Welcome back for this weeks i {heart} sketches challenge!

 

 

I went 'outside my comfort zone' in coloring this image. I love my Gamsol and colored pencils, but have a bunch of markers laying around that I just never seem to use. So, I thought I would give my Memento markers a try this time. The Gamsol is a little more forgiving in blending the colors - at least I think. I always seem to go 'too far' when coloring w/my markers. So I hope you like it :)
