Yes, I know... it seems like I always have to have a sketch, I really don't!

The deadline date and time is today at 10pm CST! So come on over and join the fun!


The second challenge that this was (notice "was") entered in is at The Latte Lounge. It was for their challenge... "Red, White, And Pink". The deadline was last night at 11pm CST!

Once again, in order to take part in this challenge you must be a member of the group. The challenges here are learning challenges and loads of fun! You really are practicing different technique's or color combo's with your copic markers. So if you are "Addicted To Copic's", you may want to become a member and play along!
