Splitcoast Tutorial: Coloring (Fabric) Folds

This week's tutorial over on Splitcoast is brought to us by Copic guru Colleen Schaan  - she's sharing some tips for coloring ruffles and folds.

I took a couple of pictures as I was working, so you could see a little bit of my process. I used Touch Twin Markers for my coloring. Here are my first 2 stages, laying in shadows and my medium tone. The colors I used are listed below. Before coloring, I spritzed the panel with a homemade mist, made with water and Bister powders.
