Coloring Tip: Add Decorations Last. Don’t add details until you’ve created realistic shape & form. (Copic Marker, Colored Pencil)
We love to color the fun stuff first!
I know… and I don’t blame you either.
Some weeks it feels like we hardly get a chance to touch our Copic Markers and colored pencils. So when we do squeeze a little coloring time in between work and family stuff, we want to color something fun!
Like really cool, super shiny reflections?
