Colored Pencil (September/October 2013)

I worked on the face a little more.  I started to add a background.  Adding a background is optional as sometimes they look great with just the color of the paper.  The background would need more 'shaping', but it's a start.

First I drew the values on the face with  sienna brown and the clothes with true blue.  Then I melted the color with Goo Gone Gel (it's orange).  I started adding color - indigo, red, yellow and melted again.  The next step is to add the finishing color and value.
