How to colour an image in moonlight

Hello Copic Lovers

   

Nice to see you again on our Copic Blog.

Today I would like to show you how to colour an image in moonlight.

 

After I drew the image, I made the outlines with a black Multiliner.

I started with C2 and coloured almost the whole cape, I just left the part bright where the moonlight is shining on it.

After that I wanted to be more courageous and took C7 to do the shadows.

 Then I took C10 and made really dark shadows,

 make hard lines where the moon is shining on the cape.

With 110 I made the inside of the cape black.

I blended the other parts with C8, C7 and C4 to make it softer.

 

I took the black 100 to make some more darker shadows.

 

The white parts of the cape I coloured with Y000.

With Caran d’ache Supracolor soft white I created some bright accents.

 Then I made the moon also with Y000, the moon craters I did with Y00.

After that I took B32 and made a bright blue part for the sky.

 

With B34 I made some clouds, 

you can also go over the Yellow moon, it doesn’t get green.

 

I did the horizon with B37 and also some more darker clouds.

 

The lights on the water are made with Y000, after that I took B99 to make the water dark.

Just leave some white parts and don’t colour the Y000.

 With B93 I’m going to colour the white parts and also make fine lines into the Y000.

To make the blue more intense I go with B39 over the B99, 

but not the whole part otherwise it’s getting boring.

With Y00 I add some more reflections in the water and after that I took Molotow White to make some highlights in the water and also on the clouds.

To make some brighter parts in the dark clouds,

 I used the Supracolor soft pencil again.

I will not explain the rest of the image,

 I think you know how to colour her clothes and the wood.

If not, we have a lot of tutorials on this blog where you can take a look.

 Of course I will write down the colours that I used.

 

The boat pier I coloured with E41, E44, E49 and E47.

Her dress is made with BG93, BG96, BG99 and W6

For her leather corset I used E49, E59, E57 and E23

Her skin is made with YR00, E11, E01 and the shadow in her face is E71.

The hair is made with E40, E42, E43, E44 and C5 for the darkest parts.

The colour of the sea B99, B93, B39 and Y000

The clouds B32, B34, B37

The moon Y000 and Y00

Her cape 110, 100, C10, C8, C7, C4 and Y000

I hope you like her and you can use my tutorial.

I wish you all a very nice day and hope to see you soon again.

How I create mountains using Copics

Hello Copic lovers.

Here is Juanita again, and I would like to show you how I create mountains using Copics.

 After I drew the lines with a pencil, I started with the chisel nib of B32 and made strokes from the top to the base of the mountain.

 

Then I took C2 and did the shadow side of the mountains in the same way.

 With C6, I made darker parts for shadow. I used the brush nib for this.

 

 The darkest parts I did with C8. I always start at the top of the mountains.

 For the lighter side of the mountains I used C1, C2, B45 and B0000. With C4 I made some fine lines to show the shadow on the lighter side. On the dark side, I used C4.

 I made some more depth on the bright side with C4 and C6. On the dark side I made the whole mountain darker with C6, C4 and C2. I wanted a rough structure that's why I did not blend all the colours. This style makes it simple to do mountains like this.

I also put some B45 on the dark side and some more shadow on the lighter side to finish the image.

 

 The eagle digi is from animalstown.com and I coloured it with;

E71, E74, E77, E79, E27, E29, E47 E57 

White parts E81, B000, W3

Beak YR15, YR27

 Here one more time the colours of the mountains:

C1, C2, C4, C6, C8, B32, B45, B0000

This is the card i made with it.

 The blue cardstock is from Papicolor. The bright one is called Celeste and the dark one is Aquablue.

I hope you like it and wish you all a nice day!

Hugs Juanita
 

Squirrel

Hello Copic lovers

Here is Juanita again from Switzerland.

Sometimes I don't know what to draw, then I take a look on Pinterest

and then I get my inspiration.

This time I saw a squirrel and then I searched for trees. 

This is what came out!

 First I started with E40 and coloured the whole head.

Then I took E97 and started flicking in the direction from the fur.

Then  I go in with E31 and do the brighter parts.

 Then with E07 the darker parts.

With E79 I did  the eyes, the dark shadow parts and  a little bit of fur.

 

I used R01 for the paws, the ear, around the eye and nose.

Then I flicked in small strokes,

everywhere I thought needed some more colour.

 The acorn is coloured with  E13 - E15 - E19 - E27

The eye with E79 - W10 - B91

 

I started the tree with W1, 

just do it like you feel it, don't consider to long, do it quickly.

 

Do the same with E81 and E44,

 don't tremble with the Copic, you can't do it wrong.

Go on with E55.

And E59.

 

I used E89 - E87 - E44 - E43 for the inside of the tree.

With Opaque white, I added highlights and the beard of the squirrel.

And this is the finished card.

I hope you like this sweet little squirrel!

Here one more time are the colours I've used

Squirrel: E40 - E97 - E31 - E07 - E79 - R01

Eye: E79 - W10 - B91

Acorn: E13 - E15 - E19 - E27

Tree: W1 - E81 - E44 - E55 - E59

Inside Tree: E89 - E87 - E44 - E43

I wish you all a nice day and see you next time!

Hugs Juanita

Rose

Hello Copic fans

I am Juanita, the newest member in the Copic Marker Europe team.

Like Diny already told you, I am a dutch girl and live in Switzerland for over 25 years.
I am married and almost 47 years old.
I love to color with my Copics but also paint with Aquarell, Acryl, pencils
 and also like scrapbooking.

I hope that I will inspire you with my work.

  Today I will show you a rose that I have drawn.
If you would like to colour it also, just become a follower of this blog and
write an e-mail to this address: copiceurope@gmail.com

I will show you step by step how I coloured it.

First I start with B63 and make the shadow.
I start flicking at the pencil line in the direction to the end of the rose leaf.

You put your point straight down and sweep away quickly.

Then I take V01 and colour the whole rose with it.
Also in the same direction.

Now it looks like this.

With BV29 I do the darkest shadow.

Then I take the B69 and go over the BV29 and a little bit further.

Go on with B66.
Just take a little bit of B69 and go a little bit further again.

Do the same thing with B63.

As you can see it doesn't blend very well. Start at the beginning again, and it will look better.

The best thing is to do one leaf at the time.

Then I go with V01 over the B63 and a step further again.
Then blend it with V000.

The next photo shows you how I flick the end of the leaf with RV13.

After I have done all the petals, it looks like this.

Then I take a white gel pencil and the Copic glitter pen "Blossom"
and made some highlights.

After that I take the Copic Gasenfude and doodle some lines.
The circles I did with a Pronty mask.

I made gemstones of it, the same way as the rose, using B66, B63, V01 and V000.

For the shadow under the rose and gemstones I used

 C3, C2, C1, C0 and C00.

I just made a simple card with my rose.

The digi looks like this, I would love it if you coloured it too.
So become a member and write a e-mail!

One more time the colours I've used:

Rose and gemstones: BV29, B69, B66, B63, V01, V000, RV13

Shadow: C3, C2, C01, C0, C00

I hope that I inspired you to get colouring.

Have a great day!

Hugs Juanita
