Description
This is my Usul on Neopets, Anji.I get her next month. ^^
I've been drawing her a lot. She's a fallen angel, which is why her wings are missing.
...And here's a happy picture of her. :3

Aww, thanks~
It's not hard, though! I could totally tell you how each is done in like five steps, it's so simple. ;3

I have major problems colouring hair on digital software XD
I can do it no problem on coloured pencils though!
So sure, tell me these 5 steps please? O3O

It's probably easier shown than explained, so tell me if I'm confusing or vague.
But for hair:
1) Fill in lineart with the most middle shade, blocking in the basic shape.
2) The places where you see the lineart on the hair, trace them over with a darker shade (your shadow) - like valleys in hair. The "crease" between groups of strands. Derp, can't explain. x)
3) Places far from lineart towards your light source, get a really light shade and make some strokes there.
4) Make a bunch of really light strokes in direction of hair, and then really dark strokes - they don't blend very well.
5)Find your base color again, the very first one, and lower the brush opacity half way and stroke over both light and dark, making more strokes where light becomes dark.
6) Go back and make several strokes of strands in light areas with light colors and dark areas with dark colors. For chunks of hair, you'd have the hair but it would still have strands in it so you need to add dark colors too. Lower the opacity of the brush and keep going over it with shadows wherever there's a "crease".
Okay, that was six.
Think of hair as individual strands bunched together.
Omg, I don't think that helped you. |DD I'm bad at explaining.

Thanks Nadia for explaining it! I will try it out on my next drawing.

for some reason think her dress look like a wedding dress

Ohh, I see that. It's just her original dress, though.
Part of the reason she fell was for falling in love.
Maybe the dress implies something? ;D

"She's a fallen angel, which is why her wings are missing."
So THAT'S why there's pinkish redish most likely blood on her back! (And I know primary goes first I'm just saying what was more prominent.

Haha, it actually looks more red to me. x)
Anyways, yes - they're healing scars from when she got her wings torn out. :C

Well it looks more pink to me. 
Yay healing scars!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I did use red to color it, but then I lowered the opacity of the later. We're both right, I guess. ;D
...I don't think they'll heal completely. Scars are fun to draw. x3

GO US!
Psssh.....people without scars are just so...boring. But a limb being cut off is much more interesting than just a scar. XD (Just saying. Nah...just joking.
