You don’t need a new Copic Marker or colored pencil class for everything you want to color. Good techniques add up! Color these photorealistic tangerines using a Vanilla Arts class on fantastical realism plus the rustic wood background from our class on realistic shadows. Combine your classes for amazing realism.
Color Amazing Projects Without a Specialized Class
It would be impossible to create a Copic Marker or colored pencil class for everything everyone wants to color.
Even if I devoted all my time to producing classes, 24 hours a day, non-stop, I still couldn’t please everyone.
The good news is that you don’t need a dedicated class to color this realistic advanced level food illustration
You can use techniques borrowed from other Vanilla Arts classes to color a tasty tangerine still life.
You can color these tangerines, your own fruit drawing, or any other orange stamp you encounter.
Good technique isn’t just good for one project.
Good technique is good for a lifetime of coloring!
Borrow & Combine Techniques to Create Original Coloring Projects
Make the most out of every coloring class you take!
To color this realistic line art with Copic and colored pencils, I used techniques from two Vanilla Arts classes:
Citrus Punch + Rustic Maple Leaf = a photorealistic still life food illustration
In the Citrus Punch online workshop, students learn how to use exaggerated color for fun yet semi-realistic results. Add personality, humor, and fun to your next coloring projects using this universal technique.
In the Rustic Maple Leaf coloring workshop students explore the color of real shadows, learning not to undervalue the element that adds more depth and dimension to your projects than you realize.
Tangerine Basket is an original digital stamp from Amy Shulke here at VanillaArts.com. Amy’s stamps are full of wide open spaces and no texture marks, allowing your coloring to shine though with realism and artistry.
