You have a few markers in your bag? Try this two-colour grading technique and learn how to transition between them. Take advantage of the versatility of markers and go outside to practice your skills with the nature around you.
MATERIALS:
- 2 different colour markers
- Intermediate colour marker
- Bleedproof paper for markers
- Drawing to colour in
INSTRUCTIONS:
Step 1: Colour in the drawing with the lighter colour.
Step 2: Use the medium hue for shading, leaving the initial colour visible for the brighter areas.
Step 3: Using the light-coloured marker, go over the parts where the two colours meet in order to make the transition more gradual.
Step 4: Use the dark hue to emphasize darker areas and go back to the medium hue to create a smooth transition between the two.
Step 5: Go over the entire drawing with the initial lighter colour to complete the gradation.
