First Attempt at a Realistic Face-up (x-posted)

Postby Resu » Mon Aug 01, 2011 12:59 pm

This is only the third time I've used pastels on the face-up for a 1/6th head. I did a basic blushing over the eyes, cheek, temples, and lips. On top of that, I tried laying out the base for the eyebrows with pastels, too. That was freaking hard to do, so I was surprised it turned out so well. XD

Kind of hard to catch on the camera, but there are individual strands of hair painted into her eyebrows.

I discovered that taking frequent breaks while doing the face-up seems to reduce how shaky my hands were, so that was something interesting.

Image

Overall, I'm having mixed feelings about the results. It turned out really nice, but not quite what I had in mind. That's my fault, though, because I picked the wrong sculpt as my base. Should've gone with the W-01 instead. I'll still root her and give her a chance to grow on me. :lol:

I think it turned out really good. I like the soften look of the eye brows. I am amazed at how well it did turn out using pastels with how small the head is. :D

Less is more when you're using pastels on a small scale like that. Then, after the pastels are applied, give it a dry blow to remove any loose dust + brush the face with a big poofy clean brush for good measure. I pretty much use the same brushes that I use for blushing the larger scales.
