So we decided to bring back some tried and true tips and tricks from the Vanilla Arts archives!
This week we look at why size matters…..are we too hard on ourselves because we are trying to color too small?
There are no magic shortcuts to better coloring...
But there are small…
“Do I color like a beginner?” It can be hard to determine where you fit because it’s possible for someone to color for years with Copic Markers or colored pencils and still be a beginner. I know that sounds crazy but if you’re never presented with upper level techniques and if you never color anything but simple stamps for small cards, it doesn’t matter how long you’ve been coloring, you still have beginner skills.
Try underpainting E43 with BV20 to successfully simulate lifelike shadows in these pretty peonies. The natural “color shattering” which occurs with any of the BV markers will bring to light beautiful nuances of blues, turquoises and violets. | VanillaArts.com | #copicmarker #realisticcoloring #underpainting
