Lilliana...

...in colour.

You honestly didn't think it would be long before I added colour to one of these images; did you?

I normally start with the skin and hair when I colour an image...
 ...using Spectrum Noir pens I shaded as follows:-
Hair: TN3, TN8, EB3, EB4, BG7 and the Skin:FS3, FS4, FS5, CR3. The colouring for the Eyes: EB4 with a touch of EB8.
I also tried the image against a kraft coloured background to get an idea about mounting.

Then came the hair-bow and top...
 ...these were coloured with: - Top/Bow: HB1, HB2, HB3. This time I tried it against a mauve glitter card background.

Now I was on a roll so wanted to get the image finished...
 ...Jeans: BT1, BT2, BT3, BT4, BT5 and the Shoes/Knee patch: LV1, LV2, LV3. Lavender glitter card was used as the background for this shot.

I really enjoyed colouring this image...
...now I need to think of something to use it on.......................................................................

What a lovely image and so beautifully coloured in. When I try that with pens it looks like a five year old has done it badly so I really admire it when folks can do it so nicely :)
