Coloring process on Poppulaura

I managed to take pics of a coloring process this time if anyone is interested.

1. Outlines( I would have took pics of the sketch but I forgot)

2. Poppy’s skin, specifically the shadows. I don’t have the greatest variety of marker colors so I usually have to blend the colors I want with a light and a dark color, in this case a magenta color and a hot pink color. Here I’m using the darker magenta color first.

3. Now I’m going back over her skin with the hot pink color and blending in the areas I want to be Blended more such as cheeks and the tips of the ears. I’m also coloring any light pink parts in the picture, except for I forgot Poppy’s arms but I did it later.

4. Coloring all the pink hair shadows and any other magenta parts.

5. Next I use light and medium gray markers for shadows on eyes, teeth/fangs and skirt and white parts.

6. I like to add a bit of light blue when I color white clothing or fur, so I added it here on her clothing just a smidge 😝.

7. Then I blend it together with the light gray(biege really) marker. Also added some medium gry over top of Poppy's arms and legs to make it look like nylon or netting.

8. Black marker next, add all the black shading. Now I probably could’ve stopped around this step for her hair, but it was a bit too shiny for my style.

9. Blending, now I normally use light blue marker to go back over the highlights and my black shading but Draculaura’s has slight pink highlights in hair black hair so I used a light pink marker instead of light blue but I still use light blue for the highlights on the shoes.

10. Final step. Highlights and details(or touch ups if needed) I use a white prismacolor pencil for doing highlights and aiding in blending. I also use a white gel pen for things I want to extra pop like eyes or metallic things or Poppy’s glitter freckles.

Done! If anyone is wondering the markers I’m using here are Zig clean color real brush.

New Poppulaura merch is up!

Here's some examples, and I need your opinions on whether or not I should do away with the pink background on some products and just have black? Or maybe another another color, I can't tell if the pink is too garish.
