First Attempt at a Realistic Face-up (x-posted)
Posted: Mon Aug 01, 2011 12:59 pmThis 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.
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.
