This graphic was released on Tuesday 29th May.  Copyright remains with Gayle Cook @ www.teddybo.com  

What you will need: 

Teddy Bo image (this is one of the new ones released yesterday)

For the FUR

Cocoa 

Sandstone

Champagne - Flexmarker

Linen - Flexmarker

IF YOU DON'T HAVE FLEXMARKERS I WOULD USE PUTTY (in place of Champagne) and SATIN  (in place of Linen)

 For the CHAIR

Shale

Burgundy

Cardinal Red

Ruby

Lipstick Red

Burnt Sienna

Cocoa

Tan

For the BOOT FUR

Cool Grey 1

For the CROWN and CAPE

Egyptian Blue (True Blue)

Colbalt Blue

Artic Blue

CLOTHES

Gold

Buttercup

BOOTS

Raw Sienna

Nutmeg - Flexmarker (cinnamon)

Light Fawn - Flexmarker (ivory) 

WORDS IN BRACKETS ARE WHAT I WOULD USE IF I DIDN'T HAVE FLEXMARKERS

Sorry this picture is bright

Go round the edge with SANDSTONE

 Now over that with CHAMPAGNE dragging the SANDSTONE out 

 Then go over the SANDSTONE again

 Then again go over with CHAMPAGNE 

 Now go over it all with LINEN

 TWICE

 Then with a fine tip attached go round the edge with COCOA

Then over again with LINEN to blend.  

Do this until you are satisfied with the colour.

With SHALE go in the darkest area. (don't forget the bit in between the crown)

 Then with BURGUNDY go over the SHALE, dragging it out

 Now with CARDINAL RED go over the previous 2 colours

Now with RUBY repeating the same technique as before dragging the other colours out

Go over the whole thing with LIPSTICK RED

 Use the same method and colours for the trim of the chair and the rope around the bottom.

 Now using BURNT SIENNA go around the bottom of the chair

 Go over the BURNT SIENNA with COCOA dragging the previous colour out

Now using TAN colour the whole lot.

Using EGYPTIAN BLUE here

Then COBALT BLUE here dragging the EGYPTIAN BLUE out.

Go over it all with ARTIC BLUE (you may need to blend a couple of times)

For the clothes I used GOLD here

Blend with BUTTERCUP leaving a small white area for the highlights or go over it all with IVORY 

 Onto the boots RAW SIENNA around the edges

Go over the RAW SIENNA with NUTMEG dragging the previous colour out 

Go over the whole boot with LIGHT FAWN

Do the same process again but leave out NUTMEG

For the edges of the crown and the 'studs' of the chair i used gel pens
