I love this little bunny stamp relaxing in the hot tub.

I have colored this using the Magic Color Pencil Technique (a.k.a. MCPT).  This technique can be found in this earlier post.

These are the colors I used for the hot tub.  I’m also coloring on a shimmer paper and because it has a coating on it the Copic markers sit on top of the paper and when you look the coloring up close it will look a little blotchy; however, when on a card or layout at the regular distance they look blended.

I used E00 first and colored the hot tub all over, then with E11, I started building my shading.  Following the shading that came with the stamp.

I used E33 next and then followed again with E00.  Next comes E37 and E09, then blending with E00 again.  I used E09 on the bands to give the hot tub a little definition so all the wood would not look the same.

I decided to color the bunny in shades of gray so she wouldn’t blend in with the hot tub.

W1, W3 and W7 are a warm shade of gray and this compliments the warm brown shades I used on the hot tub.

Use W1 all over the bunnies body and then start building the depth with W3.  The W7 is used sparingly because it is really dark, but it enhances the areas like the inner ear and under the neck, along the upper tummy and where the feet overlap.

R81 and R85 are the final colors that I used to enhance the checks, ear, tummy and nose.

I first used R81 to color the areas and then used R85 sparingly to add a little depth.

I took a multi-liner and drew in the mouth and gave her some eyelashes.

Oh, I think she is relaxing and you know that hot tub is just the right temperature.
