I'm sure there are various ways to apply color........many of which are faster than what it takes me but I have found a method I really enjoy. It's very time consuming like graphite can be for me when I get into putting down marks and blending.
My subject is a new miniature Raggedy Ann doll I found at a local shop in Tavares, FL. I've always wanted one of these dolls and finally after 61 years, I finally bought one. She comes in a matching fabric basket. I had her sitting on my table and included the interior background which I chose to leave plain (no color).
Below the finished sketch I am sharing several steps. This is about 21 or 22 layers total which includes a cold press watercolor texture background, date, signature, and a splatter layer.
These four screen shots show how I work the color.
And here are the steps from line drawing, adding hatching for shading, to finished results with color.
