I love it when we get a new Claire Keay image at MFT! This is "Funny Bunny"! Perfect for this time of year as we are approaching Easter....I know, EASTER!
I colored up this darling image with my copics while demoing at the booth at CHA....now I finally get to show it to you! The bunny was colored using some cool grays and a few BV's (if my memory recalls). I added some spots to the outside using the YR family.
It is a little tricky coloring up an image before deciding on patterned paper....but I seem to have enough of a stash that I could probably color almost any color and have papers to match....lol!
I cut his little ears "out of the box" and gave them a bit of a curl with my fingers to add a little dimension.

Your card is just adorable and I absolutely love how you colored your little bunny image.
I would love to see a tutorial on how you did this image, especially the little dots of color that you added. I am seeing this more and more and would love to do it as well.

I LOVE the bunny! You can't get cuter than this! As for Copics, I would love to see tutorials on coloring hair-something I STILL have trouble with.
THUD!!!! That funny bunny is perfect! How exciting to have the 2 new ladies on the team. I love their work. I would love to see a video tutorial so I can watch you do the dotted backgrounds. You know...sometimes watching someone do coloring in action helps old people like me understand it better ;) hee hee hee. Thanks for the chance at winning some tape. I would love to try it!
Id like to see a video on colouring leaves. I have trouble maintaining highlights and making them look realistic.
I'd love a video on how to shadow images. I have trouble figuring out where they need to be.
I LOVE all the coloring you did to this little bunny!! I still haven't mastered this technique yet....I tend to want to blend the colors too much. I love how his ears are outside the box and that you curled them a little....gives them a realistic dimension!!
A tutorial on this type of "dotted" coloring would be FANTASTIC!! And teach us "over-blenders" what not to do. :O)
So cute, Sherrie!

Hi Sherrie, great card. I just love this bunny set.

Fur, Fur, Fur! I have a hard time coloring Fred Bear to look like I want. I've tried the colorless blender saturating a fabric, but he came out with lines, & the copics bled outside the lines. Not what I wanted. Thanks for the chance, & I do love the new Funny Bunny stamp!
I would like to see a tutorial on coloring African American skin tone.
Love the colouring of the Bunny and how you create the dotted background...
A tutorial consisting of tips for newbies would be good for those of us who just discovered the joy of Copics.

I need a tutorial on how to make a realistic sky. I haven't really seen anything that looks simple, yet realistic. Your cards are so adorable! I'm really going to have to look at the MFT site again. Haven't been there is awhile.
oh my gosh, I so love what you did with Claire's little bunny! since I am such a copic newbie, I love your step by step coloring guides to Copics. they really help me a lot. :)
Hmmm, a tutorial I'd like to see is shading faces. So many images leave out noses or just use dots for eyes and I find myself trying to add these features in with my shading.
Would like to see tutorials on
blending/shading
Skin tones
highlighting how-to
I would love to see a tutorial on skies & clouds.
I'd love to see a tutorial on ski tones but more pecific faces and how to add depth,
Thanks so much for the class Saturday in Edmonton. , it was great

Hmm... what kind of tutorial - I love the speed drawings - seeing all the colours that go into a creation ... but I love the concept of how you shadow and light source... it really makes the image pop if you can understand that.
thanks for the chance to win!
