I had a request a bit back for a tut about doing a specific hair color. Since I have a voice again I gave it a go! Check out the vid for all the deetsJust as a refresher the colors I used are E74, E77, E79, E49 W1, W3,W5,W7. You could probably pair that down by a couple but its what I used to get this exact color.I mentioned in the vid that I was working from a reference photo of Megan Fox ...

Another lil video for today's Tuesday To Do. I'm still not 100% comfy with listening to my own voice on the playback and keep nit-picking my mis-speaks. There's a sweet one toward the end if you catch it... totally makes me LOL. Anyway, todays vid is on testing your paper for Copic compatibility. I learned this test when I took the Copic Certification Class and use it when I try new papers....

Welcome to part 2 of my Copic Coloring: Skin post! I have a short (for me LOL!) video on how I color skin...The colors I used were: YR000, YR00, E11 & R02. You can also use this technique on any other combo. The trick is not to be afraid to saturate your paper (have that scrap sheet under to prevent bleeding!) as having your paper wet will really make your blending easy and smooth and on...

Happy Tuesday!Probably the number one request I've been getting since doing these copic tuts is for Skin Coloring. Its the one biggest question and one with a ton of answers. As you all know, like alot of you out there, I don't have all 334 colors of copics and I'm sure there are many many more combos than the ones I'm going to showcase today. You can see the colors I have to work with by...

Tuesday To Do today is another video. :) I think I may finally be getting over my phobia of listening to myself on the playback. That is a pretty big step I think. Well today's tut is about getting texture on those furry friends that are so dang cute on so many projects. This is how I do it and definitely not the only way. So on with the show!Just so you can see the texture that this method will...

This week, since my voice sounds like a 67 year old blues man, I thought I'd chat it up about a lil copic basic: the Copic Color Wheel.The Copic Color Wheel is a handy thing that actually gives you alot of info about your copics. It has an explanation of the rhyme and reason of the color code on the marker, a brief run thru on picking your blending groups and visually shows you what greys work...

Good Mornin! Well I finally managed to make a Copic Coloring Tut that was under the required 15 minutes LOL. The video is on how you can take a basic hair color, in this case brown, and change it up just by adding one more color. I show how I color hair and then have 3 tweaks for you.Don't be too harsh on me since this IS my first and I think I sound nervous enough on the vid with all my AHs and...

I don't have a super good name for my Tuesday post plan so if you have one leave it in the comments, I could use the help LOL. Tuesday I would like to do some sort of tip/technique/tutorial thing, hence the "T".Today in the mail came a lil goodie that I hope is going to be a big help to me as the days get shorter around here and sunlight is at a premium. I placed an order for a light tent....
