It is another "no-lines" colouring primarily in Copic with a little bit of pencil enhancement to assist with some of the finer, fiddlier details that I just love to add.
To achieve the softer no-lines look I printed Mo Manning's digital stamp using Apple Pages and reduced the opacity of Peaches to 20%, thus printing the image in pale grey rather than the usual black. The same sort of effect can be achieved using Word or a similar program.
When you add colour to your printed image the lines are less obvious enabling you to create a much more delicate, realistic piece of work, but I strongly advise you to print the image out in black on spare paper so you have something to refer to as you colour. Trust me, it will save your sanity - it is very easy to get lost, or add something that's not there when the lines start to disappear under your ink!!
The scenery elements in the background were drawn by hand to create a complete picture rather than have Peaches floating in blank space. My favourite bit has to be the daisies in the foreground, they're basically round dots clustered together using colourless blender to remove some of the green. I then added a little shadow and yellow centres to give the impression of daisies - really easy to do and they can quickly add depth and interest to your work!

Beautiful, just beautiful. You do wonderful work.
This is very beautiful Jane. I love how you do the eyes and the shading around them. The no lines look makes it so much more like a little painting. Had a lot of fun going through your blog and am now a follower. Beautiful work.
I could stare at this lovely work of art all day, Jane! Your colouring really is exemplary - the little girl could walk right off those daisies and come skipping across my desk and I can almost smell that peach!!! Lovely, lovely work! Hugs, Lesley
I adore this image and how you've brought it to life. How wonderful!
Love how you've done the daisies. I'm going to try that.
