Weird and Wonky .....must be the weekend :D

Well, you know how I'm always banging on about Amy McDonald and her free classes....other lovely and talented artists have been adding their own free classes to her ning group Flutterbye. Yesterday I watched Russty Brazil make "Weird and Wonky" characters, and this is the result :D

It is also day 4 of Ayala's 29 Faces challenge, and I am trying to use a different style each day(hope there are 29 styles of portraiture out there....)

1# plastered black then white acrylic paint on to page...
2# stared at page trying to visualise an image...
3# noticed page was staring back...
and highlighted eye that was staring back. I now had my starting point lol.

4# Make funny faces :P...
5# add unrealistic colour combi(actually liked this bit loads)...
6# build up detail...
7# re draw lines and add finer details...(love those earings)
8# fill in background...
9# add top layer of detail with white acrylic and gold gel pen :D
and I LUUUUURVE these funky dudes :D
I wonder what else I can find on that ning page? :D XXX
