Sassy Lili gets a vintage makeover!

hi Inky fans

I've got a quick picture tutorial today on how I used shading with prismacolor pencils to tone down the colours I used on Sassy Lili to give her a more vintage look

Sassy Lili

coloured with Copics

colours used

Skin E21,E00,E000

Hair E53, E51,E50

Eyes G02

Sun glasses E11 and YR16

Lilis top R37,R35,R32

Trousers B95,B93,B91

Sandals R95 and YR16

Necklace and bracelet YR16

lines of pencil drawn in on hair, cheeks and
shoulders, top and trousers

blended with solvent and blending stumps
you can see how the tones are darker
also I've given her somewhere to stand!

Finally shading was added round the edges 

I then put the lines of shading in with pencils ready to blend with blending solvent

Hair yellow ochre  pc942 and 70% warm grey pc1056

Top black pc935 and tuscan red pc937

Trousers 70% warm grey pc1056

cheeks and arms -tuscan red pc937

I then used blending stumps to blend the colours. 

Finally I highlighted around the edges with light aqua pc992 

and gave her glasses a gloss with glossy accents

The finished card

I then mounted he onto black card and used the gorgeous MME meadowlark paper which I thought gave it a 60's look, the flowers were punched with woodware daisy punches, the border is from spellbinders floral doily accents and the ribbon and gems from my stash. Finally the "lets party" sentiment is an Anna Griffin stamp with a little red bow and inky love heart charm to finish it off! 

I love adding shade to my characters with pencils - it can change the whole look and its really easy to do
