Adding Colour

After having my base sketch, I then drew over the woman in the orignal poster so my design would match up with the original image.

I started this process by going over the whole picture of the woman in black so I could have a basic outline of where to add the colours on my picture. From this, I duplicated this layer for each colour I needed and erased the unnecessary part for each of the colours. Eventually, I ended up with a layer for her clothes, skin, hair, etc.

This is an example of one of the colour layers, which is the skin. I added arms from the original picture as I was going to give the girl on my poster a shorter sleeved shirt, so I had to improvise by making the arm shape myself.

This is what my image looked like after finishing the initial colouring. It still has the same pose as the original image, but the clothes were drawn from scratch so they would fit on the woman better.
