The first challenge is 'colouringface/skin tones' for the Copic Creations challenge. Just look at the DT cards - all I can say is WOW!
As a copic newbie, skin tones can be tricky - it's easy to make you characters look too pink, or they end up looking like a golden roast chicken! My first attempt at this little cutie was rubbish - she looked very rosy indeed! This one is a little better, but I did make a bit of a boob with the blue marker - it got onto her foot and I couldn't get rid of it with the blender pen.
I've used these Copic Ciao pens: R00, R20,R22, R35, RV42, B60, B93, B95, B97, E000 (Sketch pen), E00, E02, E31, E35, E51, Y17, Y21, Y28, Y38, YG03, W1.
I added in a few white highlights with my trusty Ranger Inkessentials pen.

I've been helped massively by Marianne's and Claudia's blog tutorials, but I've still a way to go (and lots more Copics to buy!!). Suzanne's blog is a great place to learn techniques, too.
The image is a Sarah Kay stamp, 'picnics of daisies'. These images are more detailed and time-consuming than the Tildas, but so gorgeous.
What a darling card. Your coloring is wonderful and I think you'll grow to love your copics more and more. Thanks so much for joining our first challenge. Hope to see you back.
