Something new...

Good morning Copic lovers, Rachael here for today's post. After some nice celebrations yesterday to celebrate Australia Day, the weather has turned completely miserable, but it is the perfect colouring weather. With the current challenge over on the Mad For Markers Challenge blog, I decided to challenge myself too and try a couple of different colour combinations. My Mad For Markers Copic Journal is just perfect to trying new colour combinations and also a great place to keep a list of new colour combinations I may stumble across blog hopping. Today I'm sharing two new combinations, one for blonde hair and one for skin. I'm really loving the blonde hair colour combo... think I will be using this one again.

 I hope that I have inspired you to give it a go, if I have leave a comment and I will pop on over to your blog and check it out.
Till next time, happy colouring

Different skin tones

Hello hello everyone. What a wonderful break I had and I am back.

I thought I would start this year off with an age old question. What skin tone colours do you use...?? Some people like using the light and other the dark. I kind of like the in between colours but from time to time I will do the others. I have coloured three images for you today to show you the differences in the skin. The colours used are under the image. Please click on the photo to see a larger view.

As you can see from left to right the change in tones. The middle one is the one I typically use but will from time to time do the E00 as the base colour. It is always a personal preference for anyone and sometimes you may not have the colours I have used in any of the three. What do you all think...?? What is your preference...?? Let us know.
