This book has made me look at my images before I start coloring, and has taught me how to add dimension to my images by adding shading and highlights in the right place! What
a difference it makes! The book also comes with several light study templates that will help you place the highlights and shadows in the perfect place.
This book is available at most Rubber Stamp and Scrapbook stores - ask for it by name SHADOWS AND SHADING by Marianne Walker.
If they do not have it in stock, many will be happy to order it for you....

Oh how I need this book! I am getting a little better, but I am not artist for sure! Of course, I believe I can learn, just takes me longer and a little help, so this would be so great to have. It's just what I believe would help me sooo much! Thanks! Leah Ann
ReplyDeleteI echo just what Hoosier Stamper said, plus I cannot afford Copic classes at this time, so this prize is one I'd treasure. If you, as a Certification Instructor, could learn from it, think what I could learn!

ReplyDeleteMy comfort zone does not include coloring because I don't know how to blend, shade and make an image look "real". I only have TWO copic markers, which were given to me by a friend. If I could just get some good insructions, I know that I would embrace this technique on my cardmaking (and buy a whole lot more copics!). So please throw my name into the drawing hat for this fabulous book and I'll keep my fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteOh I would LOVE to have this book to increase my skills!!
