Copic Colouring: Pumpkins

Fall is coming...

Yesterday I cleaned my furnace and vent filters and this morning I set up the thermostat for the furnace to come on in the mornings.  It's getting colder and colder every morning since the kids started back at school.

I really don't mind fall.  There are lots of great colours and fun things to do in the fall - including celebrate my birthday!

One of the iconic images of fall is pumpkins.

I have this old pumpkin patch stamp from Great Impressions and it's one of my favourite fall themed images to colour.



There are so many Copic colour combos to colour something simple like a pumpkin.

I used this image to help me create a reference sheet for my swatch book for colouring pumpkins.


 Here are some close ups:



And here are a few combinations to help you colour your pumpkin images.
