My First Lili of the Valley Stamp Using Copics




I thought I would try Lili of The Valley Stamps as they are extremely cute.  I also am trying to learn how to color with Copics instead of always useing Distress water coloring. This image seems to be easier to learn from BUT I cannot seem to get it shaded quit right. I have done Lili of The Valley on line coloring and also Suzzanne Dean's you tube tutorials. Both helped me out. Practice makes perfect, right!

Please share your ideas with me to help me figure out how to use the Copics better. I really appreciate your critiquing.
Thank you, Have a Happy Craft Day.

    Hi Kellly! Well honey I think your coloring is coming along really well. It takes some time to really get the technique of hightlights and shadows down pat! You've done wonderful shading and shaping on this sweeties face and hair. I always put my lightest color down first but on in the areas where I want my shadows. Then I fill that out a bit with my mid tone, then I come back in with my darker color and just put a hint of shadow. Then I go over that with my mid tone and feather it all out with the lighter color. Be sure to leave some very light where the natural light would catch the image. Actually you've done a splendid job on your wee girls dress! She definitely has shape and depth! I hope this helps...just keep it up and it will come more naturally to you...blessings...hugs...Barb

    Kelly, your coloring is coming along really well. The shading in her hair and on her face is done really well. Her dress shows depth and shape. Keep on working on it...before you know it, it will become second nature. I find myself pulling out my Copics more and more and have come along ways from where I started and still have lots to learn. I just need to get some cards made with the images I have colored up.
    Hugs~

    Hey Kelly - your coloring is just fine - really quite good - everyone colors differently and as Suzanne Dean would say - just keep at it and you will find the best way for you. Grat job.
