Let's get started
In this Tutorial I use a Stamp from Polkadoodles and the Tri-Blend Markers as well as the Original Markers from Spectrum Noir.
Step 1 SKIN - Using the Original colouring system markers.
I draw the Shadows with the Color TN3 and for slightly lighter Shadows I use FS4. For the lightest shade I am using FS2 and FS6 on the cheeks. You can go from light to dark, or as I do Dark to light. But for beginners it is recommended to go light to dark as it is easier to blend this way.
Step 2 Hair
I start with the Color MB4 for the dark areas which tend to be the roots, tips and on wavy hair the mid section, I then go in with MB3 for my mid tons
With MB2 I blend the Colors and set the Highlights
Step 3 Clouds and Basket
I use BT3 for the darker/shadow areas and lighten the hole with BT1. But just a little bit, and I'm not coloring the whole cloud just adding a hint of colour.
Using TriBlend Markers
I draw the Dark Shadows on the basket with the Color TN4 then I blend with the Color TN2
At the End I blend/lighten the whole thing with TN1
Step 4 Dress and Bow
With CR6 I set the Shadows and then blend with the Color CR3, then I set the Highlights with CR1.For the shadows I use the Color BG4
and then I blend with BG2
Step 5 the Balloon
First I use the Color PP3 and set the dark Shadows. Then I blend with Color PP2
after that I take the Color PP1 and blend the two Colors and become brighter
Finished - I hope you enjoyed my Tutorial and now you have even more Fun mixing different Markers. See you soon
