Mepxy Max 6th Edition

MEPXY MAX 6TH EDITION

Deer Crystal

Good evening everybody and welcome to another Mepxy Max edition. This tute I will be using primarily pastel colours! I love this pallet, you can create so much diversity and depth with just 2 - 3 colours. Lets get started.




So for starters I draw my image with pencils then go over with a black art liner of your choice, doesn't have to be black though! In fact doing it in corresponding colour art liners would look lovely, wish I had thought of that earlier now.


Next step is to choose your colours and get to colouring! I chose a mix of greens, purples blues and pinks as I think they look really nice together.





Instead of my usual blending routine I use a flicking motion creating a clear edge to my colours. Using darkest to lightest I flick to colours out to make the shards look more crystal like then coming in with the lights colour and shading over then whole area. I continued this process over the whole deer and if needed I darken areas which i thought needed contrasting to create more depth.


Finito!


Colours used:  P31, P00, V06, V15, V12, M02, M11, M21, C02, C01, C13, G00, G02, B01
