Fairy Skin in Alcohol Markers (Greyscale and Purple)

                                                   

 These lovely fairies came from two tutorials by Karen Campbell for Awesome Art School. She was testing paper quality for using with alcohol markers.

I wanted to do these tutorials to improve my skill in using Copic Markers. I've had these markers a long time, but felt more practice using Karen's techniques would improve the quality of my work. I used X-Press It Blending Card for both pieces, which I've had also for a long time. I wanted to use it up for the practice.

The paper I used is actually made for use with Copic Markers. I really enjoyed working on the fairies and the paper worked fine. Karen was also successful using her markers and paper. I do have the paper she prefers, but wanted to use the X-Press It. 

I love how each fairy came out!
