This is lovely, I'm jealous of your skill. How do you transition from the draft to colouring it as that is my issue at the moment?

Thank you very much!
About colouring - I'm using "PANTONE solid coated" from swatches. I'm taking 4-5 colours for skin tones and same for lips and hair. In this palette colours are nicely grouped and you can easily pick a combination. You can also take colours from reference picture. I'm painting roughly and decide if I like this combination or mood of the scene. Then changing colours if needed and continue with more precise strokes and blending. This is my process between sketch and colouring. Hope it helps you.

Thanks and yes its a start for me. I am finding that my colour seems more like a 5 year olds drawing but I guess its all about practice.....and some knowledge of PS! lol

Use more vivid colours and don't be afraid to experiment. Practise is truly essential.

Thank you for taking the time to show me this. Wow, her eyes are amazing, I've never seen any quite like hers before. Here am I thinking you were taking an artistic license but wow. Anyone who's seen my gallery can tell I have a fondness for a Woman's eyes.
