Hi to all our PinturaFacil's friends! Today we're going to color
this beautiful Christmas card that I hope you like!!
Before starting coloring this snowman card
I want to share with you a craft channel that I love. It's name is BrisaLatina
It belongs to Vicky and she makes fantastic crafts
recycling things
I want to share this time one of those crafts that we can use this christmas
Itís a frame
made with recycled soda bottles
so Vicky uses them
and make a frame with them
braiding the plastic
A wonderful thing... and working with material we have at home
So I want invite you to watch her videos to have more ideas for next Christmas
and subscribe to her channel
Let's start now
to paint our snowman card
for which you'll need
white cardboard
coloring pencils and a black markers
so the first thing will be to transfer the design to the cardboard
you can get the design with the link I let you in the description of this video
at the end of the photographic step by step
we simply transfer the design and delineate with the marker
to see better the design
try to get soft coloring pencils
slightly pasty
for better coloring the gradients
for this project
I'm using a 24 pencil box
that you can find everywhere
try to have in your box 2 kinds of yellow: a light and a dark one
a light orange and a dark one, a light red and a dark one
2 or 3 kinds of blue
light green and dark green
some dark and light brown
usually in 24 unit boxes you'll always have this colors
let's start
with the little start
that is one of the most easiest, so you can practice
painting this card
we'll need a light and a dark yellow
and we'll paint the base, very gentle, with the dark yellow
to all the star
then we will paint the light areas pressing the pencil
just a little bit
to have light areas
now we're going to color shadow areas
you can watch them right now and we'll color gently
not pressing too much the pencil
using a light orange
last step will be to color again with dark yellow all the star, this time pressing the pencil
and covering the white holes of the cardboard
and coloring over the light yellow and the orange
to well mix the colors
let 's paint now the heart
firstly we 'll gentle color with light red
then we 'll illuminate the upper zones with light orange
press a little bit the orange pencil while coloring
with dark red
we 'll paint
the bottom as a shadow
press a little bit the pencil to get a nice shadow
then, we 'll color again with light red, pressing this time very much the pencil to well cover all the heart
and mixing the colors
now let 's coloring the tree
we will first color the leaves as these leaves are so small
I 'm going to use only 2 kinds of green: a light and a dark one
we 'll paint first the top
with light green
and then I 'll apply the dark green on the bottom
try to paint over the light green
just a little bit to mix the colors
we 'll use 3 kinds of brown for the trunk: light, medium and dark
we 'll divide in 3 sections the trunk
you can color the left side this light brown
then a middle area with medium brown and to the right the dark brown
trying to mix the 3 colors
to color the snowman nose
I 'm going to use
3 colors: a dark yellow
a light orange
and a dark one
the color base
will be the light orange
with dark yellow weíll color the lights
and we'll paint the shadows with dark orange
let 's paint now the snowman scarf stripes
we 'll change the red scarf colors from the color we used for the heart
we 'll choose another color combination
to make different kinds of red
just changing colors
so let 's use
an orange for lights, a dark red for the base
and then for shadows a violet or a burgundy
so in the first strip I just applied
the dark red
gently
all the strip
very gently
in the next strip, that it is like an step by step, I applied
I 'm going to apply on top
the orange
I 'm going to apply on top
the orange
on the next strip
I want to show you the bottom where I applied
the burgundy to make the shadow
so you can see the clear area on top
the dark one on the bottom
in the next strip
I 'm going to color with the dark red
the same red we used for the base
pressing the pencil
to well mix the colors
at the end iíll have a nice color gradient
then repeat this into all the red strips
to paint the green strips
I 'm going to use the same technique
so I 'm going to choose
a light green
a dark green
and a cyan pencil (or light blue)
again, the first step will be paint the base with the dark green
very gently
then weíll use the light green to illuminate the top
and then with cyan weíll shadow the bottom
to finish this part
weíll color again with the dark green
coloring over the light green and the cyan to mix the 3 colors
to obtain a different kind of green and darker too
As you can see, apply light and shadows with coloring pencils is very easy!!
you only need to know some tricks and how to combine colors
Let 's coloring now the snowman hat
We 'll need 3 kinds of brown
a light, a medium and a dark one
with medium brown
we 're going to color all the hat, very gently
with light brown we 'll color some light areas
las denuncias en la zona superior
and with the dark brown we 'll apply the shadows
to the bottom area
After this, and as we 've been doing with all the project
we 'll cover again, with middle brown
pressing the pencil to the cardboard
to well mix the colors
to finish the hat. To color the green hat ribbon
we 'll use the same color we applied to the scarf
to color
the snowman buttons
we 'll use 3 kinds of blue. Choose a light
a medium and a dark one and use the same technique of coloring
Let 's color now the snowman body
we 'll use a white pencil
and a light blue or the cyan we used before
for the scarf shadows
we first color the hall snowman with white
you can say "But no one will see that!!"
Of course you 'll see it!!! even if your cardboard is white
you 'll see that the white of the pencil is different from the cardboard
you 'll get a different tone
and you 'll see an equal color
so color with white the body
but pressing this time a little bit the pencil
but not too strong!!
Once you color all the snow
the snowman body and the snow that is on the floor
we 'll start applying the cyan near the edges to make a kind of shadows
on the snow
apply this cyan or light blue very gently
because if you press too much
you 'll leave too strong marks on the snow
so very gently, paint the shadows
and then weíll apply the white pencil coloring the snow, as we did with other parts of the design... and pressing
to mix both colors... on the floor
near the snowman
draw a shadow with the same technique
using again the cyan and white
this way the snowman will have it 's one shadow too
Let 's color the sky background
of this cold winter
We 'll need 3 kinds of blue: light, medium and dark
try to use again the same cyan we used before
a normal blue and cobalt one
that you have into your coloring box
Firstly, we 'll use the medium blue or the normal one to paint the hole background
remember to do it gently
to well mix at the end all the colors
divide mentally the sky in 3 horizontal areas
one on top
one in the middle and the last one on the bottom
we 'll paint the upper area with the cyan to make it lighter
without pressing too much the pencil
but
living a good mark of light
to the upper zone where is the star
leave the middle area for the time being
and on the bottom
the shadow area
we 'll apply the cobalt blue or dark blue
because there is no more lights in the sky
but only the little star
the last step will be
color the sky with the middle blue
to mix the 3 colors
and obtain a nice gradient sky
remember to protect you project at the end with spray varnish
you can use a wonderful matt one
that you can apply
to
well protect it
you can paint this snowman directly on the cardboard
of your card
or paint it on another cardboard and then glue it to the card
I hope you enjoy this snowman greeting card
as you see itís very easy coloring with pencils
and obtain wonderful results
