![Copic Coloring Tips: Improve your Artistry by Avoiding Black Art Supplies
Do you want to develop a unique style and voice in your coloring? Learn how you can improve your Copic or colored pencil coloring and your artistry by challenging yourself to find new ways to color black objects.
Many adult colorers use childhood definitions of color, assuming they know what color things are based on snap judgements. Artists look deeper to see more than color names. They look at hue, temperature, and value before they decide to automatically use black marker.
Amy Shulke, a professional illustrator, shows you the benefits of looking deeper at color, to capture more expressive and more authentic color in your projects.
