I'd always thought that my colouring was good however as I'm self taught I knew there were so many things, tips and tricks I've yet to learm/master. I've recently been introduced to an extremely talented lady by the name of Alyce Keegan who is the brains behind Kit and Clowder. She is a superb colour artist and has some amazing technique classes on her forum. If anyone is wanting to expand their skills with alcohol markers then I suggest that you book into one of her classes (classes run online in your own time with great downloadable detailed tutorial booklets, exercise sheets, videos and personal feedback to boot!)
Stamps: CC Designs Sugarplums Polka Dot Emma, Kaszazz Sentiment & Frangipani
Copics: Skin: E000 E00 E21 E11 BV31 R20

Bathing Suit: B01 B02 B04
Papers: Kaszazz Frangipani, cardstock

And here is a comparison of the same stamp but using the Kit & Clowder technique. Such a difference in just 2 workshop lessons (and there are 8 for both the Skin & Hair class and the Clothing class, with more courses to come too).
