How to draw a face. Part 3 of 3. " Embarassed" By Paige Rohrick of PaigeeDraw.
Hi, I'm Paige from PaigeeDraw. Welcome to my video tutorials.
Now I'm going to color the face. Here I am going to use E000. I use Copic Markers and you can find them on my online store at shop.paigeedraw.com.
Once you are done with the base color, you start with your pinkish tones. I always like to use pinkish tones for girl characters because it seems more feminine.
I also like shading with different colors. If I used earth tones, it wouldn't be as interesting. then I make a line around the nose area. We will blend this later.
so at this point you want to know where your light source is and here it is coming from this direction.
You still put a bit of dark on the face just not as much. Now I am going to add more of my base color E0000. And the reason I use a light shade for my skin is because I like to shade a lot. I can add more and more color to get my skin darker.
Now I use E000 to blend the colors. so I have just finished the skin and now I can start on the hair color.
I'm going to make a really dark brown, almost black. So I am going to use E47 and that will be my base color. Sometimes you have too much ink on, if you use your colorless blender to pick up some of that color, it will fix that. Now that I'm done ...
...with the base I am going to use E29 which is kind of reddish. It makes the hair look rich. This color I tend to use too much ink so I will use my colorless blender.
I am constantly changing my tips. And I'm almost done here. Now I will make the hair even darker by using T7. Warm and toner gray are best to make blackish hair. You just want a tiny bit. I will blend it after with my base color.
So, I have finished that. Now I will use BV01. I want to work quickly while it is still wet. I do this so that when I blend it flows better. I use Bv04 for that. Then I go in with the base again. I just finished the bow.
Now I will work on the eyes. I find that when you make bright eyes with dark hair it is dramatic. So I'm going to make bright blue eyes on this character. I'm going to use B00 as my base and then let it dry for a couple of seconds.
Now I am going to use B01. I start with the pupils. So if you split the eyes and color the top portion. It should be a similar color to the base. Once that is dry you use an even brighter color; which will make it stand out (BG02).
I find that it isn't popping as much as I would like so I will add B05 which is pretty white. Now I will add some shine with white gel pen. Now I just finished coloring this face.
