Hey folks! It’s me, Elaineabella, here with another does of Marker Geek Monday inspiration for you.
This week I’ve switched things up and gone for a Christmas card featuring the new ODDBALL SNOWMAN stamp. I thought this would also be a great time to remind you of some tips for colouring white!
Here’s my card, coloured with Copic markers and finished off with some word stickers.
Stamp Used: Stamping Bella Oddball Snowman
As you can see, I added some fairly dark shadow areas on my snowman and the ground around him, but they still appear “white”. Don’t be afraid to play with your markers/pencils/whatever your preferred medium, and try adding darker shadows to white objects, especially if the rest of your image has strong colours.
Body/Ground: B0000,BV20,BV23
Nose: YR16,YR27,E47
Hat/Buttons: BV25,BV29,100
Arms:E17,E47
Bell: Y15,Y26,E87
Tree: G07,G19,BG99
Scarf/Gloves: R35,R37,R89,G99
Sky: FB2,B29,B99
You can read some tips and info in a blog post I created a while ago, here: MARKER GEEK MONDAY – SOME TIPS FOR COLOURING WHITE.
If you missed it, you can watch my colouring video for the version of Oddball Snowman seen on the stamp packaging below or in HD over on YouTube.
