I used pencil to sketch the face and shading, then shaded over the face again using different colored pencils, the hair and background are a combination of golden fluid acrylics, pearlex, marker, stamps and ranger distress inkpads, a little white gel pen in the eye.

The butterfly is a sticker. It's not finished yet.

This is actually a journal entry I'm doing for an online workshop I'm taking and I'm having so much fun with journaling!

Also, this is the first time I've used a moleskine journal and I love it, despite it's steep price point, it accepts all of the media I used so well, without the paper buckling or wrinkling.

I'm just learning how to do faces, and of course it's not supposed to be realistic looking but I'm not in love with her nose...have to practice some more!
