Kitsune Enchantment - WIP3

color pencil with copic marker Back ground

Photo has some loss of contrast and color.

Her mane/hair is metallic silver so doesn't show on post. looks good.

BG will be blacked out with copic marker and then color pencil detail over it. I did some experimenting and liked how it turned out. I usually don't experiment.

Suggestions/critique always welcome.

    Looking pretty good, love the Kimono. I know you are experimenting so I just want to remind you that Copics are not color fast, so they will fade over time, not sure how it will do with the colored pencil over it.

      The only copic I'm using is warm gray 9. And if you keep em away from UV they should last a lifetime. (UV Plex) I have DarkNatasha pieces from 2000 that are heavy on the markers and they seem as vibrant as new.

        OK, good. I just never like to use anything that might fade if I can help it. I hate when a picture doesn't keep it's color!

    Awesome update on this delectable image. I also appreciate the hint you told the first commenter, as I just started playing with Copics. >.>

      Thanks!
      Yeah, if you leave a copic piece in the sun for even a couple days, you can see fade.

        That's good to know. I'm currently inking a sketch that I got from Dark Natasha, back in '04.
        Planning on coloring it too, so I'm getting as many hints for proper coloring as I can.

    I'd almost be tempted to leave this as is. Such a lovely piece, please resist any temptation to over work it.

    Her facial expression looks Japanese. I studied the language and culture for three years. You have real talent.
