Color a Realistic Afro + DT Tips + Pass the Brush!

July 15, 2020 by Sandy Allnock 1 Comment [featured_image}

I’m excited to be able to say I’ve colored this image up in a video – after having posted a version on social media and getting a gajillion requests for a tutorial. ha! Thanks to DigistampAtelier for having such awesome images for us to buy and print and color!

Supplies for this project are linked at the end of this post. Compensated affiliate links may be used at no cost to you.

This is a rarity – a realtime video! I’ve also got some blathering toward the end about my little dream of changing the industry for the better with changing DTs just a bit. Hoping to inspire some Black crafters to get out there and share their work and apply for teams!

View on YouTube.

One night while watching tv, I printed out the Afro girl digi quite large – and oh was it fun to get into the hair! I love a good hair challenge and this offered a great one. This piece ended up sent as a gift to my Pass the Brush guest – see more about her later in this post!

The final card, printed card-sized; there’s less detail in the hair due to the size but it still worked pretty well! If you’re trying to “learn” an image, sometimes a large version helps to work on technique!

Pass the Brush event!

I’m excited to be one of the hosts for “Pass the Brush” tomorrow and Friday, the 16th and 17th! A group of artists got together to celebrate diversity and hand over our instagram for two days – and Pam will be my guest doing the takeover! We had some FUN and silly zoom meetings – you’re going to love her! Find Pam here:
