Medium used: Ohuhu alcohol markers

 

 

 

Step 1: Color the first layer with R9

 

Begin by applying R9 as the base color for the entire wall. This initial layer serves as the foundation for your artwork. Don’t worry if it looks a little flat at first; this is just the beginning! The smooth application will create a uniform background that will enhance the colors you add later.

 

 

 

Step 2: Color random bricks with YR5, R8, and R1

Next, grab YR5, R8, and R1 to color some random bricks. The key here is to create a sense of randomness and variety; this will make your brick wall look more realistic. Choose a few bricks and apply these colors in varying amounts. For example, you might color a few bricks completely with YR5, while others may just have highlights of R8 and R1.

Step 3: Add a shadow with the same color as the brick

To enhance the three-dimensional effect of your wall, add shadows using the same colors from the bricks. For instance, if you used YR5 for one of the bricks, use that color to create shadows along the edges. This technique helps to create depth and makes the bricks appear as if they are actually protruding from the wall.

Step 4: Add a highlight with the white acrylic pen

Finally, it’s time to add some highlights! Grab your white acrylic pen and apply it to the edges of your bricks. This step will make your wall come to life, adding a touch of brightness and contrast. Focus on the tops of the bricks and any areas where light would naturally hit. This finishing touch will give your wall a polished look.

Tadaaaa! The final result is ready for admiration!

With these steps complete, the beautifully colored brick wall can now be appreciated. It’s amazing how a few simple techniques can create such a striking piece of art. The combination of colors, shadows, and highlights gives the wall a realistic and vibrant appearance, turning the coloring page into a true masterpiece.
