Fun In The Sun

I can't believe it's almost the end of the month and therefore almost the end of Kathy Racoosin's The Daily Marker 30 Day 2 Challenge. It has really kept me motivated to colour almost every day of June.

I have been practicing my Copic colouring and think I've been getting better. The image I coloured today is the best hair I've coloured.

Here is the image I coloured. I added glossy accents to the goggles.

I cute the coloured image out leaving a small white border around the image. It's not something I've done before but I think it turned out pretty good.
