Some first tries...

I am a total noob at face painting(about 2 months) but am already addicted. I don't have much paint or great brushes yet but I am working with what I have. I would love some constructive criticism from the awesome artists on here!!! I am having issues posting pics atm so here is a link to my gallery. Please let me know what you think.

I think for just beginning ... it's awesome work!

I think you have a great base all your designs. You butterflies are excellent.

Try a little bit more white to make the design pop a little more. A swirl around the body or attenea.

I only just started getting a handle of my skulls. I took a nice long look at the wolfe brothers skull.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comments!!! I def will be practicing as much as possible, it's hard not to because I truly enjoy face painting. I really need to focus on my brush strokes and techniques. Learning how to apply the right amount of pressure at the right time, etc. I use my thighs alot for practicing. Sometimes I fall asleep before I wash the paint off and end up with paint everywhere. LOL! I look foward to attending a few classes because I think they would be very beneficial.

Thank you!!! Hearing such positive remarks gives me the inspiration to keep going. I would be happy to become half as good as all the pros around here. I am so glad I found the forum.

Very awesome work so far! The only thing I notice is that your linework isn't very fluid yet (the lines are very very precise, and seems like they took a long time), but that will come with lots of practice. Good luck, you're off to a great start!!

Great job! Are you doing birthday gigs, yet? You should be!

I'm also a noob But practice makes perfect right? Amazing job so far!

Thanks for the reply! I haven't done any parties yet due to the fact I need to work on my speed and linework.

Thanks everyone for checking out my pics and for their comment!!!

Very nice!

I especially like the orange/yellow butterflys with the way you've outlined and used black and white.

[b]wow, im a newbie, and my pics dont look nothing like urs!
i also keep going sleep with paint on and waking up to colourful cushions/bed!!! hahah x keep up the good work!

I agree... when the pressure is on you will find yourself picking up the speed. Seeing as you started this thread around 6 weeks ago... wondering if you have starting working professionally yet, ie. had a paid gig?
