i find it easyer to start with the darker things (shadows) and work into the lighter things (highlights) then i add some pik and orang and yellow to make it look better. when im done, i outling with a fine black marker.

Hmm . . . maybe I'll give that technique a try sometime ^__^

Though I do like to ink it first, before coloring.

Thanks for the comment!

what type of color pencils you use?

cool thanks for uploading this video

it will help me on my coloring :)

[problematicchipmunks]

I usually use a mix, but this time, the shading for the hair was a Verithin (do they even make that anymore?!), the eye and the tattoo were Crayola, and the skin was a Loew-cornell. Hope that helped!

And thank you very much! :) I'm so glad!

The end result looks a little grainy... I don't know it if's the image quality or if that is what it actually looks like. I think the hair could use more of that gray (just to make it pop), though I like the fact that you used white.

[problematicchipmunks]

I think that's the quality of the image . . . for some reason, the program I use doesn't present photos very well. *shrug*

Thanks for the critique--I'll work on that when I get the chance. :) I'm glad you liked it.

at 0:18 what color is that?

[problematicchipmunks]

if you mean the one I'm using on the skin--it's Loew-cornell peach.
