Kleiner Punk * Mo's DP # 235: Girly Birthday

Hallo Ihr Lieben! Nun ist schon wieder August - Wahnsinn, oder?! Momentan genießen wir in Niedersachsen die Sommerferien und nächste Woche geht es ab in den Urlaub! ;-) Heute habe ich erstmal ein neues Kärtchen für euch, da wieder eine neue Challenge bei Mo's Digital Pencil startet. Unsere fabelhafte Elaine möchte gern Beiträge zum Thema  "Geburtstag Mädchen" sehen.
Meine Karte ist für unser Patenkind. Sie steht momentan total auf "Monster High" und daher fand ich das Motiv "Little Punk" irgendwie ganz passend. ;-)

Prismacolor Tutorial 2: Kolorieren von dunkelbraunem Haar * Colouring dark brown hair

Hello crafters and Mo fans! ;-)

Today it's time for a new tutorial for Mo's facebook group “Bella and Bronte’s Clubhouse” and I would like to show you my way to colour brown hair on kraft paper. I will complete the image from my first tutorial and once it's finished the image will look like this:

This is the result from the skin tutorial and my starting point for today:

Step 1

I started by looking which parts of hair I would like to be the lightest and coloured them in strokes with CREAM. (Please do not wonder about the photo exposure, but I highlighted the photo so that you can see more of the strokes.)

Step 2

Next, I used GOLDENROD as basis for the rest of hair. You can already layer/blend these two colours by drawing slight strokes over the CREAM.

Step 3

By using CHESTNUT I started to model the parts of hair which I want to be the darkest. I also created a colour transition between light and dark by stroking into "highlights".

Step 4

Just intesify the darkest parts by using DARK UMBER to deepen the shadows.

Step 5

The last step is only to blend everything for smooth transistions. I chose LIGHT UMBER as my blending tone. And now the hair is already finished!

 

If you like, after finishing skin and hair you can trace all black lines with a very sharp black pencil.
And in case you are also interested in how I did her shirt, you can follow the pics step by step:

 

 

I am so sorry for the bad photo quality at the end, but it was already late and dark and I only used my smartphone camera. Nevertheless I hope, you liked my tutorial so far. In case of any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!

Liebe Grüße - hugs,
