Copic Jumpstart Lesson 4

Lighting and Shading

     I learned a little more about lighting and shading than I did in the Online Card Classes Copics for Card Makers class.  Unfortunately I didn't remember to apply all that I learned to this image.  It was my first attempt and I was fairly happy with him though.  I plan on coloring many more so that I can perfect the technique.

Copic Jumpstart Lesson Three

My Favorite Shading Blend

     I have been experimenting and experimenting and experimenting with shading blends and have found my favorites.  This yellow one is slightly different than those mentioned in class, but Sandy said to experiment on our own to find what we prefer.  This one uses a lighter violet as the deepest shade, yet I still can see the deeper color and it avoids having the shaded parts look orange.

Copics Class Day 3

     On day three of Online Card Classes Copics for Card Makers lessons we learned how to get more mileage out of our markers by using gray for shading instead of or in addition to a darker shade of the same color family.
