I used an airbrush for the first time on these pieces. Id screwed around with the airbrush before but this was the first attempt of actually painting with it. First made a stencil of the original sketch then cut around it and cut out the eyes, cheek area and some small areas around the teeth.After that i just slowly and lightly worked in the shading and built up the darker areas with increased amounts of paint running through the brush.
With this piece I did the same as the previous but applied grey and white coats over the top to build up tone and highlights.
Amazing, really effective.
