Zoe's excited to be releasing another colouring tutorial and it is on a topic that everyone always seems to want to improve... Colouring Hair!! And in particular this e-book is, 'Colouring long hair in fine detail!'
I am excited to have been invited to use Zoe's tutorial for coloring long hair. The image is gorgeous, and so fun to color.
I wish I had hair this incredible, but alas, no. I changed the colors for her hair to a slightly blonder version, as well as changing the color of her dress and eyes to green. In practicing the tutorial, I found that I did better if I used the flicking technique, throwing caution to the wind. When I tried for the detail, I got too heavy handed and messed up. With the free-flowing flicking technique, it all just came together.
When Zoe was trying to decide on an image that would be perfect for this tutorial she just knew she had to contact the gorgeous Krista Smith from Saturated Canary. And... Excitingly Krista has illustrated and generously donated this perfect character exploding with big luscious hair full of layers and bumps! Just perfect for you to learn all of Zoe's little secrets to colouring finely detailed hair. We thought it would be fun to have a little hop (and a few give aways of course) where the fabulous MiC girls and Krista have followed Zoe's tips and tricks to colouring long straight hair.
So next in the hop is the amazing Ruby.
Thanks for stopping by, and check out Zoe's tutorial!!! She does a wonderful job of taking you through step by step in great detail. You won't be sorry!
