Nearly there ..

Thought I'd give another try at making a head for the walking gal. At the rate I'm making heads for this thing she could have been a multi-headed monster for a second-rate sci-fi movie.

On first glance this head isn't bad at all - but then if you look again you can see the lips are crooked and the eyes aren't centered on the nose. But, hey, at least I'm getting closer. Sigh. I've changed the way I'm shaping the eyes - more of a straight line for the bottom and more of an arch for the upper eye. Way more of a character face - I like it. Maybe I'm working towards a Japanese Anime look! Medium: watercolor pencil on wet fabric for shading, watercolor pencil (dry) for eyes, gel pen for white of eye, prismacolor pencil for eyeshadow and lips. Pigma pen for detail work.

I think you may be too critical of your work...her face has a beautiful glow (is that the watercolour pencils? I really like it!) and the only reason I notice the mouth is a) because you mentioned it and b) the brown pigma pen emphasizes it. This head does not deserve the morgue!

Judi, she's charming! The mouths on my faces are crooked more often than not! LOL!
I've learned to love them that way!

Judy:
Your face is wonderful. I had a ceramic teacher and she always said to us, "God doesnt make anything perfect" Think about it no two flowers are alike.
I would have never noticed the flaws you pointed out if you hadn't said anything. Great work for a Talanted Lady !
