Step # 2
Bust out the colors!
1) There are my Microns. I use # 3 for contour lines (is that the right word?), ie body and clothes. I use # 2 for any other interior décor, like her boob horns and the flappy things. # 1 is used to her face, collar bone, and hair. I have a dying # 2 that I use for hair (fly-aways).
2) Prisma markers: flesh tones
For Teela, I use the following flesh tone colors:
# 1 Crème
# 2 Eggshell
# 3 Light Peach
# 4 Sand (shading)
# 5 Light Walnut (deep shading)
I use these colors for most average flesh tones, except for Layla and Ny’Kohl. Layla has fairer skin and is more milky white. Ny’Kohl because she’s a total introvert and spends time inside.
3) Colors!
For her costume I used the following: Brick White, Golden Rod, Cool Grey 10%, Cool Grey 20%, Spanish Orange, Sienna Brown, Orange. I had intended on using some more blues, but I didn’t get a chance too.
For her hair, I used Spanish Orange, Orange, and Terra Cotta
Though, personally I prefer color pencils myself for traditional coloring.
This one Ah-Kaziya did for me two years ago highlights this: brendan2k5.deviantart.com/art/…
As does this one she did for me last month: brendan2k5.deviantart.com/art/…
Oh, she can also do digital coloring but if these and the other commissions she's done for me are any indication, she makes it look good XD
Of course, that's also just my personal preference. Speaking of which and on an unrelated note, I'd like to take a shot at colorinng two of your sketches with your permission.

I won't do it if you say no though I have been working very hard on coloring stuff for the last 8 months XD
