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 :)
