Copic class day 4 directional lighting and shading

This is my practice sheet playing around with directional lighting and shading. Used different blending techniques as well.

Copic online class day 3:shading with grey

This one was fun, just challenging because I don't have many grey tones. I have super dark grey and then light ones. Lighter colors worked well with the warm grey W3 but would like some cool grey tones to try as well. The last umbrella  is N7 neutral grey and BV06 which is a dark violet , has more contrast in person. I shaded so the darkest part of umbrella was on the left side.

Day 2 for Copic online class, Blending techniques

I tried my hand at some different blending techniques. The birds are using tip to tip blending. 

The butterflies are a combination of tip to tip and feathering. Definitely need more practice but it is a start. 

Copic Markers for Card Makers Day1

Today was Class 1 for Copic Markers in my Online Card Class. We were instructed on different blending techniques. This is my practice sheet. I definitely need more colors I think, I got bored using the same ones over. Lots of green though. 

Here is the website for the online classes. They are a lot of fun.
