Syromes new face-up
Well it’s been a while and during the last time I posted... well last time Syrome posted... >_>. I have had a few little mishaps some fun things happen and a snake try to kill one of the family dogs. (Odin is alive and well thanks to my quick thinking at the time and the Vets efforts at saving his life.)
Anyway as some of you may not have noticed Syrome was in dire need of a new face up since the last doll meet we went to (RMIT Melbourne city campus) And since my last post he has received his first face-up and I did it ( XD my first ever face up) It was a lot of fun and was a small learning experience for me. But I loved it all the same (I love anything crafty including my dear old dad... X3)
Anyway here are a few pictures of Syrome's new face-up. It’s not as brilliant as I would have liked it to be but I'm proud of it none the less.
My pickings at my own work is this: His eye lids need more shadows and a line I guess... but I think a nice dark brown or grey would have been enough to make him look nicer. I also think his lips need to be darker (say a dark pinky grey) and the lines in his lips need to be more prominent. But that’s just me. I'm just starting out and I think I did ok for my first attempt..
Here’s what I used. I used Rembrandt pastels to blush his face and add some softness to his eye brows. His brows were all done with water colours dark brown at first and then black on top to give depth. I imagined the water colours would soften with the spray atop of them but they didn’t very much X_X. although I didn’t mind this because I actually liked his brows. The eye liner is also water pencil... (I don’t trust myself with a flimsy brush that won’t do what I want V_V but I will have to learn over time to use them. I like his eyelashes because I did the same thing I did with his brows with them. dark brown first and then black atop dark pink for the insides of his eyes and a light pink dusted into the corners of his tear ducks... you can’t see it from these photos and I apologize. I had a lot of fun doing this first face up and I hope some people out there see the good in it and not just the crappyness of a beginner XD.
Thanks for looking.
