I got back to work on the Crash Test Daughter today. Decided to start giving her a face. I wanted to use watercolor pencil on her but it didn't seem to want to lay down over the fabric paint I used as the base layer. So I switched to my old stand-by, gel pens.
Actually, gel pens, colored pencils, and pigma pens. They seem to be what I turn to more than any other medium. I did her iris and pupil with gel pens and detailed them with pigma pens. Her lips were done with Prismacolor pencils, same with the eyelids. I didn't do much shading since I put that big old bruise around one eye. Don't want to overwhelm the face with too much color! After the hair and everything is done I think I'm going to give her false eyelashes. She looks funny without any right now. I'm pretty pleased with how she's turning out. Next up - fabric selection for her outfit!
No, no, no! Clothes? If she is wearing CLOTHES, and the accident was her FAULT, she'll get ticketed. But, see - if you leave her as IS, any policeman worth his doughnuts will take one look at her nice, shapely bruised body and let her off the hook. Oh, what a bad and devious creature your friend in H-town is! (I think your CTD's face is WONDERFUL! You made her look REAL! She sort of resembles YOU. Of course, she IS cut off at the hips - heeheehee!)
