Are you brand new to Copic Markers? In this episode, I demonstrate a super-simple blending technique for beginner and starter level colorers. We're using two-marker blending combinations to create silky smooth color blends and then improving the look further with detail pens and Prismacolor Colored Pencils.

"Lazy Gummy Bears" is an introductory level adult coloring project using Copic Markers, Prismacolor Soft Core Colored Pencils, Staetdler Triplus Pens, and bear stamps from Lawn Fawn's "You're Claw-some" stamp set.

My name is Amy Shulke and I'm a technical illustrator in SE Michigan. I teach art-based coloring classes, locally and online. Visit me at VanillaArts.com
