Hello everyone!
I’m back to share some brown inspiration! Once a month, I post a card featuring one colour family on the Copic Marker Europe blog and I picked Es for today.
There are 30 E Ciao and 53 E Sketch Markers, a very large collection for tons of combinations. My card today uses 13 E markers, E000, 00, 04, 11, 33, 40, 41, 43, 57, 59, 71, 77, 79 and no other colours. Here is my final card:
Stamps: Flirty Anya – The Greeting Farm
Colouring: Copic sur Make it Colour Blending Card
Dies: Spellbinders
DPs: Bo Bunny
You can see the whole colouring process below:
There are lots of techniques in this video, of course colouring skin and hair, creating a simple background suggesting a wall behind a character, rendering shadow and light, and using the tip to tip technique to create a “middle” colour:
That’s what I did for the dress – E71 and E77 being too far apart, I took colour from the nib of my E77 with my E71, so that I would have a smooth transition between the 2 colours, as if I were creating a new colour, equivalent to E74. It’s a very convenient technique if you don’t own all Copic markers, or if one of your markers needs to be refilled 😉
Here is a close up on the image and the list of all Copics I used:
