Girl power tea party!

This art was matted and framed to 16×20” done with Copic markers on Bristol smooth.

All of these animals have strong females.

This is destined for a little girls room so I wanted to draw it in the theme of a tea party. the orca is in the tea pot, the elephant in the tea cups, bees around the honey, lioness with the petite fours, and an octopus with the tea sandwiches.

In drawing these I have found I really want to try some tea sandwiches. I’ll have to get some gf white bread soon.

PT 1 – Some Copic colors don’t scan

I work w Copic markers and I love them so much. However, I have found some markers don’t scan well which makes sense cause of things like highlighter yellow. If you don my know highlighters don’t scan intentionally so you can copy documents without the yellow color showing up on them scan.

RV & Y are most often the colors that don’t scan so I have made a grid of the markers I own.

RV04 & Y06 glow under black light which is cool but can mess w a piece if you are highlighting parts w black light and the yellow or pink are not the colors you want to glow.

Progressive Pride Piggy

I’ve got to spray it with the UV coating but it will be at IndyFurCon (unless someone msg’s me and buys it first). If there are original art pieces you want to make sure I have at IFC for you to see in person for chance to buy than you should msg me.

This on is copic marker of Bristol Vellum. It will be framed to 16×20” in a white frame.

Paper Review: Blicks Bristol Vellum

When I was at Dick Blick’s picking up paper I wasn’t able to find my usual over sized paper. So I grabbed the Blick’s brand.

I rather like it.

Feathering (how much the ink travels sideways in the paper)- almost none. Could put down several layers of ink before it started to spread. Even with red- awesome

Bleeding (how much the ink goes through the paper)- the ink was just starting to go through the paper when I finished my art. – decent.

Texture (does the paper have a texture that may impact the piece) – This paper is completely smooth. – no texture

Overall. I like this paper. I will continue to use it. I might not use it for single sided badges because I can see it on the back and I like my badges to either be two sided or not.

Cost – $11.79 + tax 11”x17” size 15 sheets
