Sorry this picture is bright

Go round the edge with SANDSTONE

 Now over that with CHAMPAGNE dragging the SANDSTONE out 

 Then go over the SANDSTONE again

 Then again go over with CHAMPAGNE 

 Now go over it all with LINEN

 TWICE

 Then with a fine tip attached go round the edge with COCOA

Then over again with LINEN to blend.  

Do this until you are satisfied with the colour.

With SHALE go in the darkest area. (don't forget the bit in between the crown)

 Then with BURGUNDY go over the SHALE, dragging it out

 Now with CARDINAL RED go over the previous 2 colours

Now with RUBY repeating the same technique as before dragging the other colours out

Go over the whole thing with LIPSTICK RED

 Use the same method and colours for the trim of the chair and the rope around the bottom.

 Now using BURNT SIENNA go around the bottom of the chair

 Go over the BURNT SIENNA with COCOA dragging the previous colour out

Now using TAN colour the whole lot.

Using EGYPTIAN BLUE here

Then COBALT BLUE here dragging the EGYPTIAN BLUE out.

Go over it all with ARTIC BLUE (you may need to blend a couple of times)

For the clothes I used GOLD here

Blend with BUTTERCUP leaving a small white area for the highlights or go over it all with IVORY 

 Onto the boots RAW SIENNA around the edges

Go over the RAW SIENNA with NUTMEG dragging the previous colour out 

Go over the whole boot with LIGHT FAWN

Do the same process again but leave out NUTMEG

For the edges of the crown and the 'studs' of the chair i used gel pens

Colouring Tutorial

Hi everyone, 

A little while there was a conversation on Facebook about the correct colours for Forever Friends Bears.  As you will know i am more of a Promarker user than Copics, although i do use them occasionally.  So i decided to share how i do my Forever Friend Bears with Promarkers.

THIS IS A PICTURE HEAVY POST, SO YOU MAY WANT TO GRAB A CUP OF TEA!! 

The colours i have used are:

Oatmeal

Vanilla

Ivory

Coral

Sunkissed Pink

Cocktail Pink

Pale Pink

Blossom

Cool Grey 1, 2 and 3

I used Rymans 200gsm Bright White Coated Card

The stamp is from the Forever Friends New Arrivals Set

PLEASE NOTE:  I am not trained in anyway and am completely self taught.  I have followed numerous tutorials myself and just thought i would share how i do things.

So lets get started

 Using Oatmeal go around the edge of the head

 Now go over the Oatmeal with Vanilla, dragging the Oatmeal out

 Go around the edge again with Oatmeal

 Over again vanilla dragging it out more

 Keep repeating 

 More vanilla

 Now add in Ivory.  You need to do this TWICE.  I used the chisel end for quickness

 Now do the arms using the same process as the head

 Now the tummy and Feet

 Now the pads and ears.  Using Coral go around the edge as shown

 Then Sunkissed pink over the top of the Coral

 Now with Pale Pink, go over the whole lot.

 I wanted a pinker effect so i went over it again with Sunkissed Pink

 The Blossom 

 Still not what i wanted so i went round the edge with Cocktail pink and coloured the whole thing with Blossom

 Now for the bunny,  I did this grey this time but i would probably do it pink, lemon or blue depending on the recipient of the card.

 Using Cool Grey 3 (above) go around the edge the go over it dragging it out slightly with Cool Grey 2

 Go over it all with Cool Grey 1

 Then repeat the process leaving Cool Grey 2 out.

 Using Cocktail Pink, give the bunny some rosey cheeks ( i noticed i missed this out on the bear, but i would do the same process as with the bunny) and just inside the ears

Then blend in with Pale Pink

And here is the finished bear the morning after, when it is completely dry.  If you feel it hasn't blended enough go over the whole bear with Ivory.

I hope this has been useful for you.  If there is something in particular you would like to see coloured please leave a comment and i will do my best to help!

Thank you for looking x
