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 ;)
