Copic Coloring Fall Slimline Stamp

Welcome back I am coloring up a second of the Rubbernecker Slimline stamps. This one features all things fall. Next week there will be a video of the coloring process again at a faster speed so we can get through the full thing in a reasonable amount of time. Here are the colors used on the different sections of the image.

  • On the areas that are orange work from dark to light with a range of a red, two yellow reds and a yellow. (R24, YR18, YR14, Y35)
  • For the golden yellow areas work from dark to light with a series of three yellows. (Y38, Y35, Y32)
  • Areas that are brown use a series of four earth tones. (E31, E33, E35, E25)
  • For areas that are light gray like the clouds and umbrella use a blue violet and the Colorless Blender. (BV20, Colorless Blender)
  • After the sections are all colored use a light yellow red to fill all the background areas. (YR31)
  • Green areas are colored with a desaturated set of yellow greens. Work from dark to light on these areas. (YG97, YG95, YG91)
  • All the red areas get colored dark to light with a series of three reds and a dark desaturated violet. (V99, R59, R37, R85)
  • Violet areas are colored dark to light with a series of three violets. (V28, V25, V20)
  • Use a series of blue working from dark to light in the blue areas. (B97, B95, B91)

Love how this image turned out! You’ll notice that most of the colors are desaturated. that means that they are colors that have some gray added into them. You can know which Copic Markers are desaturated by the first number on the end. The number right after the letter represents the saturation level of the marker. The higher the number is the more desaturated, or in other words the more gray that has been added.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

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)
