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.

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.

Make some strokes with C7 

Step 5

Time for some blending

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!
