Quick Timelapse Coloring of our 'Santa' Line-Art Poster



It may just be Halloween, but we already have Christmas on the brain here at Stuff2Color. So we put together a quick timelapse video as I colored our line art poster "Santa". Check out this cool video as I try out some different marker brands, add some shading, and try to stay in the lines (too much pressure for me apparently). 

Please excuse the color of Santa's skin, I seem to have misplaced all flesh-toned shades. I then cut out the poster in preparation of decorating for my favorite holiday. So there you have it, Santa on Halloween... Only at Stuff2Color!

  1. 2 questions (maybe for upcoming posts):

    How do you color skin to make it really look like skin and not a sunburn?

    And at the end of the video you went over some spots (like the blue bag) with a darker shade to add shading. I read the post on how you did shading on the bridge, but I'd like to hear more about how you add more organic looking shading like you did on Santa's bag.

    Thanks!

  2. Thanks for the questions Amber! Check out the blog on Monday and I'll answer your question about the shading techniques such as was used on Santa's bag. And thanks for the blog idea about coloring skin, I'll plan to write about that the following week. Great questions!
