Tutorial for colouring hair with Prismacolor pencils

(Please scroll down for my All That Scraps review DT cpost!)


Hi everyone!  I'm back today with the next installment of my a tutorial for All That Scraps to show you how I coloured in Sweet Ima Butterfly hair on kraft cardstock using Prismacolor pencils. 

I use White as the base, again using using light strokes so that the kraft doesn't become "waxy" too soon...


I now use a different technique when colouring her hair so instead of using a circular motion, I use a 'feathering' technique instead.  I start with my lightest colours first, so next I use Burnt Ochre, feathering from the edges into the white space...





I then use Terracotta, again feathering from the edges into the white space...




You can see that I've left quite a lot of white in the middle so that the 'feathered ends' are more visible.  I now use Tuscan Red using less strokes but firmer to enhance the feathered look...



Last but not least I use Dark Brown in the very edges where the shadows are to create the depth that you can see in the picture below.  It also shows how I've used some scrap kraft cardstock to test the colours I've used for the image...


All's that left to do is to make something with this sweetie!  Okay, that's it from me - I hope that all made sense.  If you have any questions, leave me a comment on this post and I'll get back to you.  Thanks for visiting!

These conveniences (we counted 5) must make you take into consideration buying multi-function printers.
There are lots of printer brand names online that offer advanced features.
So it's useful if you hunt for these multifunction printers on amazon, reviewed reviews and find an economical multifunction printer for on your own.
