I Like Markers: Coloring a flower girl

http://ilikemarkers.blogspot.com/2015/06/coloring-flower-girl.html

Thursday, June 4, 2015. Coloring a flower girl. Last week I had the pleasure of coloring all afternoon at a demo. It's so relaxing to just sit and color. sigh. I wish life gave us all more opportunities to just sit and color. Can you imagine how much nicer everyone would be if they spent an hour each day coloring? Anyways, while I was at the demo I colored this flower image you can download from the Copic website. Many of the flower images I drew to match tutorials found in the Coloring Flowers with Copic.
