Taylor is giving away one $25 gift certificate to a random participant and FIVE $25 certificates to the top 5 cards judged by the Taylored Expressions Sketch Crew (that includes me)!
Here is my inspiration with the #100 sketch. I paired up many of my favorite things.MELISSA FRANCES papers and rub-ons
MY FAVORITE THINGS pure innocence girl
SPELLBINDER dies
COPIC PRODUCTS!
A couple things to note: Rub-on sentiments are fabulous! They stick to uneven surfaces and even to twill...like I did here!
Sewing on paper adds such a pretty vintage touch. To sew around the circle....just go slow and keep lifting your presser foot (with the needle in the down position) and shifting your paper. I did this about every 5 stitches or so.
Try to do all your pencil coloring (like I did for the shadowing around my girl) AFTER you are all done your marker coloring. This way you won't be in danger of clogging your nibs with the waxy residue of the pencil.
Here is a close shot of the main image....I colored her with copic markers, then I shadowed around her with my prismacolor pencils and while my circle die was still in place I airbrushed a very soft BV0000 to change my white paper to a soft lavender.I was meaning to post this tutorial last week on how I color skin tones....so I finally got to it.
The video is a little dark, as the day is really rainy and gloomy here, but you get the idea...
Here is the video version of coloring skin:
Here is the sketch so you can play along in TAYLOR'S challenge.
