A Little Piece of Colourful Doodle Art !

 Hi all,

It is my first post here on the blog for the year 2021.
Todays post is some "doodle art" full of colour. Copic also has various special papers, this is from the  paper selections called autograph board

The boards come in 3 sizes and have a golden frame. My choice was the smallest 136 mm x 120 mm .

The reverse side is yellow with gold dots.

I have started to draw some lines without thinking as I call this technique anti-stress colouring. It should come from inside better to use a pencil as later you might want to change some details.

With a black multi-liner with a 0.8 tip I have traced the pencil lines, the parts I did not like were erased.

Now I think my design is ready .

I wanted it to be cheery so I have started with some bright colours.

Slowly I add more colours without particular scheme, I just try to avoid using the same colours next to each other.

Hope you have enjoyed my post  and I hope to see you soon again!

Anti stress Copic colouring with Blankina

Hello all Copic friends,

How are you? Hope fine...

Today I have a little tutorial for you: anti stress Copic colouring.

We all have stress and I have this nice and colourful way to relax, I call it anti-stress Copic Colouring. Simple and fun to do.

I have started with a sheet of Perfect Colouring paper (A4) and a pencil

And have started to  draw lines without thinking.....

Later I have  covered these lines with various Copic multiliners.

Suggestion :

Before adding Copic colouring you can still erase the pencil lines,

when you add colours with your Copic pencil lines will NOT erase anymore.

Are you curious how I have made the design?

I have used these colours ...

Please watch this little video below and discover all steps

I can highly recommend this anti stress colouring, it does help to relax and in the end you also have a colourful drawing... This can be framed or used as a cover for example. 

When you use a smaller pieces of PCP you can also make lovely cards  with these anti stress drawings. 

This is a unfinished piece of my drawing. You can see the completed design in the video !!

Hello : a geometric patchwork card

Hello Copic fans,

Today I will show you the making of my geometric patchwork card.

I have chosen some bright colours as it is Summer!

I have cut a sheet of Perfect Coloring paper in half.

I have just used my "special ruler" you can choose the angle you wish,

and I have started to draw lines with my cool grey SP Multiliner.

After having drawn different triangles I have started colouring with my Copic Markers,

first colour : Yellow (as the sun) 

Second colour chosen : green (as the green grass in the mountains)

A close up :

Third colour chosen: Blue green (as a fresh sea!)

After having coloured these three groups of triangles,

 I have used some SP Mmultiliners. 

I have drawn coloured lines on top of the original grey lines. 

Now I had to choose what to do with the design,

I thought it might be nice to make a card.

So I cut up the coloured block of triangles,

added some black lines on the edges with the chisel side of a 110 (black) Copic Marker.

Now I have played around with the different pieces.

I have added some doodles too with the same coloured SP Multiliners.

Some dots, some checks, some hearts and crosses.

Also a little lettering , I have cut a piece of PCP which I have coloured Yellow,

and with a black SP Multiliner I have added a simple "hello" text.

I was missing something on this card

 so I have decided to add two pieces of pierced paper too,

in some shocking pink! (RV25).

If you wonder why I have chosen pink? 

Perhaps I was inspired by some pink flamingos!

Hello Summer ! 

This is the final result, I hope this geometric patchwork card 

might inspire you to do something like this too.

It is again a little piece of anti-stress Copic colouring :) .

Tutorial Copic anti-stress colouring

Hello Copic lovers,

Today I am sharing a photo tutorial which I have made for the Italian Copic Blog.

This is also Copic colouring..but a bit different!

Perhaps you are interested too?

I call it anti - stress colouring, 

sometimes you need those moments to relax yourself, don't you?

And what is better than to get out some of your fab Copic colours?

It is important that you let your emotions and mind free,

do the colouring without programming or thinking about it.

How?

Okay I will explain how to do it, 

please have the following products ready to start;

 Copic markers of your choice , 

a Copic Gasenfude pen , 

Copic  Multiliners ( black and / or coloured ones )

a white gel pen or Copic Opaque White.

a sheet of white paper and / or a sheet of Perfect Colouring Paper 

a pencil ( and a rubber )

Please take a white sheet of paper and a "hard" pencil,

do not use a "soft" one as it leaves too much graphite on the paper 

which might damage your Copic tip.

You can design directly on a sheet of Copic Perfect Colouring Paper,

but personally I start on a simple white sheet 

which I  scan and print out onto a PCP sheet afterwards.

In this way you can always re-use the original design.

Now "switch off your brain" 

and start designing lines without thinking.

My lines are rounded and they cross each other.

This will become your original design to start with,

 later you can always add more lines while colouring.

Now start colouring on the sheet of PCP,

 the one you have made with the lines or the copy printed out onto PCP.

Pick a colour group which you like and start colouring between the lines.

I have made a multi coloured design with lot of colour groups

 but if you like you can also use only one colour group .

After colouring

 I have accentuated the lines which divide the coloured spaces

  with a Copic Gasenfude pen, this pen is very suitable as the tip is long and flexible.

When you add some pressure to the tip the line will become thicker

and if you use the pen in a straight position without pressing, 

 the line will become very thin.

Love how this creates fun wavy lines.

Afterwards just get out another group of Copic colours to finish the design as you like it,

and the Gasenfude to accentuate the lines.

 If you like you can also add small white dots on the black lines as I did.

Some of the spaces in the design  I have filled up with some black Copic Multiliners doodles

but of course you can also use your coloured Multiliners .

I have used  full A4 sheet, 

but you can also start with some smaller pieces of paper first.

Basing it on how much time you will have to finish it.

You could use your smaller anti- stress designs to create cards. In case you have done a big size it could become a cover.

But the most important thing is to relax while colouring!

Who knows what the psychologists will say?

Ha ha, anyway I did relax myself and I am happy to have this design too.

What are you waiting for?

Please try it yourself!

Keep calm and Copic doodle on..

Hi all Copic lovers,

It is my turn to show you a Copic creation, 

after a few posts with hand lettering this time 

I have made some doodle tags for you.

As always I start to make a hand drawn design, 

this design was made with my black Copic Multiliners

and the big lines were done with a black sketch (100).

I scan the design and save it on my computer 

and later I  print the design onto Perfect Colouring Paper.

I did several doodle versions, this version was done in black and white only.

I just got my Copic Multiliners out and started to doodle.

I have used different black Copic Multiliners 

for the bigger details a 0.3 tip and 

for the tiny details I have used a smaller  0.1 tip.

It is so relaxing, I can spend hours just drawing away.

This is the finished black and white version.

Another black and white printed version was coloured 

with some of my red Copic and a black Copic Multiliners. 

This is the finished version.

I have also added some red stones on the right side of the tag. 

Possibilities are unlimited.

Why not use more Copic colours and experiment?

That is what I did and so this is my rainbow version! 

I can recommend to doodle, it is great, relaxing and fun to do.

No rules just let your hands do the work, brain on relax mode and enjoy.

These tags can easily be used as bookmarks or be added on gift packaging.

Here are the original designs and the three versions together in a photo.

Underneath you can find the list of the Copic products used.

Hope you will keep calm and doodle on too, thanks for your visit.
