WORDS IN BRACKETS ARE WHAT I WOULD USE IF I DIDN'T HAVE FLEXMARKERS

Sorry this picture is bright

Go round the edge with SANDSTONE

Now over that with CHAMPAGNE dragging the SANDSTONE out

Then go over the SANDSTONE again

Then again go over with CHAMPAGNE

Now go over it all with LINEN

TWICE

Then with a fine tip attached go round the edge with COCOA

Then over again with LINEN to blend.

Do this until you are satisfied with the colour.

With SHALE go in the darkest area. (don't forget the bit in between the crown)

Then with BURGUNDY go over the SHALE, dragging it out

Now with CARDINAL RED go over the previous 2 colours

Now with RUBY repeating the same technique as before dragging the other colours out

Go over the whole thing with LIPSTICK RED

Use the same method and colours for the trim of the chair and the rope around the bottom.

Now using BURNT SIENNA go around the bottom of the chair

Go over the BURNT SIENNA with COCOA dragging the previous colour out

Now using TAN colour the whole lot.

Using EGYPTIAN BLUE here

Then COBALT BLUE here dragging the EGYPTIAN BLUE out.

Go over it all with ARTIC BLUE (you may need to blend a couple of times)

For the clothes I used GOLD here

Blend with BUTTERCUP leaving a small white area for the highlights or go over it all with IVORY

Onto the boots RAW SIENNA around the edges

Go over the RAW SIENNA with NUTMEG dragging the previous colour out

Go over the whole boot with LIGHT FAWN

Do the same process again but leave out NUTMEG

For the edges of the crown and the 'studs' of the chair i used gel pens

Hi everyone,

A little while there was a conversation on Facebook about the correct colours for Forever Friends Bears. As you will know i am more of a Promarker user than Copics, although i do use them occasionally. So i decided to share how i do my Forever Friend Bears with Promarkers.

THIS IS A PICTURE HEAVY POST, SO YOU MAY WANT TO GRAB A CUP OF TEA!!

The colours i have used are:

Oatmeal

Vanilla

Ivory

Coral

Sunkissed Pink

Cocktail Pink

Pale Pink

Blossom

Cool Grey 1, 2 and 3

I used Rymans 200gsm Bright White Coated Card

The stamp is from the Forever Friends New Arrivals Set

PLEASE NOTE: I am not trained in anyway and am completely self taught. I have followed numerous tutorials myself and just thought i would share how i do things.

So lets get started
