Another girl based on first lesson in LB2015

 Sketch and first layers of skin tone using the technique from lesson one in Life Book 2015.

 Book page for pinafore, few more skin tone layers, acrylic red paint and black permanent marker.

 Antique the pinafore with burnt siena water colour wash and prismacolour pencils, finish skin tone and add eye colour using tombow markers, then add high lights and low lights.

The background is made by stamping snow flakes with versa mark ink pad, then add pan pastel once the ink has dried. Lastly I added some crystal glitter to the pom pom.

 this is the workshop for week 4 of Life book 2015, a fantastic, quick lesson from Patti Ballard, book pages for the background then a coat of clear gesso, pencil drawing sketch.

 added paint, prisma colour pencils and tombow markers

then finally added the words, she was fun to create and quite away from who I draw these days, I like her!
