Hi ya everyone, Melissa here today!  Unfortunately, I’ve had no time to put together an underwater tutorial as my research job kept me busy all weekend!  However, I didn’t want to leave you hanging and there are some GREAT tutorials out there already on how to color an underwater scene using Copics. 

The first tutorial by ArtByKarenEHaley is wonderful for those shimmery water scenes.

 

The next, is one is a gorgeous way to color underwater with nice streaming lights that pierce the water depths.  Check out tutorial by Barbara of Forgotten Scraps at Make it Crafty right HERE.

Both tutorials offer some fantastic methods on how to get those images such as mermaids, seahorses and underwater objects to look life-like!
