This is an easy way to color those white or clear images (think wedding dresses, snowmen, animals and more!). You will first want to pick out your color combos that you want to use. The most popular combos for white/clear images are:
- BG10
-The C's (C3, C1, C00)
-The W's (W3, W1, W00)
I typically use BG10 with any image that is suppose to be frozen, cold or an outside image. I use the C's and W's for items with more warmth, such as clothing or wings. I will show you an image with the C combos and W combos!
Lets get started!
------------
STEP 1-
Here are the two images I will be coloring today. Wedding Audrey will have a white dress and veil and Cynthia the tooth fairy will be holding a white tooth.
STEP 2-
Pick out your color combo for wedding Audrey. I will be using C3, C1, and C00.
STEP 3-
Using your darkest color, shade where the dress would be the darkest (no light hitting) and on folds in fabric. Use a light hand...we do not want her dress to look gray or dirty. I also colored the veil.
STEP 4-
Go over the darkest color with your two lightest colors. Mine were C3 and C00. Remember not to color in a lot of the dress..just stick to shading.
STEP 5-
Here is what the shaded image looks like when finished.
STEP 6-
Continue coloring the image. The colors I used:
Dress/Veil: C3, C1, C00
Skin: E00, E21, R20
Hair: E37, E57
Bouquet: G94, BV00, Y02
Ribbon: V15, V17
Crown: V15
Starbursts: BG10
STEP 7-

STEP 8-
Now lets continue coloring Tooth Fairy Cynthia with the W's. I will be using W3, W1, and W00.
STEP 9-
Start with the darkest color and shade where the light does not hit (W3)
STEP 10-
Repeat the last step with the lighter markers (W1, W00). Remember not to color entire image so that the tooth still remains white and healthy looking!
STEP 11-
Here is what the entire image looks like when I am finished coloring it. The colors I used were:

Skin- E00, E21, R20
