This is another drawing I did for art class last week. I mapped it out based on our in-class model and then did the color in about two hours without a model. It was done very quickly overall just to get the assignment done. The placement and proportion of the features are pretty off. All the facial features are too small, and the ears are too high for starters. But I liked the color well enough to put it here. When I was presenting, someone in class pointed out that it looks like she's just walked away from a fight. They're not wrong. I tried to smooth out some of the reds and purples with other colors, but she still looks kind of beat up.
This was done in colored pencils. I am now the proud owner of skin tone and regular color sets of pencils. What I'm most proud of about this piece are the eyes, lips, and highlights. You'll notice that the highlights of the eyes are pointed in the wrong direction, but other than that I think the eyes look really good. Mapping out all of the highlights on the face beforehand really helped. I could have darkened her left eye a little more, since it's in shadow.
So overall, weird piece, but I'm happy with parts of it. God's will be done.
