Birthdays Are For (Cup)Cake!



I made this card for a friend's birthday. When I went to adjust the photo for posting, I noticed that the bow looks a bit wonky. I was practicing with my copics trying to make this little guy look like he has fur. What do you think? Does he look furry or just spotty?

Thank you for looking!

I think it definitely looks like he has fur!!!
Do you get Linda Heaven's blog posts? She's an AMAZING copic colorer. She does great stuff with hair too and making it look realistic!
Is that a guilt-free cupcake? I'm ready to take a bite :)
