Nuts About You!

Hello everyone.

Helen here!
Today I will show you an image from the Greeting Farm and it is from a stamp set called Forest friends.


I stamped the image on Perfect Colouring Paper with my black Memento ink pad.


My first  coat for the squirrels isYR09 and I cover the whole area where the squirrels should be reddish brown.


Then I went for my shadow color, the darkest, E19.


My midtone wasE08.


And then I went over it once again with YR09 to smoothen it all out.


For the hat of the acorn I used E81-E84.


And the shadow color is E87.


For the white part of the squirrels, I started with W0.


Then I got in with W3 for the darkest colour.


W1 is my midtone. And R11 for cheeks.


Fot the acorn I used E33-E37-E35.
And I sketched in the tree with a light grey.


I starded with the lightest colour for the tree, E31, and the grass, YG03.
I don´t bother to get the colouring even, I know it will be a lot of layers in top of this first one.


With E31 I tried to make a pattern for the cortex. I tried to get some asymmetric rectangles but I wasn´t happy with what I got. But I let it be and strarted to work on top of the result I got.


Instead I got in with my E25 and scribbled in some vertical lines. I varied the pressure on the nib to get both thin and thicker lines. Don´t  overthink this moment, just scribbel on but try to not get an even pattern.


The grass got layers of YG25-YG17, and the sky got a layer of B000.


To darken it all upp the tree got a layer of E29 and E49. 
On the grass I used YG67-YG99.
The sky got B00.
And for the flowers R11.

 Hope you liked this post.

Hi COPIC lovers!

Today I show how I color this baby face up 

Step 1
First I drew a sketch for the baby face and then I used my lightboard to drew the face again.

Step 3 
Color with C3 over the C0


Step 4
Make some strokes with C7 
Step 5
Time for some blending

Step 6 
I took some markers from the T-markers 
T3 and T4 and added in the hair to blend the other colors. Id you dont have them

Step 7
In this step I go over the hair with  all the markers once again
Add and blend- add and blend

Fairy Sleepy

Hello Copic lovers!

Today is my turn to get you inspired by using Copic markers!

Today I am sharing my colouring of the cutest ever fairy . It is called Fairy Sleepy


My skin color combo is E0000, E000, E00, E11, E21 and R20 for the cheeks. I always start with E0000 all over the skin.

I go over my E11 with E21 in order to darken my shadows . Cheeks I color with R20.


Then I mark my shadows with E11.


Then I mark my shadows with E21.


At last I go all over the skin with E00 and E000.




Cheeks I color with R20. My skin is ready. If I'm not satisfied with the shadows , I repeat the steps again. I always do this twice.


Today I wanted to show a dark blond hair. I used only 3 colours - E31, E33 and E35. I'm starting with the lightest color E31 making long strokes.


My E33 is followed by E35 also with strokes




I repeat with strokes until I'm satisfied.


For the wings I used B91


and RV52 blended with colorless blender.


The grass i made with strokes YG41 followed by G94.



Isn't she cute?

That's all from me today. See you soon.

I would love to see you following me on my Instagram and Facebook.
Bye bye!
