Copic Coloring With Rubbernecker

Hello my Copic coloring friends! little coloring today on a fun image from Rubbernecker. Murray with Catch is from the “Old Characters” collection. There is a whole team of these silly characters and wonderful phrases and statements to go along with them!

  • Starting with the skin use a blue violet to under-paint the deeper areas of the skin. This will also gray down the skin tones to age Murray a bit. (BV20)
  • Use a light earth tone over all of the skin. (E50)
  • Use a midtown to add shape to the face and arms. (E11)
  • Use a third earth tone in smaller amounts to deepen the shadow areas. (E13)
  • Blend the skin smooth working in reverse through the colors. (E11, E50)
  • Add a touch of color to the lips with a peachy earth tone and a darker rosy earth tone at the corners. (E93, E04)
  • Behind the glasses use the lightest earth tone and the midtone only. (E50, E11)
  • You can see a closer view in the next photo.
  • Use small dots of two cool grays to add texture to the hair. (C1, C3)
  • Use the darker of the two on the eyebrows. (C3)
  • Fishing vest and part of the fish is next. Start with basing the vest and fish with a light earth tone. (E81) Note the E 8’s have a very mossy green to them!
  • Use a midtone earth tone to add shape to the vest. (E84)
  • Use a darker earth tone in smaller amounts to deepen the shadow areas. (E87)
  • Add a touch of color to the back of the fish with a brighter blue green. (BG53)
  • Quick coloring on the fishing pole. Fill the rod and parts o the reel with a dark gray. (C7)
  • On the handle use two earth tones. (E31, E35)
  • Last, but not least his waders and the last section of the rod. Base the waders and the center band on the reel with a lighter blue green. (BG93) I used this same color across the back of the fish to tone down the other blue green.
  • Use a midtone and darker blue green to add shape to the waders and use the midtone on the reel as well. (BG96, BG99)
  • Blend the layers together going in reverse through the colors. (BG96, BG93)
