The 'Amazing' Book!

Morning all - what another beautiful day it is here today - yesterday the weather got so hot I couldnt open my pens! Now thats bad!!! Well I have finally got around to looking at the other book from MIC and WOW oh WOW! What I have learnt! 

OK but I have to start with a little news.. Zoe was offering the set of 6 new digis to three lucky winners if you shared what you learnt by using the book... and I was one that won! 

I have them printed and cant wait to start but I will share this post first!!! ohh and I will share them - if you like them you should pop over to the MIC store and grab them!!!  

OK so back to the 'book' I have never been brave enough to try using one colour and grey... I have heard about it but didn't know where to start.. but I tried and although I'm not over impressed with the results it is something I will try again because it is practice!  But this book has helped me so much with blending more than one colour, I was so impressed with the results and have been putting it into practice - and I cant wait to practice more!!! 

Now I have put the two side by side - to the left is the blending more than one colour and the right is the once colour with greys . 

 I know the photo is not the greatest as I have been colouring at night I appear to be taking my photos under the worse light ever!!!  and yes I said I needed lots more work with the one colour and greys.  But I thought i would and should share anyway!

Well I hope I may have inspired you to buy the Shading Book if you haven't already and remember you can buy both and get a discount!!!

Hope to see you soon

Something you may find interesting!

Morning all, well after a grey morning this afternoon is turning out rather beautiful, still got so much to do... we need to get hubby a suit for tomorrow and all sorts! But I have 'spent' my time somewhat wisely I think this morning. 

After browsing facbook yesterday I came across an interesting picture from Make it Crafty.  

So as you can guess I had to go and investigate as I would love to improve my technique(s)! 

So after a few questions - and no using my common sense I came across the booklets over at the MIC store - I just had to have them! I printed the 'Colouring Techniques' off strait away and couldn't wait to get started.  I purposely printed the booklet off on 'normal paper' so I made myself read what was written first! and then went back and printed out the pages to colour on... this is what I created! 

The photo was taken while it was very overcast this morning! But I have learnt so much - different ways of holding the pens, and I even went 'outside the box' on colours as - Well I wasn't scared! After I finished these I suddenly remembered there was another technique I wanted to try.  I have seen loads of people doing it and never had the 'oomph' to try as I never quite got where to start... but i'm so glad I tried! 

OK so I haven't started on the 2nd booklet yet, I want to try a bit harder with the first before challenging myself to take too much into my lil brain at once! 

Well I hope you will pop over to the MIC store and take a look at the books - they are AMAZING and well worth the money! I think anyone could learn a tip or two from it! 

Hope to see you again soon! 

Hugs
