Tutorial: How to color skin/faces (Manga/Anime)

Here is a tutorial for those who have problems with colouring skin.
1. I use Copic Ciaos and for skin-colouring I prefer the pens E00 (basic colour), E21 (1st shadows) & E02 (highlight shadows).
2. First I fill the space with E00.
3. As you can see, E21 follows for the shadows and for floating transitions I use E00 again.
4. For the 2nd shadows I use E02, because it's a wonderful bright colour.

I use just normal copy paper, so nothing special.
And I'm from Germany, so I really don't know where you can get those markers in your home country.

Sorry for the immediate cut in the end, but my digicam hadn't enough memory cell. I hope, it will help you, though.

Here is the full version of the picture!!

@anicaes1

I know I never said she did this for a career Im simply saying that if you want to do art as a career anime is not the way to do it.

[anicaes1]

@supahfly55 um.... how do you know if she does this for a living? There is such thing as doing 'art for fun', you know.... And how do you know what type of techniques she has mastered or is practicing?? She could also have a knack for realism and etc. You say, 'Expanding ', manga is a way of expanding. You're entitled to your opinion but, it would be greatly appreciated if you were more respectful.
