I played with this fun stamp set during the last virtual retreat but decided to color another of the images in the set as well as add a personal touch to it! I added a braid to the dragon rider and recorded the whole thing so you can watch if you like! First here is a closer look at the image and the Copic coloring as well as the added hair braid:

And here is a look at the card I completed. I did a simple inky background with Copic refill ink on photo paper.

Lastly how about a link to the video tutorial?! It is all in real time so between the drawing and the coloring it is a longer video but hope you might have a chance to watch a few moments! Thank you for stopping by!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

More Skin and Hair with Rubbernecker

I have a final tutorial with darker skin tones (at least for now). Using one of the beautiful images from Rubbernecker Stamps. You will find the steps and colors I used below and then next Wednesday there will be a video tutorial posted on both the Copic In The Craft Room YouTube channel as well as the Rubbernecked YouTube channel.

  • Starting with the skin base all of the skin areas with E21.
  • Use a darker mid-tone to map out the shading on the skin areas, E25.
  • Use a darker tone in smaller amounts to deepen the shadow areas, E27.
  • Blend the skin smooth working back through the darker mid-tone and then covering the light base color with a light mid-tone, E25, E23.
  • Add a deep red earth tone to add color to her cheeks and blend it in with the skin tones, E09.
  • Base all of the hair with a light earth tone, E13.
  • Use a series of red and earth tones to create texture and volume to the hair with small thin flicks, R56, E09, R59.
  • Work with the 4 hair colors to smooth and enhance texture to your personal desired effect, E13, R56, E09, R59.
  • For lips use two earth tones to create shape and color, E09, E04.
  • Use a rich color to add a touch of color to the lids, V28.

Thank you so much for stopping by and checking in on my art. If you have not done so take a second and subscribe to my newsletter up to the right on my blog. I only send a few notes out a year and there will be news about Copic College and live events coming out in the next week!

Gingerbread! Copic Coloring Tutorial

Hello  friends! Yesterday over on the Stamp AnnieThing Facebook fan page I did a live coloring tutorial of a new SAT digital image, Gingerbread!

You say you missed the live tutorial?! How can that be? I know you all have 7:30pm Eastern wide open on your planners, ha ha. Actually I know all of us are crazy busy and this time of year often gets even more frantic than normal. Luckily for ALL of us when we teach a live tutorial on Facebook it get’s recorded and now it is on the Facebook page for those small moments here and there that you manage to catch for yourself. I enjoy watching tutorials when I am doing other things like folding laundry or prepping dinner. I can’t color along, but I get lots of info just listening and watching when I can. Hope you will have the chance to take a peek later if you did not get to join me yesterday.

Here is a peek at the finished card.

One of the things that is unique about this particular SAT digital image is the size. Now with digital images you have control over the size so you can change this if you want, but if you use the Gingerbread! stamp as is it is a full card front. Yep, fills your 4.25 x 5.5 card front. Now because I use Copics I still place this on a card base, remember that Copics will bleed through your cardstock. You could also fussy cut her out and put her on a different colored base or patterned paper, but I like letting the coloring shine and this image just fits the card front so well it doesn’t need anything else.

Here is a close up of our gingerbread master. If you notice a little or a lot of shine I added Stickles on the gumdrops and Glossy Accents on the peppermint and lollipops. 

Thanks for stopping by today! If you did not have time last night to check out the live FaceBook tutorial head over there when you have a chance to check out the coloring. And make sure to take a peek at all the fun digital images Ann has in the store!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
