All over the U.K there's been snow apart from where I live, we had about an inch of snow last night. Not enough to make a snowman though. Today I thought I'd share with you how I pick my copic colours especially when I'm trying to keep the colours in one tone (technical term is Monochromatic colouring).
When I got my sketch markers, the first thing I did was download a colourable colour chart from the copic website. (there is a updated one that has the new 2012 colours on, I just need to colour it in). This chart is great as everything is in it's colour family and you can see at a glance which colours go together.
The left image was coloured in using colours from the RV section. The right image was from the BG section.
Tomorrow I will making these images into card. Most of the time I choose my papers first then colour the image in whilst comparing the paper colours to my chart. This time I just wanted to colour in with no restrictions. I have lots of plain coloured card stock, so I'm sure if I don't have any papers that I can make my own using embossing folders, stamps etc.
Thank you Pam for having me today.
