A while back I discovered that if you put several layers of different colors on top of each other you get a very nice variation in colors. The only problem is that contrary to painting when using pencils the colors are a bit unpredictable.
Yesterday I found that if you layer colors with different tones the result is much more predictable and you get that feeling of depth which is missing when you only use one color.
Nice lips

In this study I’ve tried both techniques. Using blue to darken the shades isn’t working out. But I’m especialy proud of the mouth. In both lips I used a layering of three colors. In the upper lip one orange and two reds and in the lower lip an orange, a red and a purple.
I’m just wondering if I didn’t mix up the shades. Shouldn’t the lower lip be the ligther one?
