How to Create an Arctic Background using Copic Markers

How to Create an Arctic Background using Copic Markers

How to Create an Arctic Background using Copic Markers

I’m so super excited about this post! I posted a sneak peek of this on my Instagram and had a huge response to it. So I really think so many people are really going to love this tutorial! ♥

I’m using super cute stamps and dies from Pretty Pink Posh. The polar bear and sentiment is from Winter Wonderland Stamp Set.The scalloped die is from the Scalloped Borders Die Set. I stamped my image in Memento Black Ink and stamped onto my Copic Xpress it Blending Cardstock. I used my Mini Misti to line up and stamp my image — it’s the reason why I have a perfectly crisp stamped image. if you need a tutorial on how to use a Misti heck out THIS TUTORIAL!

How did I come up with this scene.. Well, I first chose what image I wanted then I did a google search on polar bear illustrations. I carefully looked through and focused on the colors in the waters and sky and ice. Another thing I look at is the textures and the different strokes each artist uses. Then I made it my own. This is SO IMPORTANT as an artist. You want to learn from a variety of different people and find what works for you and make it your own. I don’t think there’s any wrong or right way to create art. So — don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!
