This is how it started: I originally made an ACEO size of this guy, in a series (you probably remember older posts if you have been here before) SO I decided to make a larger version. I left it in ink for weeks, not feeling it, not sure what to do.
Then the muse visited, and I started to use the colors left over from the windy girl from last post. Just went with no rhyme or reason all around:
At this point this looks like you better get the gesso XoD but is is actually a nice undercoat, which I do usually darker, but see the results:
His skin looks very realistic, but I wanted to leave some of the first layer showing. I am very happy with the results. But he doesn't want to hear about it... he's in denial (^_^)
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Ayala. Thank you for sharing the process I enjoyed see it. The end result is fantastic.
I really love the pinks peeking through... another winner Martha :)
Interesting face (in other words I really like it!!) He looks like a newborn god from an ancient mythology. Oh, thank-you so much for fixing up the link situation on the 29 faces page.
