Help me please...
I'm having difficulty coming up with color combos I like for blonde hair & especialy red hair using my Copic Sketch markers.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
LOL!! You mean I can Copic my grays instead of plucking them?!!! heehee
;)
Girl, lemme tell ya' . . . desperate times call for desperate measures!
All kidding aside, tho, if this is of any help to the OP and others:
I like Cream YR21 and Buttercup Yellow Y21 for blonde hair(on my stamped people.) ;)
For red hair, you might try laying down a little Salmon Red R05 (on it's own, it would be too bright a "tomato" red), and some Burnt Umber E09 where you want shadow, and then go back over between the two with the Salmon Red again, blending the two together for a nice rusty red. If it gets too bright, just add more Burnt Umber to tone it down again to more of a rich auburn look.
HTH,

Please forgive me, I found this on someone's blog and wrote it in my notebook. I can't give credit to the lady who had this list, I forgot to write her name down. I was impressed with this ladies work and ordered these this last weekend. I am due to get them Friday, so I am getting excited. The list is below, and if this is someone's list and you recognize it, please post your name for proper credit.
Dark Brunettes - E25, E49, E53, E59
Auburn/Red - E13, E17, E18, E19
Dark Blonde - YR23, E35, Y23
Light Blonde - Y11, Y21, E97, E99
Light Brunette - E25, E29, E31
Black - C3, C5, C7, C9
Golden Red Brunette - E39, E99, E18. YR23
Of course, it would have been smart to keep a link to the blog to actually see the lady's work to know what these look like together, but I didn't think of this at the time. So, if one of the ladies posting after me recognizes this list and know where to find the blog, I too would be most appreciative, since I too am new to stamping and need all the help I can get.
