This exercise should be a clear demonstration on how to colour a Manga drawing successfully step-by-step. Here we show a young girl, who sits in front of her computer. The initial drawing was achieved with a COPIC Multiliner SP with a line width of 0.1 mm (for the hair and details of the eyes) and 0.3 mm (for the pullover etc.) on a COPIC alcohol marker pad.
First of all choose a basic and general skin tone (E51) for the face, etc.
To give the face some depth, place shadows besides the eyes and at the base of the hair; and add E21 below the chin for contras.
Colour the hair with YR04 and YR07 (for shadow), and leaving white spaces for the highlights.
The iris of the eyes are coloured with R32 and RV02.
Then use marker BV00 for the pullover and colour the shadows with darker colours B32 and B26 to add volume.
Use the COPIC Airbrush with a gray marker (C03) to colour the monitor
Lastly, add an interesting screen tone of gradating lines. And voilĂ , you have achieved a fine work of art!
