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

Colouring can by very invigorating and it helps me to relax. This time I have used a greyscale colouring sheet by Christine Karron.

1st layer of the skintone is E50.

Add BG01 as shadow.

Add YG11 as well.  

Add E00 on top of the BG01/YG11.

Blend all layers together with E000. 

1st layer in the eyes is BG01.

Use W3 for shading the eyes. I also used YG11 in her eyes and on her eyelashes. 

Eye: add some B63 for more depth, 

use V04 on her lips,

1st layer in her hair is B66.

Use some B69 for more depth in her hair and add some V05 on her lips. 

Her face still looks a bit pale, so I decided to add some R21 on het cheeks and nose. 

Add shading in her hair with B69.

Her hair can look a bit dull So I decided to add some extra  V04, BG01 ad YG11. 

Blend the layers of hair together with the B63. 

Use  YG11 on all the leaves and V04 on all the flowers and berries. .

Add more depth to the flowers with V06 and more shading in the leaves with YG13.

For the darkest shadows I use V09 in the flowers and B69 for the leaves.  

Blend all layers together. 

When the colours get dull I add some more of the darkest colours to let them pop again. 

I also use some coloured pencils for more depth. Use a white marker for highlights. 

Have a fun day and I will see you back next month.
