Series: The Daily Marker Art Card #26 I’ve reached that point in the Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge where the colour-picking bit of my brain is starting to struggle; I am trying hard to avoid falling back on standard colour choices, especially for critters. My first instinct for this was to do a ginger kitty,… Continue reading Horace & Boo
Series: The Daily Marker Art Card #14 There are ten Polkadoodles "darling buds" flower girls in total and I picked up the complete set when they came out.
