I decided to do something a little different and share my process for coloring images. I used a digital stamp by Artist, Lizzy Love of Oddball Art Co. For the image on the left below, I colored it with copic markers (G46, G43, G40, E00, E000, Rv95, RV93, RV91, and a couple blues for her eyes). I used Letraset Promarkers for her hair. But....the colors aren't as vibrant as I'd like. The highlights and shadows could use some help too. So...I went over the copic-colored areas with colored pencils in similar shades, producing the image to the right below. As you can see, the colors are brighter and more defined.
In addition to providing depth and definition, colored pencils also blend beautifully. I use a white Priismacolor pencil to go over the entire image to seamlessly blend all of the colors. The Priismacolor colorless blender is supposed to achieve the same result. However, I find that it leaves too much wax build up on the surface of the paper. So....the white pencil is my preference..
