Today I am going to show you how I colour Chloe's clothing with ProMarkers
For her dungarees I am using
Pastel Blue C719
Powder Blue B129
Denim Blue C917
As I have said before work on one section of the image at a time as the inks 'blend' better when they are wet
Work in small circular motions as you add the colour
Firstly I coloured this section of Chloe's Dungarees with Pastel Blue.......I then added Powder Blue where I think the shadow would be.......I then blended it with Pastel Blue by dragging out the colour (circular motion)
You may chose to stick with two colours for your shading which is usualy enough.......but sometimes I add a third colour.......especially with Jeans!
I have added a touch of Denim Blue where I think the darkest shadow would be.........
..........I then blend it out first with the Powder Blue and then with the Pastel Blue. It's just a case of blending and softening the look where the different shades meet
I then start to work on one of Chloe's legs by colouring it with the lightest pen Pastel Blue
Bulding up the colour.......
..........and blending
I colour the other leg in the same way
Next I am going to colour Chloe's top using
Pastel Pink R738
Cocktail Pink R438
You may have colours which are closer in shade but because I have just started to build my collection I have to use what I have got
First I colour a sleeve with Pastel Pink
I add Cocktail Pink again where I think the shadows would be and blend it again in a circular motion
I colour the rest of Chloe's top in the same way...........
......and the rest of the image
To finish off I go around the image with
This softens the look and puts a nice shadow effect around Chloe
If you wish you can add hightlights with a white Gel pen
Well thats the third and final part of my colouring tutorial!
I hope it may help you with your colouring
Remember practice makes perfect and everyone finds their own way of doing things in the end.......
.......but most of all have fun!
