Face Painting

I have to make a hand drawn/hand painted postcard for a swap I'm in. I tried to do some watercolor landscapes today but they didn't come out very well. Then I tried to draw a rabbit - I couldn't copy the picture worth a darn. I was getting pretty frustrated. But there is one thing that I *can* draw fairly well - faces! So I gave up on the other stuff and fell back on old reliable. So ... here's my postcard.

I drew it in pencil on watercolor paper, then went over the lines with pigma pen. Erased all the pencil lines. Ummm - then I got the paper nice and wet and went at it with the watercolor pencils. When dry I used gel pens for details. Sprayed it with Krylon Workable Fixative when done. I don't know if that was the right thing to use but it should work.
