Hi everyone! It’s time for another challenge with Stamping Bella. This week we created using the {Mojo}Bella sketch found at the bottom of this post.
I stamped super cute and adorable new Santa has a Prezzie onto X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copic markers.
To determine highlight and shadow placement, I used the linear light guide from Marianne’s Shadows & Shading book.
As mentioned in this post, the guides are great for helping to determine placement of highlights and shadows. (The linear light guide is especially helpful in creating cast shadows.)
Marker can be applied directly onto the reusable guide to determine shading and shadow as well as highlights. Use a dark marker to indicate shadows and a brighter marker to indicate highlights. If the stamp comes with a pre-colored image, it can be very helpful to use that pre-colored image as a guide for placing the dark and light marker. Then, as you are coloring your own image, the clear guide can be repeatedly laid over your image as a visual guide in coloring. Marianne does an outstanding job explaining the process in the book. Once finished, hand sanitizer and a paper towel can be used to quickly wipe the placement guide clean.
Copic markers – BG13, BG49, BG70, C1, C2, C3, C5, C7, E00, E11, E35, E42, E43, R01, R37, R46, R59, Y21, YR23, YR27
