Face tutorial

Hello everyone, welcome! Thank you for stopping by as I have one of my faces to share with lots of photos showing the different stages it went through before I finished. I put the detail and materials I used at the bottom of the post, so sit back and scroll through the stages, and I'll see you at the bottom!

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope the photos helped to show how she developed 

I started by sketching out the face using a graphite pencil and once happy, I  switched to Prima Water Soluble Pencils to block in some colour. Next I used white acrylic paint to lighten the face and added Prima Water soluble Oil Pastels to add more shadows.  I moved between the Oil Pastels and Pencils until I felt I had the skin tone to where I was happy. I added Inktense Pencils to add the brighter colours. The background was created using Ecoline watercolours in purple and I added a little blue to the hair. I used a black Stabilo pencil to darken the eyes and to give details. The background stamping was created using butterflies and text from Rubber Dance

I hope you enjoyed this post and would love to hear your thoughts.

Take care
