Hey everyone!! When I was a toy manufacturer/designer, mine was one of the first companies to come out with institutional multi-cultural plush (aka..puppets and dolls with different skin colors for daycares and hospitals). This was a big deal! People laughed, whispered, gaffed. Then another company came out with skin color crayons. And soon, everything was multi-cultural! It was so wonderful!!
So I made a little chart of my favorite combinations of skin color. Some of them are slight in difference. I think as I am now getting better and better at coloring (my Kindergarten teacher would be so proud), these are the differences that bump the artwork up a notch. You can click on the pic to make it bigger. To save, right click and "save as" on a PC. I will also leave it in the "Copic" tab here on my blog.
I opted not to do hair with the skin. I will put up another chart for hair next month. Well, that's it for me today. Please let me know what you think. :D
P.S. (I loved those crayons so much I hoarded them and wouldn't even let my son color with them. I know, warped.)
Thanks for this!

Hi Corinna,
ReplyDeleteI love this reference sample sheet you made. I have bookmarked the site to my computer for easy access!
Thanks so much it's a great idea!
Oh wow - this will help a lot. I usually stick with just 0000 and 00, but I'll look back at this next time I want to shake it up a bit.

Really liked your reference chart - i just started cardmaking (any papercrafting, really) about 6 months ago and fell in love with copics.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the reference!
By the way, I am dying to find out what stamp you used for the reference - the little girls are SO cute!
