More Hair Colors Tutorial


Today I used the adorable Inky Impressions Lili's Cleaning Day stamp. I love this image. I am actually one of those people who enjoys cleaning and I love love love vacuuming! So today I have tried a different hair color combination.



1. I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo blakc ink. Copics used are E50, E31, E33, E35 and E59.


2. First I used E50, the lightest color, for the areas that I wanted highlighted.

3. Next I used E59, the darkest color, for the crown and tips of hair.

4. I blended E35 over E59.



5. Next I added E33



6. Then E31

7. Then I blended E50, going over the darkest color and blended through.

 

8. I went back and added E59 and E35 again at the crown and ends of hair. Finally I blended E50 from dark to light to blend the hair.
Here is the finished card:
