Colouring Red Hair in Polychromos Pencils/Adult colouring tutorial

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Hi!
In this video I'll be showing you how I colour red/ginger hair using Polychromos pencils. As a hair colour it has a lot of different tones so I use quite a few pencils to get a realistic effect. If you're looking to make a portrait have a fiery hair colour then this should prove helpful, and it can also be transferred to creating red fur on animals such as foxes.
I'm coloring in Slavic Beauties by Krystyna Nowak, the page is called "Gentleness" and is also available on her Etsy store.
Pencils used:
Buff Titanium Luminance OR Ivory 103
Green Gold 268
Terracotta 186
Indian Red 192
Caput Mortum 169
Walnut Brown 177
Burnt Carmine 193
Dark Red 225
Deep Red 223
Black 199

    Omg I don't see enough tutorials with Krystyna's books. I love them they're so beautiful and paper is perfection. Thank you for this. Sometimes just seeing someone else working on an image gives me the inspiration I need to see it finished for myself. Beautiful tutorial!!!

    Thank you so much for this tutorial on how to color red hair @KatKolors! I am looking forward to coloring red hair. I just got a full set of Faber-Castell Polychromos for Christmas and I am excited to use them. I was told that the more colored pencils used to color hair, the more realistic the hair will look. I hope that the hair on my coloring page turns out as good as yours looks.I really enjoyed watching your process. Can you tell me where you got your pencil sharpener from? Thank you again for this wonderful tutorial! Happy New Year to you!!! 😃

    Well I hope you enjoy using them! The Polychromos take some getting used to, but they are gorgeous pencils for layering. Definitely try to add as many believable tones as possible to hair, but it's a balance - too many colours can result in them becoming 'muddy'. Two highlights, three mid-tones, and two dark tones are always a good place to start. As for the sharpener that's the Faber-Castell Trio sharpener, which you can find on Amazon and most good art stores. It's perfect for Polys!

    @@ChildofGod68 I am hoping to do more tutorials, but I must admit I have not had the time for colouring/art since beginning university. I do have a colour combo for light brown/caramel hair, but I highly recommend checking out Art by Karen Valentine on here - she's got a ton of hair colours and often works in Polychromos
