SUMMARY:Make sure to stamp your Facial Features with a WA-

TERPROOF / PERMANENT DYE-INKPAD ... use black

for bold lines if you want to use the stamped images

as they are, use a light color like a light grey or

yellow if you want to go in with a pen later to tweak

your Facial Features.

Keep those Pigment Inkpads / Distress Inkpads and

Non-permanent Inkpads for later to use in your

Backgrounds etc.

Permanent / Waterproof Dye-Inkpads are a MUST HAVE for stamping your Faces ...

Non-permanent Dye-Inkpads or Pigment Inkpads are fun for Backgrounds etc. but NOT for stamping your Facial Features since they will smear/blend ...

I’d suggest getting some “Archival” Inkpads by Ranger or “StazOn” Inkpads by Tsukineko for best results and a completely waterproof and faderesistant print ...


SUPPLIES USED:• Black Inkpad (permanent - Archival Ink by Ranger)

• our FACEcinating Girls Clearstamps

• an Acrylic Block

• a Pencil

• an Eraser

First draw a horizontal line and stamp your first Eye on that line. Next stamp your second Eye on the same line - approx. leaving 3/4 to 1 eye space between the eyes. Now draw an Oval shape which implies your Head - make sure the Eye-Line is approx. the Middle of your Oval Shape. Next draw another horizontal line splitting the bottom half of your oval into half again (that’s the line where your Nose goes) and then yet another horizontal line splitting the bottom quarter into half again (that’s the line where your lips go).

PS: When sketching in your helping lines make sure you use an erasable Pencil!

SIDENOTES:Practive and play with different Variations. Play with the Angle you place your Eyes in, play with proportions making some

spaces smaller or larger - this way you‘ll get a feeling for what looks good and you‘ll make the faces more of your own. The

Guidelines are only for orientations sake - each and every Face is different (that‘s what is so interesting and fun about doing

Faces) - and especially when doing whimsical Faces you can even go far beyond those „standards“ - so play, have fun and

dare to create something a little different. The most interesting faces are the ones, which are not 100% realistic and symme-

trical.


SUMMARY:Now that you have stampes your Facial Features finish

off the Girl and make them your own with adding

the shape of the head to it as well as Hair. Use your

sketched Oval as a Guideline for the final shape of

your head. Play with thin lines of pencil and shape &

re-shape until you like the result - then go in with a

permanent pen in the end to trace your final outlines.

SUPPLIES USED:• a Pencil (make sure it‘s an erasable pencil)

• a black permanent Pen with a fine tip

SIDENOTES:Play with different Shapes for the Head and with

different Hairstyles, try Hats and Flowers in the Hair, try

short Hair, long Hair, Curls, Updos etc. - esp. the Hair will

make your Girls absolutely special and will change SO

MUCH about the final piece. You could use the exact

same Face (like we do in week 2) with different Hairsty-

les and you‘ll get a completely different look!

For inspiration just browse Pinterest or Google Images

for Hairstyles / Hairdos etc.!


SUMMARY:Let‘s take our Faces one step further. You don‘t

have to use the Stamped images as they are, but

you can perzonalize them even more and make

them completely your own with only using your

stamped images as Guidelines for your own Sket-

ches.

Stamp your Facial Features the way we learned it

but stamp them with a very light inkpad. This way

you can go in with a pencil or pen now and com-

pletely personalize them - making the eyes look

into another direction, making the nose smaller or

the lips larger ... endless possibilities.

SUPPLIES USED:• a light colored permanent Inkpad (light grey or

yellow or light blue etc.)

• a Pencil (make sure it‘s an erasable pencil)


I put lots of time, heart and effort into this Class, into the Videos and the PDF Files and tried to offer it for a reasonable price. Please do NOT share them with anybody - thanks!!!

SUMMARY:Creating dimension in a Face isn‘t about using different

Colors (well - at least not in first place) but about different

hues of Colors - about light areas (Highlights) and dark areas

(Shadows) and of course the midtones.

This is practices best with sticking to just one Color and wor-

king your way with it. Put in shadows first - blent them to the

midtones and leave the highlights white / light - or maybe

add some white paint later on to lighten up the highlight-

parts again.

Take a look at MakeUp-Tutorials and/or Fashion Photographs

with lots of Contrast to learn to SEE where Light & Shadow

sits.

SUPPLIES USED:• Faber Castell Gelatos (just one colour - pick your favourite)

• a Babywipe / slightly wet cloth

SIDENOTES:If you don‘t have Faber Castell Gelatos handy you can also

practice this with any other type of medium which is blen-

dable - like for axample other brands watersoluble Crayons

(Neocolor II), Watercolors, Colored Pencils etc.

Keep the „Triangle of Light“ in Mind - this gives you a

very rough idea where the highlights in a face are.

(Chin - Nose - Cheeks - Forehead)


PRINT & PRACTICEYou can print that one out and practice some shading on it - so you don’t have to sketch out new girls over and over again just for the sake of practicing your shading.(even though I WANT you to practice the stamping & sketching part as well ;)
