Start with hand-lettering the Beatles song lyrics using Castell® 9000 Graphite Pencil – HB. Around the lyrics, sketch some strawberry vines.

Trace the block hand-lettered lyrics with Goldfaber Aqua Dual Markers # 128 Light purple Pink and 121 Pale Geranium Lake.

Color the strawberries with the brush tip of the Goldfaber Aqua Dual Markers #116 Apricot, 121 Pale Geranium Lake and #122 Brilliant Red. Color the vines with Goldfaber Aqua Dual Marker # 171 Light Green.

The Goldfaber Aqua Dual Markers are water-soluble and can be blended for a softer look but also look vibrantly beautiful undiluted.

Color the leaves with Goldfaber Aqua Dual Marker # 163 Emerald Green.

Create some flowers with Goldfaber Aqua Dual Markers #109 Dark Chrome Yellow for centers and #272 Warm Grey III for petals.

Sprinkle some diamond shapes with Goldfaber Aqua Dual Marker #128 Light Purple Pink to fill up space.

Add details to the vines, leaves, and strawberries with PIitt Artist Pens #264 Dark Phthalo Green and 175 Dark Sepia. The India ink of the Pitt Artist Pens do not blend with water-soluble inks of the Goldfaber Aqua Dual Markers making it easy to add details.

Draw a scalloped border with the fine point, hard felt nib (.6 mm) of the Goldfaber Aqua Dual Marker #122 Brilliant Red to finish.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and have fun with your song lyrics this summer!
