I always paint my motives with Distress Ink. Here is a picture on the Bombshell´s I will show you. AFTER... |
...AND BEFORE... |
I start with soft soft skin color. Much water and a tiny drop of color. After the first plain layer with color, I have more color at the edge of the lines. |
Shadows... And after that, I soften it down, so the edge of the skin color is soft and not so sharp. |
More color in the hair, as the same way as the skin. Lot of color nearly the lines and, soften it down. |
I paint lots of layers, and fill in more color, and more... and more... And when I´m satisfied with the shadows, I sometimes use another color in the shadows, as you can see in her clothes. |
Here she´s done! And she got some eye brush color too... |
Left: Done without white highlights... Right: With some white highlights... and dots at her cheeks. |

The same procedure with this two... BEFORE... |
