MARKER+ PENCIL
the art beyond blending
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 many of the same tools and techniques professional artists use…
The difference is what’s going on between your ears.
To color like an artist,
You’ve gotta think like an artist.

There’s a big ol’ world out there
BEYOND BEGINNER BLENDING
HELLO, I’M AMY
Markers and colored pencils are my thing.
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 bunch 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 missing Why keeps you totally dependent upon step-by-step instructions. You feel lost without ‘em.
Let’s get off the tutorial merry-go-round and color like an artist!
