Copic Color Cards

I've been wanting to do this for a while now. I know that I have learned a lot of coloring from others who have listed their copics formulas. These are my most go to colors.

The skin is something that I normally start with and it is a bit of a shocker until you get the hair colored. I always start with the skin. I'll sometimes also use my Asian skin for fair caucasion skin. On the light skin tones I start with a base of the lightest color, then put in the shadows and cheeks, and follow up with more of the lightest shade. For the darker colored skins I will do the shadows and cheeks first then use the lightest color to blend. Otherwise the skin may get too dark with multiple light color passes.

For the hair I will take it in sections. I will color a section in entirely with the lightest color then take the medium color and feather shade it from either end of the section leaving some of the lighter color showing in the midddle. I will do the same feather technique with the darkest color but not have the sweeps go out as far as the medium color. I follow up with the lightest color again using the feather technique but take it to through the light middle section. I think it helps blend everything together and give the hair extra texture. Then I move onto another section of the hair. The image I used is Ebony's head from The Greeting Farm for my samples. I hope you have found this information useful and thanks for stopping by.
