You Are What You Eat....



Good morning Copic friends, today is my turn to make a blogpost. I have made an art journal page and used a funny image by Bloobels. 


I always start with the skin colours first, the E50, BV00, E00 and E000.


Add a layer of E50. 


Add shadow with the BV00.


Add the E00 on the layer of BV00  to create a warm skin tone.


Blend all layers together with the E000.


The clothes and her eyes will be blue, I start with using the B04. 


Add the B06 as a shadow colour. . 


USe the B18 as your darkest shadow colour. 


Blend all layers together with B04. 


The R21 is a nice colour for her mouth. 


I used the E04 as a shadow in her mouth. 


Blend the layers together with R21. 


I use the Copic nr. 100 to colour the pupils black and add BV00 as a shadow in her eyes/ 


The rest of her cloths will be orange. Orange is a great colour to use next to blue, they make each other pop. I start with YR04.


Add shadows with YR09. 


Blend the YR09 with YR07.


Blend all layers together with YR04. 


Oranges have a rough skin so I use the blender to get this effect. I make little dots in the previously added layers. 


The pears will be green and I start with YG11. 


As a shadow I use the YG17. 


Blend with YG13. 


I use the YG21, G20 and G24 to change the colour of the pears, because I thought they were too green. 


Use the E47 for the stems.


The bananas are coloured with Y13, Y23,Y26 and YR21. 


For the cherries I am using  R35, R37 and R39. 


The red of the plums will be a deeper and darker red using the  R37, R89 and RV99 .


The pineapple has a lot of colours: 
YG17, Y15, Y13, E79, E77 and E74. 


And her hairs will be blue using the B04, B06, B18 and B39. 


I add some washi tape on the background and add a nice quote too and now my page is finished. 

I wish you all a healthy, happy and creative 2020.

Hugs

Winter Fun


Hello everyone! It's Delphine here today to share some Christmas inspiration, with a simple winter scene. For my scene, I used a Penny Black stamp from the Festive Frolic set. I stamped it in Memento Tuxedo Black then die cut it with a Lawn Fawn die to be able to frame my image and visualize my scene.


I started with the sky, drawing the limit / hill in BG000. For a change, I went for a pastel orangy sky inspired by sky colours at sunset. I coloured from left to right and right to left making horizontal lines in BG000, V000 and YR000. 


For a bit of interest, I added trees behind my hill line. I coloured from dark to light, "drawing" pine needles in G29, then blending a bit using YG17 and a bit of YG03. For the trees further in the distance, I skipped the G29. At last, I also used BV000 to add a "horizon" in the distance. 


I then coloured the bear in Warm Greys - W0, 1, 3, 5 - and R20. I "drew" the hair from the fur going from dark to light.


Next I coloured the little penguin and sleigh (see colours below).


I then focussed on the details, you know the details that make a difference ;), adding marks in the snow, a shadow under the bear, and colouring some of the white of the hill using B000 and V20.
As a final step, I added snow in the trees and snowflakes using a Molotow acrylic paint marker. 


Here is the final image, with a sentiment.

Copics used:
Sky: BG000, V000, YR000
Trees: G29, YG03, 17
Bear: R20, W0, 1, 3, 5
Penguin: BV25, 29, Y38 - C2, 4, R35, 39 (hat)
Sleigh: C2, 4, E31, 34, 37
Snow: B000, V20


Thank you very much for your visit, have a lovely holiday season everyone! Hugs,
Delphine xx
