Description
here is a look at my coloring technique. as you can see i tend to block in very flat colors and let my line work and shadow shapes help define the three dimensional forms. you can get a lot of dimension just by adding a tone layer as well as a highlight layer. also i addΒ a scanned in texture of tea staining to help add a watercolor-ish feel and i find it helps take some of the digital feel away from the piece. this was painted in photoshop cs6.

Question, how do you achieve the tattoo look? I've drawn tattoos in the past on my characters and I cannot figure out how to make it look like it's on skin. I see two layers, but do they have specific layer options? And, is it a different process for coloured tattoos? Thanks!

I'm sure you are told this all the time... but your work is darling, whimsical, and beautifully executed.
I love every peice dearly, and it is wonderful to get a glimpse of the process.

Nifty! I just made a process gif like this for a project I did too. This moves so smoothly, though it looks like you have about twice as many screenshots as I had so go figure.

Thank you so much for sharing. The gif format really helps me to understand your steps in a very clear way. Im also thankful for your explanation post on the "tea stain" texture. I didnt understand that by watching the gif but you explained it in your writeup. This has inspired me to try by your example. Thank you.
