It is time for a new challenge at Happy Little Stampers Sketch Challenge. Here is the sketch we have for you this month:
I went in a totally new different direction for me with this sketch--no stamps! While I was thinking about this sketch, I saw a couple of videos on the Daily Marker blog. My head was spinning with ideas for lines and eyelashes. Without looking at the sketch a second time, I started drawing lines and coloring shapes with my Copic markers.
I drew all the vertical lines first, varying the space between lines. Then I drew horizontal lines connecting the vertical lines at random intervals. After all the lines were drawn, I started coloring, just eyeballing where the colors should go. The only rule I tried to follow was that adjacent spaces should not have the same color. After all my coloring was done, I drew in the tiny eyelash lines.
This is the first card I made using Kathy's line techniques as inspiration, but it is the second card I have posted. Please click here to see the second card I made using this technique and posted a few weeks ago.
Please visit the Happy Little Stampers Sketch Challenge blog for more ideas and inspiration for this sketch. I hope you will play along. You have the entire month of September.
Thanks for Visiting
