MARKER + PENCIL

You’ve tried tons of tutorials. You’ve taken all the classes

And yet your coloring still doesn’t look mature, professional, or realistic?

 COLOR LIKE AN ARTIST

Can I be honest?

What you’re doing right now? The step-by-step tuts and nifty coloring hacks?

That’s the stuff holding you back!

The truth is, you’re already using the same tools and many of the same techniques professional artists use when we draw, paint, and color…

The difference is what’s going on between your ears.

To color like an artist,

You’ve gotta think like an artist.

BEYOND BEGINNER BLENDING

 HELLO, I’M AMY

Markers and colored pencils are my jam.

I teach fine art techniques to colorists just like you.

You’re closer to realism than you think.

The problem is, colorists are taught a series of shortcuts. Easy hacks are the reason your coloring looks dimensional but not realistic.

  • You’re using someone else’s blending combination

  • Waiting for them to tell you where to shade

  • And nobody explains why

The why is why you’re stuck waiting for the next project release or YouTube video.

I want to help you off the tutorial merry-go-round!
