Colouring tutorial

Good morning my friends :)

I have made a tutorial showing how to colour our lovely Teddy Bo and Bea images with Copic Markers.
I love my markers and I normally colour every day as I find it so relaxing :)

I know some of you colour from light to dark with Copic, but I do it from dark to light as I find it easyer :)

Ok here we go!!

Pick the image you want to use.

My choice is TeddyBo_194 and I have printed it out on Perfect Colouring paper

Find out where your light is coming from.

Mine comes from left and that will be my lightest side on the image

Lay down your darkest colour where it is supposed to be most shadow

My darkest colour is E44

Use your next colour and go over a bit to blend the colours together

I have used E43 as my next colour

Same goes with the next colour.

Here I have used E42

And now cover the rest with your lightest colour.

I use E41. After that I go over everything with YR 000 to get more depth to the colouring before I repeat from the beginning with the darkest colour until I am happy with the depth. Remember to blend proper in every step and always end with E41

Gjenta samme prosedyre på resten av pelsen fra mørk til lys.

Do the same with the whole Teddy Bo image, from dark to light.

Here you see the image is finished and we are ready to give Teddy Bo's fur some structure.

Use some drops of colourless blender on an old piece of cloth and let it soak in.

Dott carefully over the whole image until you are satisfied. Let dry.

This is how Teddy Bo looked after his colouring and fur treatment :)

And here he is completly coloured up and ready to use on your card
