Play In The Leaves

Aloha,

Is there a change in the air where you live? Is it a little crisper than in midsummer? Here's to Fall! I made a little Hispanic girl for today & I know just the right girlfriend to send her to :)

This is a technique using color pencils but to create a more "watercolor" look to it. I didn't even know that was possible. But this girl (me) is almost done with the Color Pencil Jump Start Class taught by Sandy Allnock. I also used one of the Autumn Scenes Class she teaches to create a simple fall-colored scene.

Copic Coloring Day 5 - Creating Hair and Skin colors

We watched examples of some of the instructors. Each has her own way of coloring, color choices, coloring styles. It was very interesting to see them all. But in the end, I chose to create my own color combinations for both hair and for skin.

You can tell by the last one, I was really beyond tired, so had to create ghetto girl, aka inner city girl. Maybe the meanings of those names have changed over the decades since we used to use them. I don't know, we don't see that over here - I live on a Hawai'ian island. Anyway, here is my homework for today. Hair colors are vertically listed on the left of the photos, skin colors are listed in the boxes below the images.

As always, thank you dear lovely friends who take the time to come over, check out what is happening, glean what you may like, avoid what you don't :) and remember, I APPRECIATE YOU!!!

Aloha, can you tell I am exhausted in a happy way? My brain is mush and I'm ready 

to brush my teeth and slither into bed now. 

Much aloha my dear friends :*

This IS a VERY GOOD WAY to create your very own hair and skin combo's for whatever markers you are using. Then keep it as a resource!

The rest of this weekend will be dedicated to coloring ballerinas (thrill) -- aloha!
