Hello everyone and happy Sunday. I'm a little under the weather today unfortunately and I think I'm getting a cold :(. Sigh, oh well. I'm not going to complain though because this is the first time in the season that I'm getting sick (which is really good for me!).
I wanted to share my first pieces from an online class that I started taking a class by one of my favorite artists, Megan K Suarez. She makes a lot of cute and whimsical girl faces. If you like her style I encourage you take her new course, Whimsey Girls Workshop, which is really affordable and your able to keep the video tutorials forever! I really like that because you can go back and watch them again and again. This really gives you time to work at your own pace and really work on developing your style. I love how she uses copics for creating her girls so I was excited that I would be able to see how she does it! I really fell in love with the faces that I created during the 29 Faces Challenge , so I wanted to see if I could adapt her colors and find corresponding ones for brown skin. Here are the results of the first couple.

I used E33, E35 & E37 for the skin and then E09 to add a reddish tint to the cheeks, eyes, and lips. I really want to find some more colors for the cheeks as I feel that they came out a little heavy. If anyone knows of and copics that may have a reddish or orange tone that has some more transparency please let me know!
I always like to try to do things in my own way, but because I wanted to see if I could really understand her approach, the first girl is very much in Megan's style. For the 2nd girl, I began to see if I could adapt it to more of my style of girl, although I still decided to play around with a different nose and mouth.
I am definitely going to be practicing a lot more, but I like my beginning process so far. These are different colors than I've used for my other faces, so I like that I'm going to be able to play around and start to experiment with slightly different shades of brown.
Let me know what you think and feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like to know more about colors I've used. Don't forget that to learn this technique just go here to sign-up for the Whimsey Girls Workshop!
