First ever faceup!

That’s absolutely amazing!! Super impressive for your first faceup!

 

That's a great first face up!

 

The purple and gold combination looks so nice. Good job!

 

I love the colours!! Also can I ask what eyelashes you used? They fit so well!

 

Amazing job for a first time! Something id suggest is having your pencil tips be slightly sharpend with a knife to have a finer point!
For your paint i suggest very thin layers wich you can build ontop of eachother
And then something personal, id ass some blushing on the cheeks

 

I am glad you found the eyelash application so easy. I hope you never feel differently I hate applying them so much that I avoid it at ridiculous lengths. I truly think some people must have a knack for it but not me.
It's hard for me to offer critique without knowing about what you might be working towards look wise, but I will say, you've done a wonderful job with your first, and I really enjoy the playful color combos. In my opinion the best advice is keep having fun and think up all sorts of wild ideas to attempt and that is the best aid in practicing and learning more.

 

Hmm, looks good. Like pointed out, getting very sharp points to your pencils would leave cleaner lines. What kind of brushes did you use for the acrylic? Some miniature or fine line art, like really tiny ones, are good for doll faces

 

I love it, it's so bright. As a suggestion, for the acrylic, have you considered doing an underpaint/draw of pale brown in watercolor pencil to outline the shapes you want? I'm terrible at getting paint to do what I want, so I've always found having an underlayer of line drawing helps me get detail right. Also maybe finer brushes? I think the gold detail on the nose and cheek are a very nice touch, and refining them into something with sharper edges would add to the effect.

On a strictly personal preference level, I'd suggest removing the gold dots under the eye from the right-hand side - let the cheek detail carry the visual weight on that side, and use the dots on the other side as a a counterbalance. The asymmetry is a big strength on this face-up, and I think leaning in would only enhance that. The eyebrows I think might look better with a dark underlayer. An auburn or mid-tone brown, with gold on top so the underlayer shows through. That's all up to your choice, though, my tastes don't necessarily match yours.

It's lovely, and you should be very proud of it.
