Coloring Corner: Mermaid Stamp

Mermaid Stamp Coloring Project

by Sharon Jeffs


One of my favourite kinds of images to color with copic markers is mermaids because I can blend different color palettes together so well.  Today I am using the Mermaid from Frantic Stamper's own line of cling-mounted rubber stamps. For decorating my mermaids I used the following colors:

Skin tones —

• E21 Baby Skin Pink
• E00 Skin White
• E000 Pale Fruit Pink

Lips —

• RV13 Tender Pink

Eyes, Body, & Tail —

• B05 Process Blue
• B02 Robins Egg Blue
• G07 Nile Green
• G17 Forest Green

Hair —

• E35 Chamois (I used this to color the whole hair area)
• E18 Copper (I added slivers in different areas to create shadows)
• 0 Colorless Blender (I used this to lighten random curls to add highlights)

One other thing that I did that is difficult to see, I sprayed the whole image with a light spray of a silver Glimmermist to add sparkle and I colored all the bubbles with clear Ice stickles.
