Christmas Gift Tag - Coloring tutorial

 

Hi everyone, 

Eivor here and today I am going to show you how I colored an image on a Christmas gift tag. I used the digital stamp Kawaii Xmas Elf Gift and I think he is so cute!

But before I start to show you my coloring tutorial I want to tell you, so you don't miss, that in the shop all the "X-mas & Winter" and also all "Halloween" products are on SALE!! You get them for £1.50 !! Check out the SHOP!

So it is time for my coloring tutorial and I have colored the image with copics.

I will show you how I colored the clothes on the cute Elf, and we start with his hat.

I start with the darkest red and that is R89. I colored around the edges, where I want the hat to be darkest. 

My next color is R37, and i am extending the color just a little.

I then take R29 and extending a lot more, but leaving a space for the lightest color.

So to the last and lightest red color, R24. I now color the whole image. After this last red color I start from the beginning with the darkest color and go over the hat one more time. 

Now to the sweater and pants. For this  the blue color I used. I started with B93, and colored around the edges, where I wanted it to be darkest.

My next color is B91, and I am just going over the first color a little and extending.

I thought I could show that I am turning my image around and around, up and down when I color. I do that because it gives me more controll of the coloring.

So to my last blue color that is BG70. It is light so I have to go work a little more to get the colors to blend.

The shoes I wanted light brown, so I started with E43 and I go around the edges.

My next and second color is E42. I am going over the first color and extending a little. It is a small space so just need to extend a little. The last color I used on the shoes was E41, but I forgott to take a photo...

As I forgott to take a photo on the last color on the shoes I can show you that I colored the gloves on the same way, and the last color is E41. 

Now it is time for the white on the hat. I don't know how you feel, but I think it is difficult to color white spaces. I want to get better on it so I need to practice!!

On this image I started with C1. I go light, for me it is better and hopefully the image wont be destroyed...I start to draw a few lines/strokes and I leave a lot of white space. 

My next color was C0. I go over the all ready draw lines to blend and soft them up, not extending. 

My last color is C00 and with that I just gently going over the lines to blend a little more.

Hope you liked my turorial with the colors i used and that you got some inspiration.
