Rinky Dink PINK!!

Oh yes!  A Mo Manning Challenge - and it's PINK & GIRLY - could it get any better.  Not from where I'm typing (my art studio is seriously pink - hey, can you blame me, I am the only girl in the house & this is my space)



This particular image made me smile the first time I saw it.  How many of us have had fun with balloons & the static they can produce!!  My hair was really fine as a child, so even pulling off a sweater would have this effect!!!

I had a blast colouring this one, using a combination of both Copics & Caran D'Ache pencils.  I suspect you'll be seeing alot more pencil work in the future - finding that sketch book has stimulated the old mojo......


I remembered to keep track of the Copics, but I goofed with regard to the pencils - sorry.

Good luck to everyone entering the competition.

She is so funny! Love it. Jane I'm amazed at how many copics you use on your projects. I really need to take art courses. Have you ever thought of teaching coloring basics on line for a fee?
