You Are What You Eat....

Good morning Copic friends, today is my turn to make a blogpost. I have made an art journal page and used a funny image by Bloobels. 

I always start with the skin colours first, the E50, BV00, E00 and E000.

Add a layer of E50. 

Add shadow with the BV00.

Add the E00 on the layer of BV00  to create a warm skin tone.

Blend all layers together with the E000.

The clothes and her eyes will be blue, I start with using the B04. 

Add the B06 as a shadow colour. . 

USe the B18 as your darkest shadow colour. 

Blend all layers together with B04. 

The R21 is a nice colour for her mouth. 

I used the E04 as a shadow in her mouth. 

Blend the layers together with R21. 

I use the Copic nr. 100 to colour the pupils black and add BV00 as a shadow in her eyes/ 

The rest of her cloths will be orange. Orange is a great colour to use next to blue, they make each other pop. I start with YR04.

Add shadows with YR09. 

Blend the YR09 with YR07.

Blend all layers together with YR04. 

Oranges have a rough skin so I use the blender to get this effect. I make little dots in the previously added layers. 

The pears will be green and I start with YG11. 

As a shadow I use the YG17. 

Blend with YG13. 

I use the YG21, G20 and G24 to change the colour of the pears, because I thought they were too green. 

Use the E47 for the stems.

The bananas are coloured with Y13, Y23,Y26 and YR21. 

For the cherries I am using  R35, R37 and R39. 

The red of the plums will be a deeper and darker red using the  R37, R89 and RV99 .

The pineapple has a lot of colours: 

YG17, Y15, Y13, E79, E77 and E74. 

And her hairs will be blue using the B04, B06, B18 and B39. 

I add some washi tape on the background and add a nice quote too and now my page is finished. 

I wish you all a healthy, happy and creative 2020.

Winter Fun

Hello everyone! It's Delphine here today to share some Christmas inspiration, with a simple winter scene. For my scene, I used a Penny Black stamp from the Festive Frolic set. I stamped it in Memento Tuxedo Black then die cut it with a Lawn Fawn die to be able to frame my image and visualize my scene.

I started with the sky, drawing the limit / hill in BG000. For a change, I went for a pastel orangy sky inspired by sky colours at sunset. I coloured from left to right and right to left making horizontal lines in BG000, V000 and YR000. 

For a bit of interest, I added trees behind my hill line. I coloured from dark to light, "drawing" pine needles in G29, then blending a bit using YG17 and a bit of YG03. For the trees further in the distance, I skipped the G29. At last, I also used BV000 to add a "horizon" in the distance. 

I then coloured the bear in Warm Greys - W0, 1, 3, 5 - and R20. I "drew" the hair from the fur going from dark to light.

Next I coloured the little penguin and sleigh (see colours below).

I then focussed on the details, you know the details that make a difference ;), adding marks in the snow, a shadow under the bear, and colouring some of the white of the hill using B000 and V20.

As a final step, I added snow in the trees and snowflakes using a Molotow acrylic paint marker. 

Here is the final image, with a sentiment.

Copics used:

Sky: BG000, V000, YR000

Trees: G29, YG03, 17

Bear: R20, W0, 1, 3, 5

Penguin: BV25, 29, Y38 - C2, 4, R35, 39 (hat)

Sleigh: C2, 4, E31, 34, 37

Snow: B000, V20

Thank you very much for your visit, have a lovely holiday season everyone! Hugs,

Delphine xx
