I posted recently that I’d gotten back into Copic markers and gave a sneak peek of my Copic drawing. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to work on that drawing for a while because I was waiting for the delivery of a new gray marker that I had bought. I will finish it though (eventually)!
I thus finished the one below first. It’s from a photo of a shed in my backyard. I used this website to turn the photo into line art that I could use to color in. I’m pretty happy with the way it turned out!
Also, this is the first of a series of scheduled posts that I’ve written. What with the semester starting next month, I wanted to pace myself so that this blog wouldn’t be abandoned yet again. You can expect posts every two weeks for a while. I hope this will help my efforts to resuscitate my blog!

That looks great – I hadn’t thought of using a photo as line art for Copic colouring, it works really well.
Thank you so much! I think I read about the idea on the Copic website and thought it was a good idea 🙂
I haven’t tried Copic markers yet. Just started using watercolor markers and micron pens. Will add to my wish list. By the way…very nice!
Thank you very much!! I do think they’re a nice art supply to have 🙂
Interesting concept. Converting a photo to line art. In creating such art, it’s important to use one’s own photo. I use Photoshop Elements and there is a technique for creating a similar thing. Very nice job on the coloring. I like the values and textures you’ve created.
Thank you! I’m not an incredible sketcher, so this process did save me time and effort since I wanted to concentrate on coloring anyway.
Wow, the lighting in the tree is marvellous
Thank you so much!! 🙂 I’m glad you like it!
