Do your yellow Copic Marker blending combinations look flat and fake? Let's use color theory to shade realistic daffodil flower using an unexpected violet marker.
Applied Color Theory for Alcohol Markers.
Join illustrator and art instructor, Amy Shulke from VanillaArts.com in a color theory exercise for yellow markers. Yellow is a challenge to shade with realism. Color theory can help but most color theory videos are nothing more than color wheel tours. Amy walks you through her coloring process for desaturating yellow with violet Copic Markers and Prismacolor pencils. If you’ve ever been disappointed by your yellow blending combinations or if you're still using orange or brown markers to shade yellow, this series of videos covers the color theory info you actually need.
