Beary Messy

Beary Messy3.

Well here we are into May already. I can't believe how fast time goes by.. It is time for all the bears in the mountains to come out of their hibernation..:)  This one is from a set called  Beary Messy from Mo's Digital Pencil.  I went way out of my comfort zone on this.  

 
Beary Messy2.

I wanted to try something different.  I colored my fur with lots of little line strokes with my copics.  Then I carefully colored and dotted around the image for a more dramatic effect.  The challenge this week at Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge BLog is to use a monochromatic theme.  I kept my colors mostly browns.  This took a really long time and I layered my colors many times.  I like the look of the purples and brown together. 

BIG NEWS...We are looking for a new Guest Designer for next month... Create a card with a Mo image and follow the challenge them.  Then upload to the challenge blog with GD behind our name if you are interested in creating along with the team..
