Cheeky Geeky

Hi Everyone

Welcome to a wonderful Friday.

We are continuing on with the challenge ........

COPIC MULTILINERS

I have used these pens quite alot as they work wonderfully with my Copic Markers.

I use them for outlining images and pages, drawing, fixing rub-ons etc.

For today's inspiration I have used the 0.3 multi-liner to fix a digital image I printed then cut with my electronic cutter.

Unfortunately the cutter cut the black edge off the image.

Never mind though, I fixed it with the Copic multiliner.

This is the original image, the black outside line of the image has been cut off.

This is the image after the multiliner.

This is the coloured image.

I have put it into my colour reference book.

Copics Used:

Skin: E0000. E000, E00, E11, R20, Molotow

Pants: B91, B93, B95, B97

Shirt & Hat: R22, R24, R27, R29, R46, R59

Shoes: T3, T5, T8, T10

Cardstock: B93, B95, B97

R24, R27, R29

Outline: Copic Multiliner Black 0.3

Don't forget to stop by the Mad for Markers Online store for all your supplies.

Have a great weekend

Until next time
