This book is jam-packed with uber-cool techniques that help you take your coloring from good to great! The 64-page book is the latest in the Coloring Guide series, offering information and educational material for crafters of all skill levels.
From light source to shading and shadows, to mixing mediums and tackling detailed images, this book shows how to take your coloring up one notch further… by focusing on the fine details. I know that I was challenged coloring some of the tutorial images, but these simple to follow directions will make the process easy for you. I know you will love it!
You can print each tutorial on your own paper and work along with the book, using the included CD of images.
I
have a really neat card included in the book. This is one of my
all-time favorite images I have ever drawn for papercrafting. But, it can be tricky to color. Lucky for you, to color it I used a
lot of techniques that are discussed in the book. Little things that
will make your image jump! The color scheme on this card is so simple
and vibrant...I love it! I like simple, bold designs. Today, each contributing designer is hopping along to give you a peak at their favorite project from the book - and a chance to WIN your own autographed copy!
To help kick off the celebration of the new book... each designer on the hop is giving away an autographed copy of the book...signed not only by Colleen and myself, but by the individual designer too (I guess if you win my copy, it will only be signed by Colleen and myself).

Thank you for the opportunity to win the 4th book. Your talent is amazing and can't wait to see the book in person.
Very beautiful card. I would love to have this book, as I do have other Annie's Copic Coloring Books. I am rusty at doing copic shading, as all my card making supplies have been stashed away for a little over two years with our busy lifes of building our own home. We are now in, but have lots of outside projects to finish, so card making is on the back burner, as our summer is so short and the snow will be flying soon.
Love the farm scenes. Great job coloring. Congrats on being in the book. Thanks for the chance to win.
Marianne, what can I say? You are the queen of Copic coloring. I took my first Copic class with you in Anaheim a few years ago. Since that time I have grown to love my Copics. Your card is awesome. Thanks for the chance to win an autographed copy.
Oh I love this card Marianne. I guess I could dream of coloring like that. I'd love to win the book because I really need it. Thanks for the chance.
Like all of the DT members, your coloring is FABULOUS! I would really love a copy of this book and CD. They would have a great home and a daily workout!

Marianne, congratulations on the release of your 4th book. After going through the hop and seeing the amazing talent of the artists, I can't wait to get this guide in my hands. I consider myself a beginner when it comes to coloring with copics and can only hope that I become half as good as you and the other talented ladies. I love scenery images but tend to be intimidated by them with all the intricacies of the image. I'm so glad you shared this barn scene and look forward to learning how to make the image "jump". :) Thank you for putting out this book and the chance at winning it.
Wow...this is stunning! Congrats to both you and Colleen & thank you for helping all of us out here with our colouring. Very grateful. Thank you for the opportunity. I would proudly have it on my table in my craft studio. Thanks again. Hugz, Lisa.

I'm new to Copic markers, and evidently have so much to learn. However, I'm already so in love with them and trying to figure out a way to afford a larger sample of them. lol
Your card is just beautiful. I'd love to win the book to pick up some tricks and tips.
Very nice work, love the sky!
