Series: The Daily Marker Art Card #13 Raccoons are mostly grey, metal bins are grey, I figured I might as well do the whole image in greyscale and just make the apple red for a pop of colour. When I picked the words to go with this one, I was originally thinking that he was… Continue reading Raccoon in a bin

The only thing I did out of the ordinary was to add texture to the background by dabbing lightly and repeatedly with a small… Continue reading Coneflowers
Series: The Daily Marker Art Card #07 For this one, I returned to my default, bold, Copic colouring style, taking extra care with the shading.
