Faceups Photo request - Old people

I recommend maybe searching around using “elderly” as a keyword. Good luck!

 

I once looked for face ups that were elderly without much luck. I ended up using a very slightly darker shade of the face color, quite watered down, to make wrinkle lines around the eyes and mouth of my doll and it came out pretty well. It looked like shadows. I looked at photos of Dream High wrinkly house elves and the grandmother 'Phairby Flowers' fairy godmother for inspiration.

 

I haven't painted anyone to look like a granny, but I did paint a doll that was meant to be Snape from Harry Potter and gave him some wrinkles. I just used pastels for them. This is such an old faceup ;;

You did a fantastic job blushing them in there. The gradient of shading makes it look like a ton of additive and subtractive modding had to happen to get those contours!

 

I would recommend looking at photos of real elderly people, as well as people cosplaying elderly characters. You'll get a good idea of how the shadows and contours fall on the face, and could replicate that with pastels and watercolor pencils, or even paint for a severe look.

 

Thank you so much! That's such a wonderful complement ;3;
