Colouring Cloud Tutorial - Copic Marker Europe DT


Hello everyone! If you are looking for my Make It Crafty/ Simply Betty Stamps Hollywood Release post (Day 2), please click HERE! And if you want to play for Day 3/today, guess the movies and win fantastic prizes, the blog hop starts HERE!

I'm back today with a tutorial about clouds, which I made for Copic Marker Europe. For this tutorial, I am using an adorable digi image called Daisies Garden by Di's Digi Designs, and the Copics I use for my sky and clouds are BG0000, 000, C0, 1, 3 and my blender.

Me revoilà avec le tutoriel que j'ai fait pour Copic Marker Europe portant sur les nuages. L'image utilisée s'appelle Daisies Garden, un digi que je trouve trop mignon de Di's Digi Designs. Les Copics que j'ai utilisés pour le ciel et les nuages sont le BG0000, 000, C0, 1, 3 et mon blender.
****************************************

STEP 1: I draw clouds using my lightest colour for the sky, BG0000.
Etape 1: Je dessine les nuages avec le bleu le plus clair que j'utilise pour le ciel, le BG0000.

 Please note, the image does not come with a black frame, I added it as a guide  to know where my background would stop and where to put my clouds. I like to have some clouds in the corners.
Juste une remarque, l'image originale ne contient pas de cadre noir, je l'ai ajouté pour déterminer où s'arrêterait ma scèneet savoir où placer mes nuages (j'aime en mettre dans les coins).
****************************************

STEP 2: I colour the sky covering the whole surface with BG0000,  and add little strokes of BG000.
Etape 2: Je colorie le ciel en recouvrant toute la surface avec mon BG0000 et j'ajoute des petites touches de BG000.

****************************************

STEP 3: I start colouring my clouds with my darkest grey, C3, making little dots.
Etape 3: Je commence à colorier les nuages avec mon gris le plus foncé, le C3, en faisant des petits points.

****************************************

STEP  4: I use C1 to cover my C3 dots and to widen the grey area, again making dots/ dabbing. I also add a bit of C1 in areas that are still white, at the top of some clouds.
Etape 4: Avec le C1, je recouvre mes points faits au C3 et j'étends la zone grise, en en faisant des petits points à nouveau. J'ajoute un peu de C1 dans des zones qui sont toujours blanches, en haut de certains nuages.

****************************************

STEP 5: Same idea, but now using my C0, I dab, widening the grey areas a bit more.
Etape 5: Même chose, mais cette fois avec mon C0, en agrandissant encore un peu la zone grise.

****************************************

STEP 6: I dab with my blender all over the area of the clouds, then I take my darkest colour again, C3, and add just a few tiny dots to get more depth...
Etape 6: Je tamponne avec mon blender toute la surface des nuages, puis j'ajoute avec ma couleur la plus somfoncée, C3, quelques tout petits points pour un peu plus de relief...

****************************************

STEP 7: I colour the rest of my image... Here it is, with my list of Copics...
Etape 7: Je colorie le reste de mon image... La voici, avec la liste de Copics...


 Skin/Peau: E0000, 000, 00, 11
Hair/Cheveux: E31, 33, 35, 37, Y11
Outfit/Vêtements: V0000, 000, 01, 04, E40, 41, 43
Daisies/Pâquerettes: Y11, 15, 19, YG03, 13, 17, 67
Mushrooms/Champignons: E13, 15, 17, 19, 40, 41, 43
