Tuesdays tips

Hello everyone! No tutorial to share today ... but a couple of tips from me... I have done up a little journal page to show you the difference in colouring the same image.. from a basic approach to a more advanced approach! I've used my new Birthday Mae stamp.. another gorgeous image drawn by Kristy Dalman of Some Odd Girl Stamps! This beauty is now available in the M4M store HERE!



So anyway... my tip is (as I have said before) that it's a great idea to keep a journal of the colours you like on an image... This goes one step further and shows the different levels of colouring the same image..

My Beginner approach is using only one colour/ marker for each colour on the image... some level of shading created from layering the one colour on top of itself.

My Intermediate approach is using a number of (2-3) colours within a colour family (eg. E31, E33, E35) to create more depth in the shading.

Mu advanced approach is using markers from a 'higher' colour family in order to create more contrast in the shading which creates much more depth and thus more interest and the image has more dimension.

Tuesdays Tute :: colouring eyes

Good morning (just- hehe) ... Hope you are all having a wonderful week so far!!

This is just a quick little tutorial on colouring eyes... this one is for those eyes that are not completely drawn or only half drawn in on an image... I have used a Spesch Stamp - Crystal.
I have coloured her in first... Wings: RV21, FB2 & FRV1, Skin: E13, 15, 17, Hair: E15, 17, 18, 19, 29, earrings: E33, 35, E15, E13, Dress: R81, 83, 85, V04, 06, 09, Background: E70, 71, 74, 77, 79

Then I used a black multiliner 0.03 to draw in some lines on the eyes..

then I coloured in the mid section that would be darkest.. with the black multiliner

and then I added some colour in... I used E77 for this (quite dark)

Here is a close up...

Thanks for stopping by. This will be the last tutorial this year... next year we will have LOTS more for you. If there is something particular you would like to see then please leave a comment below!!
