How Sweet You Are

I'm combining a couple of challenges with this one.  As You Like It asks whether you lines or no lines when you color--umm, yes, lines please!  I find it difficult to shade sufficiently without the lines. I do wonder how this little girl would do without lines tho.  I wish there was a way to remove the lines after the fact--LOL.  I was also inspired by Just Us Girls photo inspiration.  It totally reminded me of country living and growing up on the farm.  We raised rabbits for a time, chickens, and geese (so mean!).  There was also a paddock for sheep although we didn't have any.

I was excited to be trying my hand at coloring denim.  Love how her jeans turned out.  Someday when I have more Copics I'll recolor her with a lighter scheme and try that thing where you use the blending solution and old jeans to give the illusion of real denim.  I also tried out my new Sharpie white oil-based pigment pen. I wouldn't recommend it.  I get better coverage with my Sakura pen.
