Description
How I color hair, featuring Centuris Prime who belongs to *dubird
Hope this is helpful! Even though it's messy!!
I use Prismacolor colored pencils so when I talk about colors, that's the brand :3
I use Sakura Micron pens to ink (.02 and .05) and Strathmore drawing paper, it's the 300 series (yellow cover).

I use it mostly for brown and golden hue hairs but you can use it to smooth out a lot of things

I used you tutorial, am so happy. I used black in the hair to show individual srands since that's my weakness. I even credited you cause you helped so much. [link]

Will a prismacolor colorless blender work with other pencils?
I'm too poor to get Prismacolors.

Have you ever used a marker colourless blender? I use this instead of the pencil colourless blender and I was wondering if there was much of a difference.
Is there any chance you could do a skin colour tutorial?

I have never used a marker colorless blender. I only have about 11 Prismacolor markers that I toy around with once in a while, but no blenders. My guess is that they do the same thing, but I bet the marker ones get gunky fast.
[link] is a coloring tutorial I did that has some skin colors in it, I'm not sure if that will help

Lol I noticed that tutorial after I commented. Thanks
With my marker what I do is wipe it on a scrap piece of paper to get rid of the colour left over on it. It's kind of annoying.
I recently did a piece using markers for the skin. I usually use a really light coloured peach Laurentien pencil crayon, so it was really a huge difference. I'm starting to warm up to it though.

Wow that's awesome!!!where can you find blender pencils?
π: 0 β©: 1
Most stores that sell prismacolors will also sell the blenders. you can also buy them online. I get mine from utrechtart.com

Prismacolors. My favorets
Oh yah... and they work great over watercolor base too btw.
π: 0 β©: 1
Wow thats killer. People give me them randomly too, it's good being known as 'the artist' lol
Thanks for the tip about the watercolor base. I haven't tried too much with watercolors

I'm a big fan of mixed media so I've been working it little by little into my traditional art to see what effects I can get. About the only thing I can't work with is pastels because I'm alergic to the talc or something in them.
And yah, it's great being known as the 'artest' isn't it? Every time someone gets bored with their supplies they get donated to me. That's how I got all my ceramic glazes actually.
I think my half of the basement is ahome for orphaned art supplys sometimes
Or as I call them, my treasures
π: 0 β©: 1
i have boxes of stuff in my basement from my studio when I moved out. I poke through it once in a while and go, "WOW I have this?!" haha
π: 0 β©: 1
LOL! Oh good, I thught I was the only one that did that... Though with me it's embroidery supplies on that one.
Pappy makes a little bit of fun of me because he never has to wonder where something is to borrow it. Not only do my supplies have homes... the shelves and drawers are labeled too...
I'm sure there's something that can be said about my mental health regarding that

i wish mine were organized XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Lol... I'll come over and sort them for you.
I'm probably weird but I actually enjoy the process of organizing things.
π: 0 β©: 1
I do too sometimes but usually Im a mess :3

There ARE messy places in my house.. but my studio isn't the primary victim. It was at my mom's cause I never had time to do much art cause she always had some household project to complete by some arbitray date to be replaced by the next project and date.. Lol.
Left to my own devices I'm sort of a compulsive organizer.

I'm a compulsive unorganizer.

LOL! So is Pappy, it's the one thing we actually argue about. He THINKS he's organized but like things are not all in one place which means he is not
Ah well, we all have vices. Mine is coffee.
