Coloring Skin Tones With Copic Markers - Essentials By Ellen June 2018 Release

Hi everyone!  Thanks for stopping by today.  I'm glad you're here.  Today I'm sharing some projects featuring the new Essentials By Ellen June 2018 Release.  There are three new Leading Ladies and a fun new Pattern Play stamp set.

When I started coloring these Leading Ladies, I decided I really wanted to explore some different skin tones.  For whatever reason, I've always found this a little intimidating.  I have a normal go-to fair skin combo that I tend to use...but I wanted to experiment with some other tones.  Today's video really centers around coloring various skin tones with Copic Markers and what I found works.  This is certainly not an all inclusive list of variations, but it's a good jumping off point.

In addition to the card I created in today's video tutorial, you will also find some photos of other cards I created featuring the new June 2018 Essentials By Ellen products in the gallery below.  Be sure to check those out.  I love that I can use the ladies as a focal point on my card, or group several of the smaller images together for a totally different look and feel.  

These ladies would also mix and match well with the previously released Leading Ladies.  It's fun to mix and match and see what you can create!

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you've enjoyed this card project.  Until next time, I hope you have a fabulous day.

XOXO
