Tall Cake

Hi there!
Helen here today showing you yet antother image from Mo Manning.
I can´t help it, I love her images.

The image is called Tall cake and it´s a digital stamp, so this time I printed it on Perfect Colouring Paper to be able to colour it.

I love to see the character become alive, so I often start with the skin, to make the image pop.

Skin: E000 - BV20 - E11 - E50.

This time I just wanted some shadows and highlights in this areas,
so I got a cold gray shade instead of a light blue on as I did here.

Cheeks: R00
Apron and bakers hat: C00 - C0 - C1 - C3 - Blender 0

I use to start moisturizing the part I´m going to colour with a light shade.
You can´t see a light area as E30, but it´s my first layer here.
Some might think it´s a waste of ink, but I got my ink to use,
and I believe it makes the transitions easier to create.

Cake: E30 -E31 - E33 - E35 - E37

Dress: BV10 - BV11 - BV15 - BV34

Hair: Y32 - E13 - E15

Icing: RV0000 - RV000 - RV02 - RV13
Tray: YR21 -YR23 - YR24
Outer glow from candles: Y00

Shoes: C3 - C5 - RV10 - RV13
Apron: RV13
Ground: W00 - W0 - W1 - W3 - W5

I finished my colouring  by making some bokeh effect,
to add some festivity to the image.

Bokeh:Y0000 - Y00, BV000 - BV00, BV0000 - BV10

Happy colouring till next time.
Love
Helen
