Drawing a face looking to the side. Day 13 of 29 faces

Drawing a face looking to the side. Kind of 3/4 and with the eyes to the side.
She turned up so funny! The expression on her faces is like... "green was not such a good idea after all" lol
I like making my faces looking to the front,  but definitely, some faces say much when looking to the side.

"Going green" does not necessarily involve hair.

Painting darker skin tones. Day 11 od 29 faces

I'm painting darker skin tones today. I am very happy with this face!
I used umber, ochre, red, blue and sienna and pink.  Since the size is so tiny, it was barely drops of watercolor or not even that... more like tiny brush tips.
I didn't want to paint a background because I liked the face so much ;o)

Drawing a face looking up. Day 10 of 29 faces

Drawing a face looking up. This to me is one of the trickiest angles for a face!
I could use more practicing ;o) This is also done in a 2x2 inches watercolor paper.
Basically I have all the elements placed up high in the head, show the bottom of the jaw and neck and the shadowing helps.
Since I am avoiding too many details, the less lines the better, and it still gives an impression of the looking-up angle.

Watercolor in 2x2 inches size. What size are you working on?
My husband said this neck angle is impossible... I said I am having fun!
It is called whimsical for a reason, right? ;o)

Are you keeping up? I hope so!

Face 5 of 29 faces

One thing about working in small scale: You finish rather quickly! lol
I am not worried about perfection so running colors are ok, it is part of the watercolor fun.

Face 4 of 29 faces, more watercolors

I am having fun with these tiny faces! Watercolor and ink. I might seal them with something, because watercolors will always tend to run if wet again!

face 25 made with water soluble crayons

OK. I have to confess I do not like some qualities of the water soluble crayons. Why? Because I am one of those people that has to come back later to keep adding to a painting, and being so used to acrylics (or dry oils for that matter!) I do not expect paint to move on me (read: mess) lol
But on the other hand, there are now such wonderful colors! So basically, I am not new to water soluble wax pastels... but lets say I am not too absorbed with them. At least for now (°‿~ ) I suppose I can get a sticky note remind me to spray the piece when I'm done playing...

The other crayons that drive me a bit nuts are the oil pastels. I like my work to dry properly and not need a glass to protect it.... I know you can set it somehow, but I think we get used to the behavior of a medium and not too much with other kinds.
I know people that don't like acrylics... it takes every kind, right?

 OMG... 3 more faces and I'm done!! Are you keeping up?
