Some of my Coloring Tips 

- Pick a lighting source when your coloring to help you understand where the shadow is on the images clothes and skin. Look at the folds in your shirts and skirts.

- I color dark to light. Which means coloring with the darker color then the lighter color. 

- To blend color pencils I use the prismacolor colorless blender and/or the copic colorless blender. 

- Don't be afraid to mix coloring from different families. Orange and Red or Yellow and Purple.

-Practice, practice, practice.

- Have FUN.
