Blog February '25, A cheerful child's face, always fun to draw.

Beautiful pastel shades and soft color shades that create a beautiful whole of this cute children's face. It is also nice to add that little bit extra, such as the hand and bib here, which adds a little story to your drawing.

As a base for the skin color I use 740.8 Burnt Sienna and 380.8 red Iron Oxide from Pan Pastel in combination with pastel pencils.

Colors such as warm earth, gris violet, dark flesh and light flesh mixed in small amounts with saffron, dark sanguine and terracotta give light and shadows to the face.

The sweater and bib are also based on 380.8 Red Iron Oxide and 470.8 Violet from Pan Pastel. You can achieve depths and highlights by using different nuances of red oxide and violet.

The lace bib receives a light base layer of titanium white on the first layer, where small details are then drawn with Bismuth white from Caran D'ache.

By using a double passe-partout, basic + light pink, you make this cheerful face shine even more.
