A Little Weird

Hi everyone

For today I have an art journal page to share. I have used Copic markers and Derwent Procolours pencils. I love using Copics and coloured pencils together, they are such a good combination. 

I always start with the skin colours first, here the E50.

Add the BV01 to create some shadow.

Add the E00 on the BV01 to create a warm skintone. 

Blend all layers together with the E000. I also decide to give her some blush with the R21. 

Her hair will be blue and I start with the darkest coloy first, the B69.

Use the B66 to blend. 

And use the lightest colour B63, next. 

I use the  R21 for her lips. 

Add the R22 next 

Than add the R24. . 

Blend all layers together with the R21. 

Her hat will be violet. I have used a lot of yellow in the background and violet/purple  is the opposite colour of yellow in the colour wheel. This means that those colours will enhance each other, but if you mix them together you will get brown.  

My first layer is BV08. 

Blend with the BV04.  I use the BV04 for her ears as well. 

Blend  the layers together with the BV02. 

Use the Y04 next. 

Add the Y08.  

I thought the flowers looked a little pale so I decided to add some more colour and to use the  R21.

Use the R22 next. 

The basic colour of her coat will be  BV02. Add some shading with the BV08. 

Blend the layers using the  BV04. 

Blend again using the BV02. 

The flowers and collar will be yellow. I use the Y04 and Y35.

Blend layers together with the Y04. 

I also used the R21 and R22 for the flowers, but unfortunately I forgot to take a photograph. 

I keep using the same colours because they go so well with the background that I want to use. 

Use the Y08 for the roof. 

Add the Y35 next. 

Blend together with the Y08 and the Y06.

Finally I use the Y04 again. 

Use the same yellow hues for the windows as well. 

For this cute house I will use the BV02. 

Than I decide to make the house more blue so I continue with the B66. 

Blend the layers using the B63. 

I want to use the blue in all the flowers and I start with the B69 first. 

Use the  B66 next. 

Blend the layers together with the B63.

For this flower I use the  BV08.

And the BV04. 

The leaves will be yellow-orange, I use the Y35 and the R21. 

For the largest flower I will add some yellow with the Y04 and the Y08.

For my third flower I use the  Y38and the Y36. 

Finally I add some coloured pencil as well, 

the Derwent Procolours : 09, 10, 20, 03, 27, 35, 32, 31 and the 28. 

Cut out all the images and glue them on your background. I have found the quote on the internet. For my lettering I used a  Molotow one4all marker, 1,5 mm nib , but you can use a  Copic multiliner as well.

Have a fabulous month

Love

Happiness Blooms from Within

Good morning Copic friends,

I have made an art journal page with a twist using the lovely Paperartsy stamps.

This is a two-layered journal page. I cut out some circles from the black page and added some doodling (love this in combination with a realistic drawn flower). All the images are coloured with Copic Markers. All the images outside the circles won't be coloured. They are covered by the black page and won't be able to catch some light. The light makes everything look brighter, more colourful and cheery, don't you think so too? 

This is how the pages look from the inside. 

In the photo video I'm showing you my colouring process and the numbers of the colours I have used for my project.

Hope you have enjoyed my blogpost, see you next month

Greetzzzz

99 problems

Hi Copic friends, today another post by me, Miranda. 

I made an art journal page using the new Dylusions stamps which I coloured with Copic markers. 

The background is blue yellow and green and I decided to use the same colours for my images. I start with the skin tones and use E50 first.

Use BV00 for shading. 

Add E00 on the BV00.

Blend all layers together with E000.

I use RV20 for some rosy cheeks and blend this colour in with E000. 

Her eyes will be green, start with YG11.

Add some YG13.

And the YG17. 

Finally I use YG67.

Blend all layers together with  YG 11 and YG 13. 

I use the same greens for other images. Start with YG11.

Use YG 13 to create some depth.

Use YG17 next. 

When you have added all the layers, blend them together with YG11.

Sometimes I start colouring all the parts that need to be green first and than add all the darker hues. But sometimes I start colouring and finish that one image completely before I start colouring another image. Both ways work for me. 

The roses in her hair will be yellow, I start with Y13. 

Next layer is Y13. 

Final layer is Y18. 

Blend the layers together with Y11 and Y13. 

Her eyeshadow will be yellow too. Use Y11 and Y13. 

The rest of her hair is going to be blue. I start with B12. 

Add the B14. 

And the B16.

And finally the B18. 

Blend all layers together with B12 and B14. 

Colour all the other elements using the same blues. 

Finally I use Y13 and Y15 for some small parts. 

Cut out all the images and make a nice composition on your background. 

Add some doodles and a nice quote with e.g.  Copic Multiliners  and voila my page is ready. Hope you're liking it. 

See you next month
