Amy Shulke: Marker + Pencil
Beginner Copics: Easy YG, G, and BG Starter Markers
updated
It's standard practice to color highlights with the lightest marker in your blending combination. In fact, most people refer to it as "the highlight color". Now many people are using this same technique with colored pencils-- building pencil combinations as "shade, medium, and highlight color".
Then as the cherry on top, everyone adds little white dots and dashes with a gel pen.
Psssttt... did you ever notice this highlighting technique rarely looks realistic?
Join Amy as she draws and colors a Valentine Lollipop starting on fresh white paper. Amy shows you a better way to understand the disconnect between coloring techniques and the way artists approach coloring with realism. Over the years, Amy has pioneered a fun way to use fine art painting techniques with alcohol markers and colored pencils. In this livestream, she'll offer tips for moving your art in a direction that reflects your taste and style rather than the latest marker trick of the month.
Improve your realism and add artistry to your future coloring projects when you understand how artists approach highlights, plus and why popular novelty tutorials result in cartoonish and flat projects.

Whether you're using alcohol markers or colored pencils, blending combinations have become a popular resource for people who love to color.
Blending combinations are great-- for beginners...
But if you're more than a month or two into coloring and you're still using nothing but color recipes borrowed from someone else? Blending combinations are now a crutch, holding you back from progressing as an artist.
Illustrator and art instructor, Amy Shulke shares her easy process for finding colors from easy resources. We're starting with a common purple blending combo, then increasing the realism and adding artistic touches.
If the idea of creating your own blending combinations scares you, let's break down the color selection process. This is easier than you think!
Note: This video is not a step by step coloring tutorial. This is a lesson on color selection, intended to encourage you to begin coloring with your unique and special artistic voice. Become the artist you were born to be by taking this easy step towards expressive and original artwork.

Gray art supplies are holding you back, preventing you from coloring with realism and artistry.
For years you've been debating whether to use Warm, Cool, Neutral, Toner, or French grays when the real question should have been, "is this even gray at all?"
Illustrator and art instructor, Amy Shulke shares her marker painting process, coloring an antique silver fork with amazing color and vibrancy using Copic Markers and Holbein Colored Pencils.
If you've been using the same gray blending combinations for years and you're frustrated because your coloring never seems to improve to the point where it looks artistic-- your extremely literal use of color is part of the problem.
Marker painting is a fine arts approach to coloring where we focus on shape and value instead of worrying about whether this marker blends with that marker. When we emphasize the form with correct values and accurate desaturation, realism happens automatically.
Note: This video is not a step by step tutorial. This is not a coloring lesson. Instead, we're sharing the thought process that goes into advanced artistic coloring. The coloring supplies you already own have enormous potential when you stop obsessing over blends and color. You can do this!

Do you love to try novelty techniques in your coloring projects? Maybe you dab a wet cloth soaked in colorless blender over your coloring to create texture or maybe you draw a brick pattern with a chisel nib. Sure, it's fun to create special effects but you're also kinda hoping that this new technique will add more realism to the objects you color. Maybe you've even spent money on texture classes?
Psssttt... If techniques created realism, we'd all color like photographs.

Join me, illustrator and art instructor, Amy Shulke as I share my process for coloring a photorealistic red Christmas ornament with Copic Markers and Holbein Colored Pencils. Let me show you what's possible when you stop focusing on blending techniques and blending combinations and start coloring like an artist.
Too many people learn beginner marker coloring techniques and then stagnate, using the same beginner level techniques for decades. If you're growing bored with coloring books and digital stamps, if you're wondering why your coloring always looks cartoonish, or if you've always wanted to do more than just color, let me show you the world beyond blending. Marker painting is a fine arts approach to coloring and it's very different than the average coloring class.

Join me, illustrator and art instructor, Amy Shulke as we explore Copic Marker YR24 "Pale Sepia" plus how I enhance this ordinary golden orange marker with colored pencils. I've used colored pencil over marker illustrations for almost 30 years and I've got lots of tips and tricks to share.
If you're matching your pencils to the markers, you're missing an amazing opportunity to create new and unique colors, to express yourself artistically, and to develop your own personal style. Let's move beyond a literal interpretation of color to mix markers and pencils the way classically trained painters use paint. This is a fine arts approach to coloring and very different than the average coloring class.

Depth and dimension are popular buzz-words in the coloring community but odds are, what you've been taught is wrong. Do you know the difference between depth and dimension? Do you understand why blending combinations do not create depth or dimension on their own?

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!

Applied Color Theory for Alcohol Markers.
Join illustrator and art instructor, Amy Shulke from VanillaArts.com in a color theory exercise for red markers. The human brain doesn't read red with the same accuracy we see other colors, so when we combine our assumptions with only a small range of red markers, it's no wonder people shade red in extreme ways. Color theory can help us make better shade selections-- but if all you ever hear about is the color wheel, you're missing the heart of color theory. Amy walks you through her coloring process for desaturating red Copic Markers and Prismacolor pencils. If you’ve ever been disappointed by your red blending combinations or if you're using deep purple or even brown markers to shade red, this series of videos will change the way you approach coloring red objects forever.

Applied Color Theory for Alcohol Markers.
Join illustrator and art instructor, Amy Shulke from VanillaArts.com in a color theory exercise for green markers. Green is a challenge to shade with realism because green markers typically aren't dark enough for leafy shade. 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 green with magenta Copic Markers and Prismacolor pencils. If you’ve ever been disappointed by your green blending combinations or if you're still using green or blue markers to shade green, this series of videos covers the color theory info you actually need.

Applied Color Theory for Alcohol Markers.
Join illustrator and art instructor, Amy Shulke from VanillaArts.com in a color theory exercise for green G or YG markers. There are so many green markers to choose from, how do you know which will shade leaves for photorealism? Color theory can help but if all you ever hear about is the color wheel, you're missing the real story. Amy walks you through her coloring process for desaturating green with pink Copic Markers and Prismacolor pencils. If you’ve ever been disappointed by your leafy green blending combinations or if you're using muddy green markers to shade bright green, this series of videos will change the way you approach coloring forever.
This exercise is for marker selection-- this is not a coloring or blending tutorial. Color selection is a struggle for most colorers and is not taught in classes which use a specific marker supply list. Seeing a professional artist in action, picking colors and explaining why colors work/fail can be very helpful in developing your own artistry.

Applied Color Theory for Alcohol Markers.
Join illustrator and art instructor, Amy Shulke from VanillaArts.com in a color theory exercise for yellow Y markers. It's hard to shade yellow objects with markers because marker companies don't make many true dark yellow markers. Color theory can help but if all you ever hear about is the color wheel, you're missing the real story. 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 using orange or brown (yuck!) markers to shade yellow, this series of videos will change the way you color forever.

This exercise is for marker selection and is not a coloring or blending tutorial. Color selection is the process marker users struggle with most and it's not taught in classes which provide a set supply list. Seeing a professional artist in action, picking colors and explaining why colors work or fail can be very helpful in developing your own artistry.
Amy offers a different approach to alcohol markers than the standard light-medium-dark blending combinations, encouraging students to layer markers the way fine artists use paint. Texture, value, and desaturation are possible with artist grade markers and colored pencils. You can color with realism... if you can move past a reliance on the same ol' standard light to dark technique.

WARNING: AT THE 48:00 MARK, I mention Prismacolor Lilac PC956. Lilac has been discontinued. Don't worry, my intention was that I'd use EITHER Lilac or Parma Violet. If you have an old Lilac pencil, you can use it. If you're shopping, get Parma Violet PC1008. It's a very useful color for more than just yellow.

Many adult colorers try to grow their skills with schedule based practice routines. But learning and growth requires something more than logging minutes with a pencil or marker in your hand.
Amy Shulke, a professional illustrator and art instructor, shows you the benefits of practicing slower and deeper with more time for reflection. It may mean fewer projects completed but slowing down can cure your skill plateau and foster greater creativity in the long run.

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.

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 they're 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.

Smooth color blending is fun but the world around you is full of texture. You can read all the tutorials, take all the dimensional coloring classes but if you're smoothing everything into a perfect color blend, you're smoothing away the realism that comes from authentic texture.
Plus, everyone blends. You'll never find your own artistic style if you always color the same way as everyone else!
Authentic texture, it's an important key to realism.

Coloring by the rules and heavy reliance upon tutorials and published marker/pencil recipes is a way of hiding what makes you special and important.
You'll never find your own artistic style if you always mimic, duplicate, and copy.
In this video we discuss how people see color differently and the importance of adding your own sense of color to your adult coloring projects.
__________
Learn to color "Ink & Hydrangea" in my latest online coloring workshop! The 3.5 hour video course is a challenge level project for intermediate to advanced adult colorers.
The Ink & Hydrangea project teaches you how to shift your color temperatures to enhance depth. We also practice several other Vanilla Arts techniques including Pushing & Pulling for dimension, Sgraffito for fine details, and how to create realistic transparent glass.
Ink & Hydrangea is an original mixed media drawing and lesson by Amy Shulke of VanillaArts.com. Supplies include Copic Markers, Staedtler Triplus Pens, and Prismacolor Soft Core Colored Pencils.

In this video we discuss how black lined stamps and coloring images hamper your growth as an artist. Heavy outlines visually dominate your images; viewers will always see the black lines before they see your coloring.
Look around you, real life doesn't have outlines!
The Vanilla Arts online coloring class ("Tree Frog") focuses on using color sculpting to define the edges of your objects, helping you ditch the reliance on coloring book outlines.

In this video we discuss how the obsession with crayon-box colors hampers your ability to color with realism. It also keeps you from developing your own style or voice.
Glazing is a technique developed in 17th century Holland and we can use it today with Copic Markers and colored pencils!
The latest Vanilla Arts online coloring class ("Dragonfly") is an introduction to the glazing technique for markers + pencils.

We all understand that glass is transparent but that presents a serious challenge for adult colorers... because which Copic Markers or colored pencils make transparency? That's why so many tutorials recommend blue markers, because blue sounds logical.
But logical doesn't look real! Amy discusses why glass is more than blue markers. She demonstrates a simplified version of her method for coloring glass with moderate realism.
