Mad for Markers - Black hair tutorial

Hi ladies! This is my first post for Mad for Markers and it's my very first tutorial! Let me say first that I am not Copic Certified, this is just showing you how I like to do black hair.

I tend to colour from lightest to darkest. I first coloured C0 where I like the highlights to be, then work my way through to darker colours - C2, C3, C6 and finally C8.

Hopefully you can see the progression in my photo. Finally in girl 6 I have gone back to C0 and blended all together.

Sometimes for black hair, I like to add a blue into the highlights for shiny hair. I haven't done it in this case.

So how painless was that?? Hopefully this might be of some help to anyone out there that is new to copics and looking for some hints.

Other copics used

Skin - E000, E01, E11

Clothes - YR04, YR07, YR09

Shading - W0, W1

Have a great weekend
