Colors Used:
In order: R21 – R43 – RV34 – BV31 – N3 (W3 reccommended)
Key Points:
- Try to choose colors before hand
- Slowly build colors from light to dark (dark to light is fine too if you have the confidence)
- Growth point, ends, and inner hair are darkest
- Hair is not perfect and flat
- At least 3 colors are recommended
- Use careful, but quick strokes originating from the darkest point
Tips:
- Try to not use a lot of ink
- If you’re using thin paper, you might want to give it some “drying time”
- if you want a swatch book or printable copic color chart, Otakufuel has them
Good luck and get drawing!
