Did you know that underpainting isn’t just a technique for darker colors?
Surprised?
Well that’s what Vanilla Arts is here for…to teach you those little surprises that will make your Copic coloring projects drip with realism…

and unrealistic.
The solution is simple: Tone down those areas with a little BV0000 underpainting.
