3/4 Fairy Face in Marker

 

I recently worked on the forward fairy face in markers. Although I loved working on that one, I realized  her features weren't placed correctly. She was happy to get a new necklace! This time I tried to be more accurate. As in the forward face, this one is from a tutorial by Karen Campbell for Awesome Art School.

Back in 2023, when I joined this art school, I couldn't wait to work on this image. I had never worked on faces and 3/4 was way outside my skills.

                                                                                        


So I took my time, this time, to work on this drawing in my Ohuhu Maker Pad, using a Graphgear 1000 Pentel Pencil. I followed Karen's instructions. I used my new Ohuhu Skin tone Markers and my old Copics. The outlines and details were done with Molotow blackliners and a Posca Pen for white highlights.

Although I still see mistakes, I also see improvement. I'm happy with how this fairy came out!
