Good morning and welcome to a very special blog hop! I am excited to announce my participation and publication in the latest book in the series, the Copic Coloring Guide, Level 4: Fine Details!
Authors Colleen Schaan and Marianne Walker have partnered up again with the team at Annie’s and some of the most talented artists and designers in the industry to bring you a quality publication packed full of techniques, theory, tutorials, and inspiration. The 64-page book is the latest in the Coloring Guide series, offering information and educational material for crafters of all skill levels.
From light source to shading and shadows, to mixing mediums and tackling detailed images, this book shows how to take your coloring up one notch further… by focusing on the fine details. All of the information is presented in an easy-to-follow format.
An included CD contains all of the hand-drawn images used in the tutorial section of the book, along with the assembly instructions for all of the projects.
Each participating designer is hopping today to give you a peak at their favorite project from the book - and a chance to WIN your own autographed copy!
I could not be ANY more excited to have a number of my projects featured in this book! ...and that hollyhocks card on the front cover? It's mine...squeeee! (Pinch me!) Here's another one of my favorites from the book:
To help kick off the celebration of the new book... each designer on
the hop is giving away an autographed copy of the book...signed not
only by Colleen and Marianne, but by the individual designer too!
Please comment on this post for your chance to win your copy of mine.
I'll be running my give-away through 12am EST on Sunday, June 30th; so you have just SIX DAYS to get your name in the running! The winner will be announced right here on Sunday afternoon. Stop by the rest of the designers' blogs for more chances to win:
