This is it! The day I've been waiting for... the day I've dreamed about... the day I can celebrate!
I am officially an author!
I'm so proud to announce The Copic Coloring Guide... a go-to guide for Copic users! Whether you are completely new to the markers or you have been using them for years, this book contains wonderful and informational tutorials and projects for every skill level.
I paired up with Marianne Walker and together we share our combined knowledge and love of Copic Markers. Included in the book are step-by-step tutorials explaining the numbering system, how to pick good blending groups, how to blend using a variety of techniques, and how to use that mysterious colorless blender. Also included are over 40 card projects with easy to follow, step-by-step coloring and assembly instructions... from some of the most talented color artists in the business.
Here's a sneak peek of one of my FAVORITE projects from the book... (It is so hard to pick a favorite... there are so many awesome samples- but I just love the texture on these two adorable little cuties! - Image by Whipper Snapper Designs)
I want to thank Tanya Fox, our Editor Extraordinaire, for jumping in with both feet on this project and for being willing to take a chance on a new author and for truly making it the most amazing experience I've ever had. I want to thank DRG for supporting our efforts and for being as excited about the project as we were. I want to thank Marianne for saying YES when I asked her to join me on this journey... and for being an amazing friend as well. I want to thank the superbly talented group of designers who shared their work in the book - you are my inspiration! I want to thank YOU... my friends, students, fellow artists who all have cheered my successes and shared in my frustrations along my journey. And lastly, I want to thank my husband Nate... without whom I could not breath. You are my very soul. Thank you.
(Phew... I feel like Sally Fields giving her acceptance speech... LOL)
The book is now shipping and is available (or will be in a matter of days) at a store near you.
