Text of the page (random words):
and will win some gorgeous graph it goodies to play with you don t have to use graph it markers to enter we accept any form of colouring it s up to you the winner of our last challenge will be announced next week let s see what the team have made for us nikky i love thinking about where the light direction is coming from when i colour and i always try to do it from different angles if i can rather than just straight ahead because it can really change the way your image looks considerably just have a play around you ll be surprised at the results another great trick is if you make a little booboo by using the wrong colour on your image or you just don t like what you did pick up your greys or some yellow tones and add shadows or light over the top and it will transform your image it then becomes about the light and shade rather than the actual colours you ve used so it s a great way to save an images otherwise destined for the trash i haven t made a card for you but i wanted to show you this great little technique for helping where you need to add light and shade take your image and either stamp or print it twice then mark up one with a pencil as shown this is a failsafe way of mapping out your light areas before you start and you can keep this in a journal for future reference i coloured onto watercolour card with this image it certainly makes you think about your shading and it takes longer to see the final results so you kinda have to wait a little or you ll overdo things i used face 4125 4150 3210 4145 4135 this photo makes the skin look much yellower than it is in real life i think at some point i might have coloured the whole face with 4115 instead of 4125 without realising i d picked up the wrong marker but i don t mind as it just adds to the overall tone of the light source also the watercolour paper has a cream tone to it and that did affect the underlying skintone when i laid the first colour down it was quite noticable as i personally don t like the warmer tones hair 3210 3245 3250 3280 3290 clothing 4150 3210 9400 9401 background shadows 3210 9400 9401 penni i chose to have my light source directed straight from the front here s my card graph it markers used jeans 7105 7110 7115 7119 after colouring the jeans i used some scrap denim sprayed with some mix it fluid and dabbed firmly to give a textured appearance i then coloured the rest of the image skin 4120 4125 4155 4170 4135 cheeks lips hair 2105 2110 2130 blouse 8110 8120 9201 scarf 5115 5120 yvonne hi everyone well this challenge was really hard for me a specific light source made me want to hide i interpreted the challenge theme as the item giving light and how it fell on the image eventually i found an image with a light bulb i know it s not the best idea but i ploughed ahead anyway i hope you can see where the light falls markers used are as follows skin 4120 4155 4150 3210 4145 4135 4175 hair 1250 3110 3140 3160 nightdress 9103 9104 9105 9106 bedspread

share to pinterest labels claire c penni yvonne friday 5 september 2014 wk 36 amazing hair graph it colouring challenge hello everyone friday again the weeks certainly are flying by time for a brand new challenge to start today and we thought we d go back to one of our favourites and something we all struggle with i think amazing hair yep it sure can be hard to get the hairtones right sometimes although if you follow the graph it colour chart it s pretty easy but we all struggle to come up with different combinations week in week out so we thought we d try and give you some ideas this week you have until fri 19th sept at noon gmt to enter the challenge and you can use any colouring medium to enter just please follow our rules over in the sidebar our random winner will receive a set of markers to try and the design team will choose our fave top 3 for design and technique we have a new team member to introduce to you today the lovely lizzy smith has joined us with her graph it markers and she is loving them she says she s going to ditch her other brand wow that s some testament huh we all adore lizzy s colouring she is truly talented at the colouring malarky if you haven t yet tried graph it and are wondering what the points of difference are basically 168 colours and growing new trend colours each year mean you can stay on top of art and fashion trends vibrant rich colours easy blending great colour chart we ve started the range with all the steadfast basics you need and are adding to those to help you build your collections colours which are not available in any other marker unique fantastic blender which actually does blend not just blur our blender is highly recommended by the uk pencil society for using as a pencil blender with brands like prisma pencils to replace sansador easy to follow colour blending system follow the number groups and it s easy a broad chisel tip and a bullet nib as standard interchangeable and replacable nibs including an awesome brush nib which can replace your chisel if you wish 20 more ink than most other brands amazing value for money you re getting a premium quality marker for around half the price of it s biggest competitor and 20 more ink for this reason they re not refillable because economically they would then have to cost a lot more money ergonomic designed barrel meaning your hands don t tire so much this feature has already been copied by other marker brands but the composition of materials used for the barrel really do make a difference these don t slide around when your fingers get hot and sweaty superb blending means you can use and blend with your other brands until you build up your collection meaning you don t have to make a huge one off investment all at once although you ll want to anyway lol i m sure there are lots of great benefits to graph its that i ve missed out but if you haven t tried them yet give them a go but remember you need that colour chart so you can blend using the colour system right let s get to the inspiration from the team for the challenge we will announce the last challenge winners next week cara i love colouring hair the wilder the colour the better so this has to be one of my favourite challenge themes i chose to use this amazing image kawaii from the dollie goes east collection cd rom she is also available as a digital image for instant
