Iroenpitsu de Egaku Toho Illustration Technique: Mini Character kara Hajimeru Illustration Making(Japanese)

A colored pencil technique book that uses characters from Touhou Project. Socha, who also wrote a Copic technique book on Touhou illustration, explains how to color by hand, mainly with small, short-bodied "mini characters". The whole book uses only two 12-color sets: one of oil-based colored pencils and one of water-soluble colored pencils. Chapter 1 covers the tools and the two basic methods, gradation and layering, using Satori Komeiji and Koishi Komeiji. Chapter 2 puts these into practice on mini character coloring pages of Reimu Hakurei, Rumia, Patchouli and Koakuma, and Kutaka Niwatari, with some metallic pencils as well. Chapter 3 is a lesson on layering by a guest artist, following the making of a Kasen Ibaraki picture. Chapter 4 turns character coloring into finished works: Reimu Hakurei from the cover, Suika Ibuki in layered cyan, magenta, yellow and black, Yuyuko Saigyouji with color melted by a water brush, Flandre Scarlet and Sakuya Izayoi. Chapter 5 shows guest artists making pictures of character pairs with taller proportions, plus a section that turns those characters into mini characters and some short technique tips.
