Vanilla Undercover: Underpaint with Copic Markers for Beautiful Realism - Muscari Blue
Real shade is not darker color, real shade is desaturated color. To create the desaturated colors that Copic Marker does not make, 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.
Layer Red under Blue markers for interesting depth and sophistication.

Are You Obsessed with Copic Marker Blending?
When you see artwork from your coloring heroes, it’s easy to be distracted by the rustic wood background and artfully placed curl of ribbon.

Which is a terrible thing to do to yourself!
Artist's Notebook: Check Your Color Values! (Copic Marker, Colored Pencil)
Tell me if this sounds right…
You’ve colored for months or maybe years, and you’re pretty darned good at it. There’s no tutorial that you can’t knock out of the park.
And yet when you go off on your own, picking original color palettes and choosing your own markers or pencils… well… your coloring is still good but, uhm… there’s something missing.
Your personal projects don’t have the same oh-la-la you see in professional projects.
You can’t quite put your finger on it, but something is just… off?
