Would you like to color more realistic looking ice cream with Copic Markers or colored pencils like Prismacolor, Luminance, or Polychromos? Stop trying to blend everything smooth! Real life is not smooth and your coloring should not be super smooth either.
Join Amy for a fun exploration of basic scumbling texture. Breaking up your blends can start you on the road to realistic coloring. In this video, we're doing moderate level realism but you can use this same textural mindset to get photorealism results if you practice!
"Triple Scoop" is an intermediate level adult coloring project using Copic Markers, Prismacolor Soft Core Colored Pencils, Sharpie or Posca Extra Fine water-based paint pen, and the "Triple Scoop" digital stamp from VanillaArts.com

![Copic Coloring Tips: Realism Respects the Laws of Physics (alcohol marker & colored pencil)
Do you want to add more realism to your Copic Marker or colored pencil projects? In this video we explore one of the essential keys to realistic coloring that many adult colorers completely neglect - the laws of physics, thats gravity and light.
Real objects cast real shadows. Adding shadows to your coloring project triggers the optical illusion of reality for your viewers. Your objects must look as if they have presence in space, that theyre subject to the laws of gravity, and that they interact with their surroundings by either blocking or reflecting light. Realism is basic physics!
Amy Shulke, a professional illustrator, shows you how to stop adding background distractions and start adding realistic settings to your coloring projects.
Learn to color Rustic Maple Leaf in my latest online coloring workshop! The 2.25 hour video course is a challenge level project for intermediate to advanced adult colorers.
