Today for my little tut for copic week is about getting texture in your coloring using your colorless blender, pen or solution. There's alot of different ways to use your colorless blender to add texture to your coloring projects. You can use either your Blender Pen itself or the colorless blender solution (refill for the marker, various ink). When you are adding texture its a good idea to...

Hello everyone, I am so super excited to be here helping out my awesome girl Kristy celebrate leading to her Birthday! I have an old tutorial to share with you as some may had never seen it and my colouring style has not changed since then. I hope that in some ways I teach you something new or you walk away with a little inspiration. While this is how I water colour I do not claim to be an...

Today I shot a little video to share about my new Copic Storage! Up front, I hate that I'm on the vid and I'm still not ok with hearing my own voice so look at the bag (which is lovely!) and my crazy cat who would simply NOT stay off my table long enough to shoot this. ;-) The video tells and shows about this new bag but I want to share some close up pics too. First off, wonderful and...

I have a new lil piece of art up in my crafty space/studio/office.... thing (how many terms more can I give it???)! One of these things is not like the others ;) The newbie is a canvas print of my art print Purple Tinted. I feel uber fancy :D I got it made thru Easy Canvas Prints and it was super easy! It had a interface to upload and tweak your prints that was so easy for a visual person like...

I thought this would make a fun video! (click to full screen to see it better) I drew for fun this image and wanted to give some reflected light sources a go. This is about 2 hours of coloring condensed into about 15 minutes lol. I don't usually start with the shadows first but with large of an image to color it seems to work best for me.Isn't the lighting so much better than my older?...

Since moving my office around I've had to come up with a new way to set up to take all the pics I need. I wanted something that didn't take a lot to set up and could collapse and be put away. Above is my "photo booth." Its stand alone so I could take it to any place I want to set up for pics. I have that window behind but it only gets good light for about 30 minutes a day. Here's what I used...

I finally have had to refill a couple of the colors of copics I have. Skin tones, of course, were my first to start getting dry. So poor Rusty at Oozak had to ship me some refills (I'm sure he was so bummed to take my money, poor Rusty indeed lol ;) ) so I could be a appy colorer again. While I was at it I thought I would change out a couple of the nibs. I hardly ever use the wide end on my...
