After doing my first face chart I decided to try and improve my skills a little more before I started on my final designs. I chose to do a complimentary colour scheme so the two colours that I used was red and green.
The first thing that I did was to put on the base. Again I used quite a pale tone as I feel like I relate to it better and I can imagine what it would look like more easily. I found that I was able to apply the base a lot easier than the first time as I realised I didn't have to make it look perfect. Of course I tried to make things look as nice as possible but I didn't spend ages trying to create an even tone all over the face. I then added in where the contour and highlight would go. After doing contouring on an actual person I found it easier trying to do it on a face chart as I had a better idea as to where it had to go and how much would be needed. The next thing that I did was to start on the eyes. I placed a small amount of red on the inner corner of the eyes and then a bright green on the outside. I then slowly blended them together so that they merged together to cover the whole eyelid. I added a thin layer of eye liner just to make the eyes pop a little more. You can't see it in the picture but I decided to add some small little details around the eyes in the form of dots. The last thing that I did was to make the lips a crimson colour but darken the edges of the lips so that it fades from dark to light. I also decided to add hair just for fun, however looking at it know I think I have unintentionally created Wonder Woman....
Although I think it has turned out really well and I feel a little more confident in what I am doing.
