How to Color skintones with Copic Markers: Flaunt It! (with free downloads)

February 26, 2016 by Sandy Allnock 25 Comments [featured_image}

Are you ready? It’s time for another Human Rainbow post! #thehumanrainbow is a little initiative I’ve attempted to help us all step out to try different ethnicities in our coloring (it hasn’t really taken hold, so help me out here! go golor some skin!)

Copic Coloring Skintones

For an exercise like#thehumanrainbow, this stamp is PERFECT. As are a lot of the Art Impressions people stamps! They’re drawn in such a way that you can really make ANY of them ANY ethnicity. Just fluff up some hair or emphasize one feature or another, and you’ve got YOU and your mixed group of lady friends on a card! Check out the video then scroll down for some free downloads, ok?

Watch the video below or click HERE to see it in HD on YouTube.

Are you ready for a bunch of freebies? Scroll down, girlfriends!

    As a new cardmaker, I have been really discouraged by the lack of diverse images from popular stamping companies. I’d love to introduce my 5yo daughter to the art, but I want to have images that represent us! Thanks for showing an inclusive way that encourages multiethnic representation within this art form.

    I never would have guessed to add BV to a skin tone to help create shadows. Love all the generous freebies. Thank you.

    Never really thought about this. I think though that most people would colour within their own ethnic group. But it’s great that you’re showing an option. You are generous in act and spirit – a great ambassador for the crafting world. ☺

    So wonderful, Sandy!! I’m not a Copic person, but it’s just so fascinating to watch your coloring bring everything to life. #lovethehumanrainbow I’m watching on Periscope, too, and soaking up all of your magic! ♡
