How to Draw Superman: Coloring Options

Video Transcript

"Now previously we have covered coloring using colored pencils but that is not your only coloring option. You have some nice markers. These can make wonderful coloring implements. Which you can actually see here we are drawing in Spider Mans main costume in the nice bright but not to glaring blue mainstay. We are basically going to draw all of this in all of his features bluing his whole costume. But the other thing I want to demonstrate is the wonderful world of the "S". Now in general when you have a lighter color in between a darker color you want to make sure to draw that in first because then you won't also get any color bleeding along the edges. Now if I draw in the red first every single time I got near this edge I would have to worry about red accidentally bleeding back on the marker. Now if you have really good markers it will minimize but I have yet to see a marker than can entirely free itself from that risk. So when in doubt be sure to draw in the lighter colors first. So here we have drawn in the yellow. Now with yellow down we'll be able to move onto our red. And right away another technique that I do, often times I will outline the areas where I really want to make sure that I don't accidently go over the mark and mess with my shape. So see right here I'll do this and it'll be really nice because I don't have to get quite as close to the yellow. It's no problem everyone’s happy. The red, the yellow are staying apart in this case. So then you’d be able to finish the "S" shape. Now for inking color you have to make sure unlike color pencils with this coloration you have to allow it enough time to dry and this can last five to around forty seconds depending on the type of marker you use my suggestion is that you try it out and kind of basically test do like a quick smear you know and see if after three seconds if it comes up or if there is some dampness to it because you want to make sure that your marker is dry. Otherwise especially if you are a left gain you could also run the risk of marker smear which is not good. Again, to quickly demonstrate you have basically more of the smearing of the marking. So make sure to avoid that. Again not everyone can afford super expensive pens, but with a couple additional sort of safety tips with coloring in with markers you can avoid the worse of the mistakes. So we are basically going to continue to coloring in the "S" and we are also going to extend out the blue and color in the rest in with pen before moving on to our next step."
