Hairy Situation--- No Line

Hello all,

Welcome to the last day of my No Line Coloring week.  If you know me... than you know I like a challenge. When I started this adventure, I looked for the hardest images I could find to test out the technique.  This hair was a challenge!  I loved every second of it.  It was so so so much fun to do.

I hope you've enjoyed this week of no line images.  Hopefully,  I've encouraged you to try this technique.   It is a little bit of a challenge, but the end results are worth it.   I'm going to work on some "regular" images next week, but I'll be back to this again soon.

Tilda's Heart ---No Line

Welcome friends,

This is my favorite of the no line cards.  I just think she is the perfect image for this technique.  I love the soft look it gives her.  It adds a certain sweetness.  What do you think? Do you have any favorite from the week?   You can see me color her on the No Line DVD class.

Elephant Bubbles-- No Line

Greetings!

Welcome to Day 4 of my 6 day No Line marathon (It is way easier than a real marathon!).

This next card was really hard to photograph because the bubble are so soft.  I had a lot of requests on how to do them at the Akron convention    I included them in the DVD class.  Check that out here.

Copics used:

Elephant: C5, C3, C1, C0, R00
Bubbles: RV000, B000, BV000, YR000, R000, Y000, Blender
Grass: G46, G43, G40
black multi-liner
White Gel pen

I scanned the card hoping that it did it more justice than photos, but it washed out the bubbles a little.

Party Animal-- No Line

Hello again!

Welcome to Day 3 of Coloring without borders (aka No Line Coloring).   The first two days I shared some flowers... but now I wanted to move onto animals.  I happen to pick two elephants.  They are a great to practice this technique with because the greys are fairly easy to blend.   Check out this cutie.  He is celebrating that we are half-way through the week!!

Roses- No Line

Welcome back!

This week we are celebrating a week free of lines!   For my second card I chose another flower, but the sections are a little more complicated.  I also chose a family group that is a little more difficult to blend.   I think this rose would great in reds or pinks too!

Poppies-- with and without lines

Hello all,

I have a whole week planned of No Line coloring.  I've fallen in love with the technique.  I love the soft look of the finished images.   If you are new to this... don't get discouraged if you first few attempts don't go as you hoped.  It takes some practice.  If you want some tips check out my new
No Line DVD class.

I'm starting with the easiest of the cards....  I counted this as easy because there is no hair in this card!  The shapes are also pretty easy, so you can focus on the technique, rather than complicated flicks.

Copics used:
Red: R59, R39, R29, R24, R14, R05, R02-- You don't need to use all of these.  You could simply this to R39, R29, R24
Green: YG63, YG67

I also colored this one with lines so you can see the difference.  The photos above have a much softer look than the ones below.  They are both great... just different.
