I have been learning to paint with distress inks yesterday and today, I did try painting with them about 6months ago but I wasn't 100% happy with the outcome, question is are these any better? or should I go back to my copics? I'd love your honest opinions :o)
Thanks for any help, guidance or helpful tips :o)
Hugs
These are gorgeous - wish I could get these kind of results with DI. Guess I will just have to keep practising xx
ReplyDeleteYou cannot be serious? Please please do not throw these out Teresa! They look good to me! Judy x
ReplyDeletePersonally I'd keep them, I reckon you've done a grand job. You get different results with the inks & I find they don't blend as well as Copics but that's okay as they are water based not alcohol. I can't suggest anything to do better because I think you've got it spot on! Zo xx
ReplyDeleteOooh forgot to say I have seen some peeps who do this then use their pencils to add more depth to the colour/shade/tone etc. Zo xx
ReplyDeleteDefo, brilliant teresa, yes, put them on a card! you`ve done really well, i love how you`ve coloured them! xx
ReplyDeleteFor me they look great !! Great shading. I should use them. Love from Holland , Christa.
ReplyDeleteHi Teresa,
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colouring,i think you colour beautifully with both mediums...sorry that hasn't helped much has it lol :) x
I just knew it, Teresa they are all Gorgeous, I really love the yellow one, you really are one talented lady, Linda xx
ReplyDeleteTeresa, I'm not expert but to me these look stunning. So yes I'd say definitely worth keeping!!

I think they look beautiful Teresa and I love the distress markers and the look they give. Use which you feel comfortable with at the time and you'll be happy with the results

I think they are really beautiful, so lovely and delicate. Sometimes its nice to have a change of colouring medium, I should defo use other things as well as my PMs from time to time xx
ReplyDeleteHi Teresa, I can't offer guidance, help or tips only admiration for your work. They are all beautiful and distress ink painting is certainly another feather in your cap.

I think you did a good job, it takes a lot of time.
ReplyDeleteIt's totaly different than copics but I love them both.
Please show more!!
Teresa these are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteTeresa they are gorgeous and well worth keeping. If you dont want to use them I will. They all go to my charities so a good cause. I cant promise to make them into such beautiful cards as you though. xxxxx
ReplyDeleteKeep, keep, keep!!!!!Wow, so gorgeous coloured. Really beautiful!!! Hugs, Nicole
ReplyDeleteI don't know much about colouring with Distress inks but think these look fab so you should definitely keep!! Tracy xx
ReplyDeleteNot 100% happy !!! are you kidding they are amazing and equally as stunning as when you use your copics if I could colour as well as you do I would be one happy crafter xx
ReplyDeleteI personally love all your images no matter how you colour them in i just wished i had your talent so i say they are worth keeping, love them xx
ReplyDeleteWish I could do half as well. Mine look very amateurish in comparison.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want to part with them . . . .

These are fabulous Teresa - amazing results - you must be an incredle perfectionist to see anything wrong - they're just gorgeous!!!! xx
ReplyDeleteTeresa they look fantastic to me, please dont throw them out. I don't suppose you can get the same effect with DI as with Copics as they are different mediums. Nice to do for a change, I bought the full set of DI markers when they came out but sent them back as I could not get them to blend, so you have done a fantatic job.
ReplyDeleteHugs

One word..."BEAUTIFUL...!!"
ReplyDeletebig hugs Vicky xx
To be honest they are rubbish so send them to me. Tee Hee. No they are stunning and I would definately keep but do like all your work cant imagine there is anything you couldnt colour. But remeber if you do throw them throw them this way. Hugs Sue xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Teresa! I thought you already colored with DI!!! You fooled me! lol
ReplyDeleteNot worth keeping any of them if you post them off to me I will dispose of them for you.will pm my address(yours in hope lol )
ReplyDeleteI just wish my colouring with any medium was anywhere near as good as yours all fantastic

I think they are fab, I would definitely say to use them. Can I ask what colours you used for the hair on the pink one please, I cannot do hair with markers or DI no matter what I try.....
ReplyDeleteHi Teresa, These are absolutely gorgeous the colouring is just perfect can't see why you would think they wasn't any good, Please us them on forthcoming cards as they are truly gorgeous and if you don't feel that you can't use them please send them to me l can make good use of them.......lol l'm serious!! truly l think you have done a wonderful job and you can only get better with experience:)x
ReplyDeleteHi Teresa
ReplyDeleteThey are absolutley fab. You must keep them
Caz
I like Aunty Sue's suggestion - apart from they'd go to her and not me :(
ReplyDeleteI think they are gorgeous and personally I'd be over the moon if I'd got these results!
Carol x
Hey hun, just popped over to see what you have been up to with the DIs - WOW! These little Tildas are looking soooooo gorgeous, great work my friend, you've cracked it! Honestly hun, these are so lovely, beautifully delicate colourwork and shading. You should be proud sweetie. Hugs Sxx
ReplyDeleteI like them Teresa - DI gives a completely different look to alcohol markers - I like colouring with DI cos even though they don't do blending as well as copics etc I like the finished look - so keep!
ReplyDeleteThey look very fine to me Teresa!!!! Maybe if you color them the same way but then with your copics, you can see the difference and decide what you like best?? But I think those pictures look very fine to me!
ReplyDeletegr. arjette.
Well I agree with everybody else keep them, they are great!
ReplyDeleteI keep giving DI a go, I find I am very critical of the DI work as I get such a great blend with Copics. I guess the question is what is it about the images that you see you don't like? You have great contrast of colours, your blending is spot on, what would you like to see. Don't know if that helps, but it the question I ask myself, it's helped with my Copic work. Going to give it a try with my DI next :-D Sorry for long rambling comment xx
They're gorgeous Teresa, the beauty of inks is you can get your own individual look. I do love the soft/subtle look, and yours are perfect. I do my inks quite heavy and then do my shading with the walnut stain ~ not every ones cup of tea, but that's my style.
ReplyDeleteHUGZ Fleur xxx
Ooh! Teresa, these are all amazing, you definately have those new pens sussed hun.
ReplyDeleteDonna x
teresa,these are gorgeous,your colouring with the distress inks is spot on,x
ReplyDeleteHi Teresa,
ReplyDeleteI think you should stick with BOTH. You have wonderful finishes with both, so now you can use either, whichever takes your fancy on the day. They are absolutely beautiful.
Hugs Linda xx
well teresa I think they are gorgeous... defo use them..pam
ReplyDeleteOooh well done Teresa! Worth the perseverance. They look lovely and I'll look forward to seeing them cards. I just ordered the TH set of markers (after many weeks of agonising) Really hope I'm not wasting my money but it's my Birthday soon so thought I deserved a treat lol! xx Jenny xx
ReplyDeletethey look just amazing
ReplyDeleteThey're lovely Teresa.
ReplyDeleteIf you have a look at Dena's link in my tutorial she shows how to add more depth in the shading, not that I'm saying you need it-I don't always do it, it's just nice to have the option there.
Hugs Bex xx
They look amazing Teresa. Beautiful colouring. You should put them on cards. Well done Teresa.
