Business trip?

Loved colouring this image.  Everything just seemed to fall into place.  Makes a change for me lol.

Hair:   TN1, TN2, GB1, GB6, GB7 & GB9.  Imagining where the light source was I used the lightest pen first to colour where I thought the highlights should go. In this case I chose GB1 as my highlights.  Slightly more colour in than TN1, which looks on my key to be as light as GB1 but slightly duller.  After putting my choice of highlights down I started from the darkest to the lightest using flicking motions in an attempt to get some movement in the hair.  Not sure if I succeeded but I like the finished result!

Jacket, garters  and bows in hair:  CR4, CR6 & CR7. I lay the darkest colour first following the lines in the image before going onto lightest colour to saturate the card before using the middle shade (CR6) to create shadow then going back in with lightest colour, using small circular movements to help blend the 2 colours together.

Skirt:  Oops!  Yet again I didn't write the pens down But I'm quite sure they were from the TN family.

Skin:  TN1, TN2 & TN3 I left the centre of the face white but using lightest colour I did go around the edges using TN1. Once I'd added the darker shades I then went all over the face with TN1.  I do think leaving areas white until the end gives more shading and highlights the centre of the face. (If you know what I mean).

Headband & Boots:  Yeah! why not, I felt the image needed some vibrancy so I chose pens: BT1, BT2 & BT4. Starting with lightest shade (BT1) then working around right side of boots and both sides of headband I went in with BT3 followed by BT2 then blending them together with BT1.  For the small flower I just used BT1 & BT2

Suitcase: Okay, I decided to go a bit wild here and chose to fluorescent pens, FL3 and FL1.......just because I can lol.  I used EB1 to add some shading.  Once the inks on the suitcase were dry I stamped over it with a small cluster of flowers stamp using Adirondack ink pad colour: Pool.

Blouse:  Very small area but nevertheless still needs to be coloured.  although it could have been left white.  If you want to have part of an image white just go around the edges with IG! or IG2.  Instead I used FL1 and FL2 then went in with the blender pen to lighten the left side of the blouse,  Thought it matched her outfit lol.  Looking at it now, it could be mistaken for skin....oh! Rude woman!
