…I ended up starting Jareth's faceup tonight with Prismacolor colored pencils directly on unsealed resin.
Naturally, the earth crashed into the sun, ending life as we know it. Also, this happened:
That's black PC935 overlaid with dark umber PC947 for the eyebrows, black PC935 for the lashes and peach PC939 for the mouth.
I'm not done yet. I need to refine the eyeliner, especially at the outer edges and the bottom. I should throw in a little pink in the inner corners of the eyes, add some color to the top lip and darken the smiley edges of the mouth. I also need to add some shadows under his eyes. I also need to get some more paint remover because the alcohol does not corrode the Prismacolor as quickly as my [defunct] paint remover does.
Jareth is never getting one of those tedious, layered, subtle, gauzy faceups. No, that would not do for him because he's a caricature. He's anything but subtle. He just needs a simple, rough, lively enhancement of his already very expressive sculpt. Fortunately, I excel at sketchy, half-assed faceups. I'm not gonna even seal his, as it's easy enough to touch up.
Stay tuned as the Desecration of Resin continues.

Oh, I’m sure the people who would shriek at the idea of pencils on resin have already passed out from shock at the style of sculpt itself…
I like it! He looks…impish… And the lighting in the photo really brings out the shapes of the sculpt.
In my next entry, I’ll provide a fainting couch. :p
Love the way it’s coming together! The eyeliner works for him soooo hard. 😀
