New Chibi Coloring Video

 

Hi everyone! Brand Ambassador kel here to share a quick coloring video with you using the new Chibi release Smile. She comes as a Clear Stamp but I'm working with her as a digital stamp which is also available in the Stampers Delights store!

She is just too adorable!! I have a speed coloring video to share with you today... and I apologize again in advance as my hand blocks so much of the coloring - I'm still getting used to a new rig and setup and figuring out the best placement for everything... and think I need another light or two as well!!

Here's the speed coloring video - it's sped up 4x so this image took me about 40 minutes to complete.

And if it doesn't work, click here to see the video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/SL7PjBa3ggY.

New Chibi Clear Stamp Tutorial

Good evening everyone, Brand Ambassador Vannessa here again, sharing another tutorial of my colouring for you all. 

Today I have used the newly released Chibi Smile clear stamp set, which is just adorable. Again, I just love having lots of accessories stamps in these sets to make backgrounds which work perfectly with the image. No need to hunt for matching patterned papers, as you can make your own. 

I have taken photos of each step in my colouring with the Copic colours alongside, so you can see how I have built up each part to get my final image. 

I always use Memento Tuxedo Black for my Copic colouring and use blending card that works perfectly with them too. 

First I colour the skin using my favourite combo. It always looks a bit dark against the white background, but once the rest is coloured, it lightens up the skin. 

For the mouth, I add just a touch of E04 in the corners and fill the rest with R20.

I tend to leave my hair until last as I choose colours that will coordinate with the clothes, so I coloured the skirt and headphones next in one of my favourite pink combos.

I love pink and yellow together, so went with this bright yellow for the shirt, using a light brown as the undertone for the shading. This just adds a little more depth than the yellows do by themselves. 

I used the same yellow combo for the stripes on the socks, but this time added a little shading on the darker edges of the socks with my C0 to keep it white, but still adding a little shading at the same time. 

Next I decided to use a light brown combo for the tie and shoes, which adds that neutral balance to the colours used so far. 

I now get to the hair and as there is lots of it, I coloured it in three parts - the fringe first, then each pigtail. I have done two layers of the colours here to get a deeper, richer shade and to make sure all those darker sections where the strands overlap remain in shadow.

For the eyes, I have used three of the same colours as the hair so they coordinate well.

For the headphones, I wanted the cushion part to remain white, but it still needs a little shading so I added some C1 and C2 and then went over the very edges with my blender pen to blend it out to more or less white.

And here is my final coloured version of this cutie.

I have fussy cut her out and added her here to the stamp set. You can see how fabulous this set is! 

And here is my card. I created the background using my Distress Oxide inks and my blender brushes, before adding the music notes and treble chef from the set in black ink. I then added some dots of Nuvo Drops to add a little texture and shimmer. 

And here is my card and stamp set together. 

I hope you have enjoyed my step-by-step colouring tutorial today and I hope it has inspired you to maybe try some new colour combos as well. 

Please do pop back next weekend as there will be more tutorials from the rest of the DT each Friday and Saturday this month. 

New Anime Clear Stamp Tutorial

Hello everyone, Brand Ambassador Vannessa here and welcome to my first step-by-step tutorial for Stampers Delights. I am so excited about sharing this tutorial with you all today, so I hope you like it. 

I am using the gorgeous, newly released Anime Believe in Yourself clear stamp set and I am sharing with you how I have coloured her two-tone hair. 

Before I started on the hair, I coloured the rest of the image, mostly because when colouring black hair, I am conscious that I might pick up the black with my other colours. I always try to do the darkest colours last to prevent any mistakes. 

I have used these Copic markers for this part of the stamp:

Skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20, R30

Eyes - BG07, BG09

Tie & Skirt - BG11, BG13, BG15, BG18

Shirt - V12, V15, V17, V09

Trim - RV06, RV09

Lollipop - RV02, RV04, V04, V06

As this stamp has a fringe (or bangs) and pigtails, I have kept the fringe part of the hair black and just added my second colour to the bottom of the pigtails. 

I now start to colour the pigtails with the black part at the top and the pink at the bottom. I do the darkest shade of each colour first, working up towards a middle point where the two colours overlap. 

Now for the second colour in each combo, continuing to flick each colour towards the mid point.

And now the final colour for each one. You can see here that where the colours overlap, the colour has an almost purple tinge to it.

With black hair especially, I always do a second layer of colour to deepen it and make it look less grey. I did the same with the pink as well. see how vibrant that pink looks now.

Here is the coloured version, which has been fussy cut out, over the top of the stamp set.

And here is my card. I used the circles and dots from the stamp set to create my own background paper, using colours that matched my coloured image. I also added the sentiment using the same pink combo as on the hair.

And finally the card, with the stamp set so you can see how well they go together. 

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my colouring process today and hope it has inspired you to give two-tone hair a try on your Stampers Delights images. 

Please do pop back again tomorrow for another fabulous tutorial.
