This next impression was one of the most difficult I have ever done. It's a multi-step process, similar to the grey undercoat of the hair: moisten the gradation zone, rub pigment over the block just nudging up to that area, wipe off the edge with a wet tissue, then gently feather the joint with an empty brush. But compared to the grey block, the gradation zone on this one is far narrower ... in places only a few millimeters wide. It needs a very steady hand when pushing that pigment forward ...
The next one was trivial in comparison ... one of the tones to give shape to the comb:
Tomorrow we'll start to add more actual colour ...
