I wanted to post this picture on my blog. I colored it last night at the Copic Intermediate class I took. I took the Standard class on the day before. What does this mean, you ask. Well, I am now certified to teach art using copic markers. I am so excited about it. I learned so much in the class. It was long, especially the class yesterday, but well worth it. The instructor was Debbie Olsen and she was an excellent instructor! I would recommend taking both these coarses, especially if you are serious about your copics. The standard class covers the basics about copics and how to blend with them. The intermediate class covered shading and shadows, skin and hair, and how to choose what colors will work together. The colors I used are written on the paper, but the writing might be a little hard to read. If you look at the two leaves at the bottom of the picture, you will notice a dark spot in the middle of the bottom leaf. That is the shadow of the the top leaf. I would never have thought of doing something like that! Anyway, enjoy!

An Apple a Day
An Apple a Day
I colored this apple a few times before I got to the point where I liked it. It is done with copic markers, of coarse. The stamp originally had lines in the apple depicting gloss on the apples, I didn't like these line, I felt I was limited as to where to put the gloss. So, I took my sisters stamp carving knives and took out those lines and I do like it a lot better. It is a lot prettier and easier to color.The next problem was how I was going to make a card with the apples. I wanted the focus to be on the apples so I made the rest of the card black and white.The labels with the apples on them and the labels with the words have lift tape under them to add a little dimension to the card. My best friend will be going in for surgery in a couple of weeks so I think I will be giving it to her as a get well card, if I don't make another card. Again, I used scraps of paper so I can't give you the brands on much except the stamp. The black cardstock is a shimmer cardstock left over from my nephew's wedding invitations. I hope you enjoy the card.
