, grass lines, butterflies...
* stamping

Have a great day!! And please check out the challenge blog today and Sam's BEAUTIFUL creation!!

Good morning, I hope everyone had a GREAT weekend! Did you get some Copic colouring done? I have been busily colouring up some images that I can't show you yet as they are for upcoming releases for some digi stamp companies... stay tuned :D I have also been "practicing" my drawing and have decided to do a drawing a day to try and improve ... this involves sketching an image, inking the sketch with a multiliner and then colouring it with Copics! An example is below.... **Freebie image to colour available on request**

FIRSTLY - Some News ::

In Melbourne - I am looking to run a day of workshops / colouring in Melbourne this year.. just need to work out details... would you be interested???


Ok enough news for today :) Here are my sketches and finished image for you to see... I have done this practice drawing in one of my little M4M journals (A6 size made from Xpress It blending card) ....

# 1 - rough sketch with graphite pencil

#2 - after being sort of happy with it I inked the image with a 0.1mm black multiliner and erased the pencil lines completely...

and then I brought her to life with COLOUR :D By colouring her with my beloved Copics...

** Freebie image to colour ** I transfered her to my computer and cleaned the image up a bit more on my Wacom.... and she is now in digi form... send me an email and I will send her to you as a jpg or png to colour up!! :)
