Morning! today we are showcasing the new manly face stamps and mixed media templates over on the Paperbabe Stamps blog today...
Are you ready for a couple of arty samples...
This would be a great journal page, I thought it was about time I used some gelli prints that I had created a while ago...
I followed the steps to draw the head, torso and hairstyle, I used a black posca pen so I could see the lines on this busy paper.
I stamped his facial features with black ink, the eye layers in a blue and green ink and then coloured the image with coloured pencils, there's a mix of blue, black, red and lots of white to burnish and highlight. The pencils helped to keep the gelli print texture.
To make him pop from the busy background I have used a copic marker to give a shadow around him, then finished off with some inking through a stencil and stamped the sentiment.
This really was an experiment, and although I do like the finish and technique, it just needs a bit more work. But I think this would make a great quick arty manly card. I added interest with Spritz & speckles and birthday wishes stamp sets.
It's very close to doodling just lots of cross hatch lines, I've mixed up the colours all over the face. It really was a very quick card to put together, the fine pens are Derwent Graphik, I love their range.
maybe pop by my fellow Team blogs and check out their handsome men projects...
Thank you very much for stopping by and I hope you will return tomorrow to do it all again but smaller!!!
Enjoy a wonderfully creative day!
