The Daily Marker challenge 11-15

Another five days of colouring. As well as using my Copics again — and even doing another lesson in the Autumn Scenes mini course — I also did my first bit of coloured pencil work in a long time and even got out my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. https://www.instagram.com/p/BY6Js3AgEV-/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BY8xVwAAflZ/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BY_Itjng3dS https://www.instagram.com/p/BZBp1bygnl0/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BZEhe2UA2r_/
