face charts.

For my first ever face chart I am really proud of myself. The concept behind a face chart is to create concepts and show what you are thinking to create on the model on paper first. The idea is to use the same make up you wish to use in reality, I found this quite a challenge, I have never used make-up to draw with before and at first I didn't really know how to start, but by the end I found that I actually fine it easier to draw with make-up then I do with normal drawing equipment, I just love how the colours blend and you do make a mistake, its no big deal as they can easily be rubbed away with a normal eraser as long as you are using powders. I found that using oil based products on face charts is a tricky business and is best if you can represent the colour in a different method. I find watercolour pencils a good alternative for the stronger bolder colours that are harder to stick to the paper.
