The next step was to bring the drawing to life and give it some depth. I had to make sure the white skin colour I created didn't turn out orange or too pink so tested a few times whilst blending. The other colours were pretty basic to the set and to blend but I still had to build them up and create shadows to add onto the base layer of colour. The Earth's green and blue I was worried about being too saturated but came out fine and using a blending technique I managed to not over power them. The blending technique also allowed me to add shadows and highlights to areas that did not have them originally. The cape was hard to decide on colour wise. I looked at greek capes used for mythology or in the real world. God's were often depicted with white robes but did often wear similar to the real world of blues and reds. I thought the blue and red would take away from the globe a bit and be too saturated. The white I thought might not stand out as well and wouldn't look as worn so instead I blended a brown, yellow and white together to create a more worn down looking cape. This added to the overall look that the character was beaten and worn out. Finally the design was outlined to make it pop and separate the colours from one another.
