Copic Marker & colored pencil: "Fair Isle Stocking"

Texture, texture, texture...

Most crafters love the smooth blending effects that Copic Markers offer.

But life is full of texture. The first step to adding realism to your images is to admit that smooth blending is not appropriate for every single stamp image you color. Real life is full of lumpy, bumpy, and craggy surfaces.

Knit objects are one of those stamps that look so much better with texture. 

Fair Isle Stocking was a class offered to my live class students in December 2016.
