How I paint with distress Ink

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.
Close up...
The same procedure with this two...

...AND AFTER... 


That´s all for this time! Big big hug from me to you!
