    1. Hey there, I'm pretty sure these were started with simple values, then a colour layer on top and further painting over. The costumes were mostly painted from scratch, except for patterns like the one on Prof Plum's jacket.

    2. Thanks so much cheryl. I will try this method. I think this much easier and accurate. than painting with color directly right?

    3. It depends really, what's important is to find a method that works for you. The downside of adding a colour layer onto a value painting is that the colours have a tendency to turn out looking dead and artificial, without the temperature and colour shifts that we perceive in real life. I'd highly recommend painting over after, using the values + colour layer only as a starting point. Hope this helps!
