Red Blonde Hair Tutorial from Dressy Girl Lisa

Good evening everyone!

As part of the ADU Design Team I have been asked to create some colouring tutorials.

I thought this time I would concentrate on the decidedly difficult blonde hair. I know we all have a limited palette of colours available to us so here is a tutorial which covers blonde and a variation on a "redhead".

Here I started with a new ADU image that was created for my gorgeous daughter.  She has two cuddly toys, "Winnie" and "Tony" and you can see them cuddled tighly in her arms.  A massive thank you to the wonderful Artist, Wendy Burns.

I always start with a minium of 3 pens.

Here ae my choices:

I start with the lightest colour first, and build up my colour.

It's easier to add colour than it is to take it away!

 I apply the next colour over the top of the first, starting at the ends, heading into the centre, but leaving a little white area which will become the highlight/shine.

 Continue adding colour.

 You can see I am using less of the darker colours and not colouring as far as the previous colour.

 Go back over the whole image with the lighter colour to give a seamless blend.

 Here is my gorgeous girl, completed.

I hope you can see the amazing shine on the hair.  

Hugs.
