Matchmaker, matchmaker...

make me a match...
Olo!
I like to match my marker colors with the colors in the papers I'm using for the card. I'm a bit OCD that way, plus I think it's a good way to stretch outside the comfort zone of automatic color families and play with the vast capabilities of these markers. So while I was in video making mode today became the perfect opportunity to show my process.
The Copic Color Chart can be printed from here
Copic is adding 12 new colors in a couple of months, so you may want to wait until the new chart is out before printing it and filling it out.

'No Lines' coloring technique with Carisa

Carisa is sharing how she colors an image with a technique called "no lines" using Copic Markers. She has broken the techniques into two parts, in the first video she does most of the coloring and in the second she finishes up by drawing the facial features back onto the image using Prisma colored pencils. Enjoy! :)

More love for the gingers!

Olo! I had a request for dark red hair so with the day off I colored up two of my color combos that I use when I want dark red hair. Hope you enjoy them!

Dee Dee is getting ready for some winter fun...

I had a question about coloring Wild Sprout Dee Dee with a dark skin tone, and I thought li'l Dee Dee would be fun on a Christmas card! So here are two videos with Dee Dee, the first one is the coloring of her skin and hair and in the second she get a winter coat with a little help from Wild Sprout Camille.

When I finish the card with Dee Dee I will post a link to it in this post below the two videos.
I have gone back through my prior video posts and added links to the finished cards and will continue to link videos to cards as I complete them.
