This weeks challenge was coloring black hair. I actually used my Copic Black marker! Something that I almost never use. Usually if I'm going to color black hair I have been adding brown or used BV marker. I'm so glad that I tried to use something outside of my comfort zone.
The image is a wonderfully cute one by The Greeting Farm and they are giving away an awesome prize! Hop on over to Copic Creations Blog for all of the details and to view other gorgeous samples by the talented design team.
I printed it out twice and colored the hair separate to give him more dimension.
Click on the images to view them larger. For the skin I used E00, E21, R20, and E33 for the freckles.
I used C00, C1, C3, C5, and 100 (Black) for the hair.
All copics used were C00, C1, C3, C5, 100,E00, E21, R20, E33, Y17, G02, G000, 0
White gel pen for the highlights.

Well, this is my second time commenting - my internet crashed just as I finished up the first time - so I think it's floating around in blogland somewhere! lol
I love your card Asela! It really shows that you are a true artist - the layout and added details really make it perfect, not to mention your awesome coloring! I really wish I had your tutorial too before coloring my image - I really struggled with this one! She kept looking like a gray-haired graduate!! :) Awesome card. hugz, Mary

Hi,
I used the black color copic 100 for black hair and it seems too dark to blend.
Is balck copic 100 useless did I made a mistake ?
Thanks
