Also as usual we have tutorial from our talented DT Lady. This time, the wonderful Lady who show us a tute about hair coloring is Audrey. Check her fabs tute :)
Hi everyone! Audrey here today and I'm going to show you how I color hair with Copics, just in case you are interested. I usually look at my image and decide what color hair do I want this image to have? Then I choose 3-4 colors depending on the hair length - sometimes I use 5 or 6, but that is only usually with really long hair.
So for this image of Charlotte at Paper Ship from MILKCOFFEE SHOP and I have decided she is going to have blondish/brown hair and I have chosen Copics E 50, 53, 55 and 57.
First I decide where I am going to have my light source coming in. I usually choose the right side, probably because I'm right handed.:) I put down my lightest color first and I leave a decent amount of white space to show where my light source comes in. I always color out from the top and up from the bottom in the direction of the hair in both cases.
Next I go over most of the same are with the second color (a little darker)
And then, you guessed it, I use my third color next. I try to keep a very light touch on the marker so that it looks more like hair strands than blobs of color.
Finally I add my darkest color to the very bottoms and also the areas furthest from my light source.
Then I go back through and darken things up by using my 3rd marker (E55 in this case)
And the second (E53)
And then first color where I go back over and connect the areas, but still keeping the light source in mind I leave a very light area there.
Last but not least, I go in and add some darker lines on the pre-drawn lines and also on where I think areas would be the darkest.
Today I woke up very late, looks like several days lack of sleeps taking its tool of my body ^^ I really should try to manage a healtier schedule (I'm a noctrunal person usualy), but it's hard to break a habit that last for years :)
Anyway, since Halloween is coming nearer and nearer, we have a special Halloween showcase today ^^ Have you start preparing your Halloween themed cards? We have a new batch of Halloween images featuring Lisbeth, Tiffany, Charlotte, Michelle, Alicia, and a cute vampire boy ^^ Looks what our talented DT girls did with our Halloween images, it's so cute!
