Step 1, Colour Female Portrait

Step by Step

I started on the eyes first with this drawing and quickly using Prisma black cherry to fill in the back ground. I used Prisma black and Prisma Indigo blue to fill in the shoulder part of the dress. Everything at this stage is just quickly roughed in to help with simultaneous contrast. For the eyes I used a mix of Prisma colours, sky blue, black, beige sienna, canary yellow, Spanish orange, light green and pomegranate. Remember all I want to do is quickly get ride of as much of the white surface as quickly as I can at this stage.
