Garden Dirt: Copic Marker Blending Combinations for Realistic Coloring (Orange)
Let’s Color Realistic Oranges!
Today I’m showing you an up close, tight shot of just one glorious orange. It’s based on a brand new digital stamp from Marcella at PowerPoppy.com.
The entire Oranges and Aloe stamp has a lot more to color. To my eye, this is the best orange in Marcella’s line drawing, it’s a juicy cut-half showing off the cute orange segments which are perfect for fun texture details.
I’ve colored the orange with a combination of Copic Markers and Prismacolor Premier Pencils.
So why would I name this color swatching series after dirt? Take a closer look.
This isn’t just any old Copic color swatch…

Pssstttt… that’s why your white flowers are flat and lifeless.
Let’s look up-close at beautiful white flowers that are everything but white.
Colorful whites are easier than you think. You can do this!
