Kit & Clowder

Many of you know that I'm a HUGE fan of Alyce Keegan from Kit & Clowder. She has helped me to unlock my skills when it comes to colouring. I was recently given some Prismacolor Pencils for my birthday and started the Perfect Pencils class. This is the first project created in that class and the first time I used my pencils.

Alyce also runs monthly colouring classes for both markers and pencils. Here are some of the past classes from this year. So many different techniques are used and explained throughout each class too. If you want to get the most out of your colouring I implore you to check out what she has to offer!
