Coloring Hair

Hi again, hope you all had a great holiday season! A great time for family, friends, coloring... :) So let's dive right back into it, shall we?

Today's blog covers how to color hair. Now we all know the variety of colors that hair comes in, so this blog is more about adding highlights and lowlights to the characters in your Stuff2Color posters.

Check out my examples below. You'll need 2 to 3 shades in similar colors.... so if you're going blonde you may want a yellow, light brown, and maybe just leave some strands white (if you don't have a lighter yellow color to choose from). Brunettes-light brown, dark brown, and black. You'll want to color the majority of hair in your middle tone. Then add lighter tones to the top of his/her head and darker tones to the hair underneath.

Or as in the case with "Cat Lady" I also like to alternate between 2 similar colors just to give some variety and depth to her hair.

Finally, in some cases like "Wizard", I like to add strands of gray to age him a little.

 Any other tips for creating colorful, realistic hair? I'd love to hear em! Take care and keep on coloring!
