Copic Santa


Last card from the other nights class. Advanced Copic people are afraid of reds or don't like using them since they are a bit of a challenge. So I decided to use it in my Copic 101 so they didn't even develop that fear. And everyone did just fine. On this image I used a piece of flour towel and put some blending solution on it and pounded it lightly over the red parts. On the closeup you can see it is "textrued' then. You can do a lot of fun effects with the blending solution.

Now notice the little section where the red went outside the line? Use your chisel end of your Copic and 'push' the color back into the section it belongs. When working with darker colors like red...push a little and then let it dry. Then do it again and let it dry.  If you just keep trying and it is all saturated with the alcohol...it will start to just bleed everywhere. So the trick is to let it dry between each time.
