Okay, so I am totally addicted to my colouring again and doing it digitally is a lot of fun, and it takes me hours and hours to complete an image. The fun part is if I make a mistake or don't like a colour, then it's so easy to change without starting all over again.
The images below are from Krista Smith and Tamara Van Wijk (the mermaid).
The first image started with a base of light blue followed by dark blue and apricot streaks, then I kept blending and shading and this is the end result. She has such a beautiful face.
