'Beach Bum' came to life simply because I had gotten my hands on some new Copic marker colors that I was itching to incorporate into a piece. It turned out to be a delightful experience from start to finish.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with the Copic markers, especially the blending and gradient techniques. There's something magical about how these markers seamlessly transition from one hue to another, allowing for smooth and vibrant color transitions.
This piece represents a departure from my more detailed work. Instead, I embraced simplicity, allowing the colors and composition to speak for themselves. Despite its minimalist approach, 'Beach Bum' exudes a sense of warmth and relaxation, perfectly capturing the laid-back vibe of a day at the beach.
What I love most about 'Beach Bum' is how the simplicity of her design allows the colors to truly shine. The vibrant hues of the Copic markers pop against the white background, creating a striking contrast that draws the viewer in.
Overall, creating 'Beach Bum' was a joyful exploration of color and technique. It's a testament to the versatility of Copic markers and a reminder that sometimes, simplicity can be just as impactful as intricate detail.
