Hey guys,
So im having some trouble with colors, my black/grey work is good, but i cannot do color at all. When i lay the ink the only way is putting it in solid, i cant do a like a shade which i can do in greys if u know what i mean. and my color always come out blotchy or doesnt hold and always inconsitent. im new to this site so ill try to add a pic of my black/grey work and one of my color. I just got a new machine which suppose to be a color packer (spring/armature bar) but im not positive that will make a difference. Ah i just need advice how to put color ink in! Thanks! -

When you say ‘shade’, I am guessing that you mean a lighter application of color, rather than blending one color into another? If you mean lighter application, I would suggest watering down the colored ink as you would water down black to make greywash :) I find that my color packer acts very much like a shading machine, with very minimal ink insertion on a first pass, and needs going over the area a few times to get the proper saturation, but because the machine hits so softly, it doesn’t chew the skin up in the process :) If you mean you are trying to blend colors, then I would suggest in addition to the fully colored area in the dark ink, do an area a few mm around it at say 50% saturation, then when you use the next color, over lap that color over the 50% area, so the two colors mix in the skin, before then going on to the area of full color. Kind of hard to describe what I’m meaning… For example
2 cm circle of solid red ink
Then have a 5mm ring of 50% red ink (not watered down pigment, but only one or two passes so the area is not fully saturated)
Then have a 15mm ring of yellow ink, starting at the edge of the 2cm circle. That will then make the 5mm ring of red ink become a 5mm ring of orange ink and create a 1cm ring of yellow ink outside of the ‘mixed’ area.Hope that’s of help :)

This video was very helpful. I was (am) struggling a bit with the same stuff. After watching this video I’ve practiced a bit, only on practice skin, but was able to really blend 1000x better than previously.
