Aesthetics Another First Faceup

May 23, 2017

      It's fairly close to what I wanted, but I think I'll go with acrylics rather than pencils next time, less blushing and much paler lips. Probably some way to make his moles more uniform too. What do you guys think?

      He doesn't have lashes or gloss since I'm waiting for the lashes to arrive.

      ...I am, however, very pleased with his nails.

    2. I like his overall look and his nails are lovely. Blushing looks good as well.
      As for the moles, they look very natural in size/slight shape variation and placement especially. Moles are kind of strange because unlike freckles they tend to fall into slight patterns and are not entirely random thus the placement looks nice and very natural. The only thing to consider is that it appears you have painted them in black. In almost all cases, moles are brown. On a lighter skinned individual it will most likely be lighter brown. I have moles all over my face so I'm speaking from mostly experience, partially research.
      If you choose to do the faceup in acrylics next time it could provide some very interesting results. His mouth looks good but I do think the idea of it being less blushed is interesting and will probably work very well. I think it would also look nice if the colors were slightly less pink and instead were closer to his skin tone. It would look nice either way. His eyebrows and eyelashes look good however they appear a little vibrant. Eyebrows tend to be darker than the hair color but not brighter. Choosing a slightly less vibrant shade might be a good idea. His eyebrows are even and I like the way his features flow together. He looks nice and you did a great job :cheer

      TL;DR, Good job! You may want to go for more subtle and natural colors however his features look nice and his moles are very well done.
       
    3. I like his expression! He seems very nice. I would befriend him if I could.

      As Klance said, the moles would look more natural if they were brown instead of black, but that's about it! :D

      Good job on your first face up! I haven't done one, yet xD
       
    4. @KlanceKlanceRevolutn Thank you so much! I agree with everything you say, honestly. I want to go with more peachy tones than pink next time, and a less saturated blonde. The moles are dark brown, but the picture isn't the best quality to see that. I think I do want them a little lighter anyway, though.

      @Marina Roje Thank you! He is a nerdy sweetheart. :XD:
