Video: No Line Coloring and Line Art Sketchbook Look



Today’s creation whisks you outside to a peaceful afternoon sketching in a lovely garden! The realism of the flowers in Stately Flowers 11 are just right for some no line coloring with our new Amalgam inks, and the book and pencil stamps from Open Book * are perfect to finish the illusion when you stamp the flowers again on the page in a pencil or ink pen color.  In this video, I’ll demonstrate the no line coloring and some simple sponging and adding grass to complete the scene.  Can you feel a gentle breeze?  Be sure to watch to the end for some variations I suggest for changing this design.



PS OOPS! I am SO SORRY I forgot to add the grass in my demo, ackk! A s you can see that detail really adds a LOT to this scene.  It took me 10 seconds after I’ve finished taping to figure out what was missing, lol! I promise it’s very simple: just do short flicking strokes with the 2 lightest greens (here CG1, CG2) using your brush of bullet tip marker, starting at the edge of the book and working outward, so it tapers off. Just like a blade of grass. Easy peasy! Using more than one color for the blades will add a lot of depth.
