Welcome to my art book! I draw anime in my free time, and post it here for the heck of it! ^o^
Feel free to vote and comment spam, it makes me feel loved! ;D
I use my phone for digital art, with free app Ibis Paint X. Sometimes I also use Paint Tool...
SKDJEJFKS I HIT 500 FOLLOWERS!! THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH ;u; You have made my day! <3 I'm gonna talk about what I wanna do to celebrate later in the chapter since you guys probably just came for art XD
So then, looks like it's time for some drawing tutorials, eh? ^o^
Lol, I should've done a "how to draw hair" first, but I seriously don't even know how to explain since my process is weird af, involves mostly just trial and error, and overall is just hectic and hit-or-miss ;-; So uh... Have a Mark Crilley video. ;-;
So I'll start the coloring tutorial off with traditional!
What I used to color: Copic markers, Gelly Roll gel pen, white Prismacolor colored pencil.
Copic colors: E11, E13, E23, E18 (in order from lightest to darkest used)

You of course don't need these colors, or even materials specifically. This technique should work for colored pencils, and maybe watercolor as well. (Idk about watercolor, cause I've never tried it with anything like this) You just need to make sure you have:
1. A very light base color 2. A light color for blending 3. A medium color for shading and some blending 4. A dark color for shadows and dark shading.
So let's begin! I collaged these to save chapter space since the picture limit is 20 :')

Step 1: Use your base color to cover a large area where your highlight will be. Make sure you cover a good bit just in case. Better to cover more than needed than not enough! The reason for this is streaking. (Mainly only an issue with markers and/or watercolor paints)
Step 2 (optional). Use your dark color to mark a line where a dark portion will be. Put this pretty close to your highlight area.
3. Use your light or medium color to begin shading below the dark area. I'd reccomend the light color since this area won't have a highlight, so you'll wanna cover all of it.
