Day 17. Colored Pencil Details

Hello Friends! Happy weekend to you. What do you have happening this weekend?

My emails are still wonkey so if you are missing a few maybe go to my blog and scroll down or when they land in your inbox scroll down to see what you might have missed.

The sunflower on the right is after adding a dark brown pencil to everything that was colored.

Adding colored pencils details to your copic coloring is something that I will always talk about. It’s so much faster and yields such a dramatic result if you are using a nice and dark pencil. Switch it up and use a very dark navy blue and you might thank me lol.

This image was colored in Jennifer Doves class and I haven’t had time to finish it. I thought it would be more fun to finish what was colored for today’s coloring. (If you want to read more about Jennifer and her class click here)

Have a happy day and see you tomorrow. Thanks for your visits each day they keep me coming back. Hugs, Kathy

    Wow!! This looks amazing, Kathy. Thank you for the tip/reminder about adding colored pencils to our coloring. I’ve not done that yet to my coloring, but I see it really adds so much depth. This piece is looking so impressive. I really like that you show before and after photos. It helps to see what you are talking about. Thank you so much for sharing!

    Wow Kathy, what a difference one pencil makes. I love the bold sunflower and hope to see you finish it. I am one of those people who have to stop using 1 medium and think that there is no other way. You show here very well that the use of a pencil doesn’t harm the colouring with Copics, it just add more to it. This is among other things why I recently began with Art Journaling/Mixed Media, I have to use than more mediums and and I hope to be able to continue that in my card making. Thanks for today and see you tomorrow, or on monday if you want a well-deserved calm Sunday.

      I hope you try adding another medium, Henriette! I really think it is addictive 🙂

    The change is so dramatic! I have tried this on tiny colored images after you suggested it in the past and it works great for shading little things. I need to try on some of my bigger images. Thanks for the inspiration!
