Colouring with spectrum noir and copic markers - Sugar skull by the paper shelter


Hey, so here we go again with another colouring tutorial, again like the last this is available to purchase from www.thepapershelter.com her name is sugar skull, and I fell in love with her as soon as I saw her. 

 I Really wanted to do another full spectrum Noir colouring but I just couldn't get her hair to look the way I wanted so I gave up and reached for the Copics.
That's enough of me going on lets get down to the fun bit, the colour combos



For her skin I started with the lightest FS1, added TN2 to for the shading then went in with FS5 then finally back to FS1 to blend the colours nicely.

To do her face paint, I just used IG1 and the Blender to soften the lines and around her eyes, I used FS1 then IG1, 
For her nose I used BGR5, BGR4
Lips DR5, CR10
The heart, DR5, DR2, CR10
Her eyes, B00, B02, B05
and finally around her eyes BP6  


For her rose I started off with DR5 adding all the darker shades, then went in with DR2 for the mid tones, CR10 for the lightest, then finally DR7 I used this to add more depth making sure not to over do it,

Her Hair I went back to my good old copic markers, I just couldn't get my spectrum noirs to do what I wanted, I think it was more me then the pens to be fair so the colours I used are 
E47, E37, E33


For some Reason while I was filming the camera stopped so the very start didn't recording but the colours I used on the skull
CT4, CT2, CT1
BP6
LG5, LG43 LG1
B02, B00
BV02, BV13
RV04
BGR5, BGR4, BGR3
IG1, IG3, Blender
OR3, OR1

For the candles I wanted to create a glow, and I hope it is something I did mange to achieve
I used
CR11, OR3, OR1, CT4, CT1
For the glow I used the Blender and CT1, looking at it now I think I went a bit heavy with the colour, and if I was going to do it again I would maybe go with one of the LY family 
Then I used CT1 and the Blender to highlight the candles,   
and finally for her shirt BGR5, BGR4, BGR3, BGR2 and the glow for the candle CT1 again.

Here is the video for this one
