Isabella von Carstein. More views and close-ups
Hi! My new mini. I hope you like it. Well maybe I'll tell a bit how I painted the face of this miniature. First of all to paint a woman face well,at least in my oppinion and I do that, is to search for some inspiration - and we have planty of beutiful faces in the web or newspapers. Here I was inspired by a picture I saw in a newspaper a girl from one fashion show, in tribute to Amy Winehouse. I wanted to achieve dark look by using strong make up like dark red lips, black eyeliner and black eyebrows contrasting with very bright skin tones. As for the face, the base colour was GW Dwarf flesh with small adittion of black. Important is to notice that base color is only seen in shadows, like on the neck. I wanted to have a bright face so on rest of the face you see this colour with added white. Then I was adding more white and a very little dwarf fleshfor each highlights . The final highliths were pure white. Then I added make up, mix of dwarf flesh, blood red and white with more white for highlits on the cheeks. But in my oppinion the most important parts are eyes. And here to achive natural look we must add... eyebrows. You can compare with other models of Isabella and this was the part I was missing mostly. I also accept commisions, just write to me. Cheers, Lan
