Tutorial: How to color hair (Edward Cullen in Manga Style)

Many of you did a request on a tutorial in coloring hair, so I did it. First of all I have to say that I use Copic Ciao & Copic Sketch markers.

1. For Edward's hair I used E33, E37 & E29 for the brown colors. For the orange highlights (because he has got bronze hair) I used YR07.
2. First I fill the space of the hair with E33.
3. As you can see, E37 follows for the shadows and for floating transitions I use E33 again.
4. For the dark shadows I use E29. The coloring lines become smaller and please be carefull with the transitions of color.
5. Finally I set some highlights with the orange pen, because Edward's hair is bronze and I didn't know another solution.

I hope that I could help you with this.

Here is the finished version of the whole picture:
