How to color a school bus using Copic Markers

Hi there friends. Today I’m going to be sharing How to color a school bus using Copic Markers. I think yellow is one of the hardest colors to get some deep shadows and really get some dimension.

I stamped my image on my Copic Xpress it Blending Card using the Memento Black Ink. Not only am I showing How to color a school bus using Copic Markers but I’m also including how to build a scene around the bus. I’ve also included some depth perception around my bus, notice how the grass blades become dots the further back the grass goes? Check out THESE POSTS on creating Depth Perception.

Here’s a list of the Copic colors I’m using in the tutorial.

B00, BG0000, B21, B00, Y28, Y26, Y21, YR14, YR12, YR04, N3, N1, N0, N5, N9, G20, YG13, YG17

It’s sort of hard to tell but I added Glossy Accents to the windows — making them really look like glass. In person it looks awesome!
