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

  3. There's such a gentle, dreamy look in her eyes - and I love that little ringlet of hair. Great to see how you built the layers of shading, though I have to say I was already sold at the very first stage you shared! Beautiful work.
