What you'll learn
- Create different hair colors and textures on adult coloring pages or drawings.
Description
Up your coloring game! Create amazing effects with colored pencils and see immediate improvement in your coloring style and presentation.
Hair color is a tough subject. Getting hair to look realistic and three-dimensional on a flat coloring page is properly tricky. After taking this course, you will color unbelievable hair with ease.
Learn from a professional artist, YouTuber, and author or over a dozen adult coloring books - Lisa Mitrokhin.
Enjoy short, bite-sized lessons, packed with life-changing information, theory, demonstration, and even art history.
Follow along with your instructor at your own pace, and learn to apply what she teaches to other coloring pages by other artists. This course is so much more than a series of color-alongs. It's an investment in your coloring future.
Lisa provides all the pages you need to practice the different effects. She draws illustrations specifically for every course.
Here, you will practice on different hair styles and textures, and cover blond, red, black, and brown hair, and even color highlights.
Make sure to follow the lessons in order, and watch every video all the way through. Feel free to play back, pause, and take as long as you need on homework assignments.
Lisa is always just a message away. Feel free to reach out to your instructor with a private message, or post questions, comments and work-in-progress shots in the Q&A section.
And make sure to stay to the very end. Lisa tends to reward her students for completing a course.
Have fun!

My very first memories of life are strongly visual. I was two, I was still bound to my crib. I explored the world with my eyes. At three I began to draw. I drew a dog - my favorite thing on Earth. My parents immediately began supporting my obviously obsessive drawing habit. Raising a child in Soviet Russia, however, was no easy task in the early 80's. My parents couldn't buy me paper or pencils, or brightly colored markers. I had a few pencils and pens from my mom's drafting supply, and some colored pencils appeared eventually - they were all mismatched. I had a lot of graph paper - another thing I'm sure I inherited from my scientist parents - and cardboard. There was always cardboard to draw on.
I grew up not knowing that there was anything wrong with not having art supplies. I grew up having fun being a kid, playing outside in the sun with my friends, human and canine alike, doodling the rest of the time. I grew up making art. I was truly happy. Today, when I teach coloring and drawing, I often speak strongly against getting hooked on brands, or seeking out fancy pencils hoping that they will somehow improve your art. I preach making art with what you have, because true art comes from the heart, not from brand labels and price tags.
This isn't to say that high-quality products are bad. I work mainly with Black Widow pencils for instance, and my recording studio is filled with high-end camera equipment. The difference is, I didn't use name brands to learn art. I learned art, and then got quality supplies, as a reward. The important thing is not to buy into the idea that labels sell quality as well as talent and skill. Learn first, upgrade as needed.
As your personal instructor, my job (above all) is to teach you how to see, and then to equip you with technical steps needed to translate what you see into what others can observe and appreciate as well.
