Four Retro Girls - Fun With Faces Challenge
These are entries for Christmas art challenge "Festive Fun With Faces" announced by illustrator Charly Clements on Instagram (@charlyclements). 🥰 There were prompts given every day, and the task was to make portraits based on those prompts.
I also added a creative rule for myself here - I decided I'll go time-travel and make a collection of retro girls, each with their own character and mood...
Day 1 prompts:
•pattern,
•messy bun,
•coat.
Here she is, the lovely dark-haired girl in her hygge outfit. 🥰
(Is it only me, or does she look like a mix of Christian Bale and Jennifer Ehle? 😁)
Here I went for 70s-80s. In the background I put a snowflake pattern, which I later changed for a simpler one. Showing a picture from my Instagram for you to see how it looks before and after. Also, in the second version I corrected her hand and face a little.
Day 2 prompts:
•red lipstick,
•gift,
•wavy hair.
Now I travelled to 80s with their big cozy hand-knit sweaters... Again, I think I just couldn't get rid of retro movies' vibes here, so designing this character's face and hairdo I was thinking about "Dirty Dancing" or something like that.
Day 3 prompts:
•star,
•jewellery,
•freckles.
Here I depicted the y2k vibes. Oh, these early 2000s, with their shine, pink, rise of Internet and endless style experiments! 😁 This young lady is ready to party and has prepared her brand new digital camera for unforgettable photos.
Day 4 prompts:
•candy cane,
•rosy cheeks,
•red hair.
Big hi to all "Star Wars" fans! ✨ This retro-themed entry is about a girl who is cosplaying princess Leia - the character made her first appearance in the franchise in 1977. And the famous cinnamon bun hairdo (even though another hairdo goes with this particular outfit) just had to be made with candy canes instead of hairpins of any kind.😁 All because Christmas was right around the corner.🌲🍬
That's all I wanted to share with you today, thanks for stopping by! ^_^
