_________________________________________________________________________________

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.


I hope you have found this helpful:)

A fab tute isn't it? :) And as usual, we have a freebie for you to color! A matching digi for this month theme, Halloween! Hope you girls like it ;)
Have a blessed day everyone! Hope you enjoy our challenge this month!
