Under the Sea

Hello everybody copic lovers!

 

Franz from Italy here :)

 

Summer is coming and I couldn't resist to Naunet, the latest super lovely mermaind from Mo!

So I decided to use her for a little tutorial about colouring the bottom of the sea...

 

Here is my protagonist with some seaweed;

I started colouring them with BG72:

 

 

 I added some G63 to the bottom:

 

 

...B72 again:

 

 

BG70 to blend the top of the seaweed:

 mmm... too light! I've to blend again with some BG11 and again with BG10:

 



 Now I start colouring the water adding some BG000 from the bottom to the top:

 Here I used a little brush and some copic refills (BG02, BG000, 0) to add and blend some blue on the top:

 The stippling tecnique around the mermaid using BG02:

 



 I blended adding BG000:

 ...stippling again using BG11:

 ...and BG10:

 Now I used a lovely Dutch Doobadoo mask to add some bubbles around Nounet:

 I started blending some colour away and the effect was nice, but I wanted to give a touch of colour so I colored the bubbles with Y000 and RV000:

 Here I simply added some more bubbles:

 

 ...and the work is done! 

 

I hope that my tutorial could be useful for someone :)
