Description
ok, I took pictures, I didn't scan, that why some picks are blurry T_T sorry about that.This is my first tutorial, so be gentle nyuuu
and english isn't my first language, so there's mistakes, I know, I just hope that you'll be able to understand...
People ask why I star with the light colors and not the dark one. Some will say I'm drawing for nothing, but I'm not. The color blends together making the colors go darker.
done with faber castells. I wrote the flesh color numbers.
the finished drawing here! [link]
hope you guys will find it usefull! ^^

okay I think I see now. Do you think it would work the same with prisma pencils? and where do you get the fibercasters?
I'm still trying to fid the best midea for me to color with.

it works with primsma colors too. but it's sure that the polychromos (fabercastel) will give a better rendering

Oh okay, I've never tried invert tones to darken a shading before. That's something new.

Thanks so much~
All the tutorials here are mostly for digital drawings, its really hard to find one like this. Im defiantly going to try my hand at coloring.. (and maybe, drawing, lol because i really not that good 
I do have one question though, how do you decide where the reflections to the hair go?
Thanks~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
actually I decide where me light will come from, then put the reflections wher the light comes from

I don't get what the invert colors are.. What does it mean??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don
blue = orange
purple = yellow
you use those colors to shade the other one darker (ex: to do a darker red, instead of adding black, you add green)

Quick question, do you use the 120 set or the 60 set? I was thinking about purchasing one but since I already have a 72 set prismacolor I wasn't sure which one was better in terms of faber castell...Does the 120 give a broader range with less grays?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have both the 60 and 120 case (but the 120 have the same 60 in it) there's about 5 grays in the 120 box.
honestly, I prefer the faber castells, the blend really easily next to the prismacolors. just with smooth paper, you can have great results with prismacolors too tho. (try a smooth 100mg paper)

Oh wow that's a lot
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no prob and thank you^^
and just the fact that you change paper makes a big difference too.^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That is so true, I think I'm not using the right type of paper. I bought drawing paper but it's "fine tooth" so I guess it's not as smooth as it should be
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it's easier to use heavy paper, if the paper is too thin, you'll have troubles blending (maybe not troubles, but with regular printing paper, if you press too hard and alot of times you can go thru the paper -_-

You're right, I broke some papers before by pressing too hard

Wow! You make coloring hair look easy <3 This is a great tutorial!! gotta

Wow!!, that'll help soooo much!!! Did you have more than one pencil crayon for the skin or did you use the same one??? Also, how do keep the colouring so smooth??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
for the skin the number of the pencils I used are written.
the kind of paper helps alot since it's heavy. and press hard on the pencils so there it's grains left

Your colouring is awesome but boy does that looks tedious and patience testing but I'll fav anyway, it should make a great reference next time I want to try to colour something in.
