As one of the Patreons of the British artist Wendy Robinson, The Unexpected Gypsy, we get monthly videos showing us how Wendy creates her art step-by-step.
They're instructive and inspiring, and feel like a cozy visit with The Unexpected Gypsy herself. You can find out more about The Unexpected Gypsy's Patreon, follow this link:

I created this face by following along with Wendy's latest video. She started the process with a loose watercolor sketch.
We added in skin tones and shadows.
Deepened some of the shadows,
and layered on more skin tones.
We let our faces dry, and began adding Prismacolor colored pencils to define the features.
Having the control of a sharpened colored pencil allowed me to fix problems I had with the tip of this imaginary woman's nose.
The Prismacolors were easy to blend.
Creating rich, layered colors, like the complexities of the lips.
And when you're done, you've expressed a part of yourself. You can give your person a name, and ask them if they have any messages to share with you.
I hope you give this process a try!
Happy creating!
