Sharpies Coloring Video Series by Coloring Pages Bliss – Part 5 – Sharpie Base Layer

(Affiliate links are used throughout this post.)

Part 5 of Coloring Pages Bliss’ Sharpie video series shows us how to:
-Color with a light sharpie base layer

-Blend and shade over that with colored pencils

As Jennifer suggests, this is nice easy way to lay on color and blend without a lot of work. It also saves on expensive pencils, since you’re mainly highlighting and shading with them.

Go check out this short (3:29 m) marker technique:

Here’s a sample of my work. I really enjoyed this method and decided to try using a couple extra colors to add more depth.
