Art instructor, Amy Shulke from VanillaArts.com draws and colors live, answering your questions about grayscale coloring and black to gray alcohol markers.
The Neutral, Warm, Cool, and Toner Gray families of Copic Markers are completely misunderstood! Years of incomplete tutorials, bad information, and confused color theory have taught thousands of colorers and young artists to use grayscale coloring techniques which were never intended for regular use. If your gray elephants, black cats, or silver candlesticks never look realistic, the Big Grayscale Myth is why!
Join Amy as she draws and colors a Halloween witch hat starting from fresh white paper. Amy shows a better way to understand and utilize the full range of gray markers. This is also an excellent peek into how trained artists develop a drawing from concept through to a full color rendering.
Improve your realism and add artistry to your future coloring projects when you understand how gray markers were intended to be used.
