Experimenting with designing -

Here was my very first design experimentation done on a class member.

For the eyes i have chosen two main colors - black and gold. I have placed gold into the tear duct of the eye and around the whole of the lid of the eye. I have then went onto shading the black into the outer corner and crease to give of a much more dramatic effect. Lastly i have filled in the eyebrows to help define the eyes and bring out the black from the shading. If i were to do this design for my final assessment i would include some eye catching bold black lace lashes to draw attention to the eyes therefore making my design much more contemporary.

Within this design i decided to use the Elizabethan pale face of the white lead and vinegar however using skin base and the white paint from the aqua pallet to create the pale base. For the cheeks i have added a coral coloured blush on the cheek bones forming a circular shape onto the cheeks.
