Step 3, female portrait painting

step by step

I was really happy with the way things were looking so I have started to darken in areas that needed it around the eyes and neck. I have also added in details like eyelashes and eyebrows. You can make different small cuts in a piece of paper or frisket film to help with the eyelashes and eyebrows. Carefully line up the cuts and spray LIGHTLY through the paper. Once your happy with the small thin lines you have painted you can then freehand over the top of them to make it look softer and more natural. For the circular part of the eye (iris) I just cut a half moon shape out of paper and LIGHTLY moved it around whilst I painted with the airbrush.
