Colouring Mediums

Hi again

Remember in an earlier post today I said I had been playing around with different colouring mediums, well I thought I would share what I have been doing.

Firstly I will show you Edwin, he has been coloured using Tombow markers in the following colours.

Pants - 526

Shirt and Cap - 933, 192

Patch on Pants - 856

Shoes - 992

Wings - 491

Skin - 850

Hair - 977

Shadows - N95

Yep both coloured using the above colours, the difference is in the paper used.

Stamped on 30gsm watercolour paper



Stamped on Canvas

The next are Tildas

Stamped on Xpress It paper and coloured with Copics



Stamped on 300 gsm watercolour paper

coloured using Distress Inks.

This method I think I need to practice heaps.

Stamped on Xpress It paper and

coloured using pencils and gamasol.

I only have a 36 set of Faber Castell Classic Colour pencils, nothing special about them, very limited in colour choice.  I have ordered a set of Prismacolor pencils just waiting for their arrival.

I am also going to purchase some Derwent Inktense pencils.  I would love to have the Faber Castell Polychromos pencils but at the moment they a priced a bit too high.

Last but not least is the Tilda in my previous post today.

Tilda is coloured with Tombow markers and of course is stamped on watercolour paper.

What is my favourite method of colouring???    Mmmmmmm let me see, I really don't have one, they all have their own qualities.  I colour in whatever takes my fancy at the time.

I have to say though that I have had Tombow and Marvy markers for ages and ages and never really used them til just recently.  I LOVE them and will be using them more, actually I ordered about another dozen colours just today. Can't wait for them to arrive.

I have been sorely neglecting my Tilda stamps too, I think I have just fallen in love with them again. Honestly Magnolia stamps are fantastic to colour up, I also like to colour LOTV stamps and am trying to find some Bombshell stamps.

I am no expert by any means but I am thinking of doing a Youtube video on colouring with Tombow markers using different papers. Hopefully I will be able to get to it tomorrow.

So there you have it.  What is your favourite method of colouring???

I would love to know, so if you leave a comment letting me know I would appreciate it.

Last post for today.
