Great news Rita!
If you do decide to add a background, I would suggest making it very light toned and diluted, so you have a high contrast between the cupcake and the background. it’ll make the cupcake stand out better 🙂

Hi Anthony, I am fairly happy with my cupcake although the pencil was heavier than I intended. It’s going to be a birthday card for my daughter. I’m wondering whether to add a shadow & some background colour.

Hi Tanya
I use Quinacridone rose (pigment number: PV19) – but you can use any “cool” red for this. Just make sure your paint is well diluted to get a pink hue 🙂

Hello, Anthony. Thank you for the tutorial. I’ve created one yet. How did you get pink tone? Or you have it in a tube? I have tried to get it by mixing of red, a bit of purple and a bit of yellow. But to get pastel-pink tone I had mixed white & red.
