Cicci makes a Cup-cake

 Hi copic Lovers 

Cicci here posting from Sweden. Today Im going to make a cup-cake. 

First Im going to talk about some great things I learned from my father who was an full time artist. He died 2019 and its a big hole without him of course!! 

The little things I know about painting and coloring I have learned from him. Two things he always said about painting was:

-Never use Black!! Its a dead color and it makes your coloring look dirty- so never black!! Use instead dark blue or dark brown. Thats a great thing to know and I always think of him when I do colorings that looks like black. But I never use it. 

The next thing was...

-Always use white in your coloring!! Where you but the white its not the most important-Just use it. 

He also show me how to make paintings with dots. Im going to do this dots when I color the cake so its not so much blending in that part.

Step 1

Draw a Cup-cake

Step 2

Here I use greys and browns for the colors 

thats make the depth in the candy

C3 and E25

Step 3

Add R14 over the brown 

And add E21 over the grey

Step 4

Add R24 for the brown

and now it looks like red instead of brown ;0)

So for the depth using red colors you can use brown

And

YR31 and C0 for the grey one

The grey colors works at the same way 

for this skin and lighter colors

 as the brown working good with red colors

Step 5

Add a dark E47 in the edges of 

the brown candy

Step 6

Add E233 and blend a little

Step 7

Add Y26 for the other one

Step 8

Add Y28

Step 9

Blend with Y21 

Use Y21 for both

Step 10

I just colors the lines for the 

creme with R30

You can use grey if you 

like-think thats better but to late 

for me to change:)

Step 11
