A work in Progress

This is a spread that I have just put something down over a long time.

I really don't care to draw over such businesses. I have a hard time seeing my drawn lines. So I drew the face on tissue paper. In doing this I found it was easier to get the face symmetrical by folding the tissue paper over and trace the features from the other side.

Before gluing on the page I brushed water around the image. This made it very easy to tear the excess away. 

After it had dried, I used color pencils on the face and paint on the back ground.

I think she isn't finished yet. But I am thrilled with the beginning.

Thanks for looking!
