I always start with a cool beige, E50, as my 1st layer. Add some shadow with the BV00. To make the skin a bit warmer I add E00 and blend all the layers together with the E0000.

For this funny man I use the same colours, E50, BV00, E00 and E0000.

Her hair will be a bright yellow-orange. Start a layer of Y32. Add some Y35 and use Y38 for the deepest shadow. Blend all layers together with the Y32. 

In the end I decided to add the YR04  as well, to make the hair a little more orange. 

For the lips and her cheeks I use RV 21, 23 en 25. 

Her dress and eyes will be blue. I start with the B99. Add some B97 and B95. Blend the layers together with B93. 

Sometimes I start with the lightest colours first, but I also might start using the darkest one first. I can't explain why...silly isn't it. It's actually what you like best. 

Use for the dots on the dress the Y38 and the YR04.

For her fisheye :-) I used Y38, YR04, RV25, RV29, YG11, YG15 and YG17. 

More fisheyes to colour here. This time I use  the Y35, Y38 and the YR04.  

For his hat use the  Ik  YR11 and the YR 13.

I coloured his pants blue with B93, B95, B97 and B99. 

For his bow tie I use the RV 25 and the RV 29.

Hello everyone! It's Delphine here today to share a very special card, inspired by real life! People who know me a little know how much I love my baby beagles and I am extremely lucky to have had an image made by the fabulous Christy at Tiddly Inks, based on my second baby beagle who arrived home last month :) So I couldn't resist using this Baby Beagle by Tiddly Inks today!

I printed my image and die cut it with an MFT circle die, to then focus on the colouring.

I coloured the sky first, using B00 and B02. I added a cloud in BV20, C0 and C1 to avoid having a completely flat sky.

I then coloured my beagle with E30, 31, 34, 44 and 47 for the browns. I added shadows to the white colouring them in W00 first to see where I would place them and then W0, 1, 3.

Next I coloured the grass with my usual combo of G28, YG01, 03, 17 and 67.

So all the Copics I used are:

Sky: B00, 02

Grass: G28, YG01, 03, 17, 67

Beagle Puppy: E30, 31, 34, 44, 47, W00, 0, 1, 3

Now to add more depth, I added a few details to my image: birds in the sky with a Copic Multiliner, a bit of blue Distress Ink aroung the edges of my scene and I used Posca and gel pens to add blades of grass and dots for flowers.

I then mounted my image on another MFT die cut and on a piece of BoBunny DP. The sentiment was done using Make it Crafty Alpha Chipboard painted in white acrylic. 

Thank you very much for your visit, have a great day! Hugs,

Delphine xx

Tree: G24, YG06, YG03

Carrot: YR12, YR16, YR18

Arms and tree: E31, E33, E35

Hat and gloves: N3, N5, N7

Bell: Y13, Y17

Hat and scarf: R43, R24, R46

On the background:

Colours:  B23, B24, B26, B32, BV02

First I marked where I wanted to start the background, using N1

Taking the B32 I used a flicking motion to add colour upwards, starting from where I marked it with the N1. 

Next I added B23, upwards from the N1 and downwards from the top of the paper. 

I applied some BV02

In turn, each time using a darker colour, 

I kept adding more depth until I was happy with the shading, also adding some BV02

Using N1, N3 and 0 I shaded the ground. 

Cut the image down to size, mat it, and pop on the front of a card base. 

You can also add snow by applying some white gel pen, if desired. 

Thanks for dropping by and I hope you enjoyed this tutorial
