I've got another fun video to share with you today! With my last tutorial vid, I had a request on how to color large areas with Copic markers and still make the image look blended.
I also struggle with that sometimes, but in my video I go over how I work with this challenge...
Unfortunately, I don't have a card to share with you today(it's been a rough week!), but stay tuned to tomorrow!
I have something awesome to share with you today! I finally got my new Copic marker storage! Yippee!
First let me show you what I had been using:
I started using Copic markers about a year ago and my collection was small. At first I started off with just a tin basket and stored them there. It was easy for me to go from room to room and craft where ever I wanted to.
Eventually my collection grew and I started using a Tool TurnAbout from Pampered Chef. This worked for a while until my kids discovered that they loved pulling out a marker and putting it in a different slot all the time! So my markers were never arranged by color family. And eventually, I outgrew this system too as you can see by the box next to it - I stored more markers in there.
Fast forward to last week when I got my Copic Storage from Studio 3 Solutions!
*happy dance* Isn't it just AWESOME? :)
Here, I'll show you another pic:
Yay! I just LOVE it!
I debated on whether or not I should get 4 instead of 3 but I think 3 works for now. I can always add another one later. Yippee! It makes me want to color all the time now!
And since we're looking at my desk, I'll give you a better view...
This was taken last week. Ugh. It's worse today. I really should show you. *lol*
Anyway, I wanted to show a quick tutorial video on how I color since a couple of people have asked me. Here's a video I did on how I color skin. :)
Hope you enjoy! Thanks for visiting today! Have a fabulous day!
