Universal Underpainting Color?
Add dimension and realism by underpainting with Copic Markers! Use C6 underneath your V blending combination to create all purpose shade.
Vanilla Arts Company teaches Online Workshops and Livestream Coloring Challenges using the underpainting method. Students learn to layer colors realistically rather than blend.
Underpainting creates natural colors found in everyday life.

If you want to color something with a natural yet versatile shade color, stop looking through your V markers. Instead, grab a C marker!
Why?
Because more V will not make shade. The combination of the C and V marker families blends together to create the natural shade that you’re looking for!
Though the mixing of these colors may scare you at first, don’t worry! As long as you use a good coat of the second (V28), third (V25), and forth (V22) markers you will be fine. Give the Copic ink time to blend.
Remember, it’s always good practice to swatch your colors. It’s a great warm up for your coloring session and builds color confidence.
