This girl was inspired by all the fabulous graffiti looking girls that Dina Wakley has been doing lately. While this is wild for me, Dina manages to be even more free - letting more of the under paint show through. With time, and a bit more courage, I will be able to do that too!
Started out with random ink splats spread out by a straw (you can definitely get kinda dizzy doing this) and then I quickly sketched a face on top with markers and charcoal pencil (you may wish to add a setting spray at this point so you don't smear your charcoal from here to forever!)
Thin layers of paint, Copic Markers and a snazzy book quote finished her up.
Check out all the amazing faces this month at Ayala Art!

Love this. Thanks for sharing the process.
I love this portrait, as well as the graffiti-esque techniques! I will definitely have to try blowing paint dribbles thru a straw!
SOOOOOOOOO awesome!!!
Love how you have the layers hinting through on her face and in her hair! Happy PPF!
She is wonderful -
i like the texture created by the ink splats. and the words are perfect.
great effect with the layers just peeping through... it adds a lot of depth and interest...xx
Lots of creative expression here ~ terrific! ~ (A Creative Harbor)
Love this! All the lines and layers are like the story of her life and who she is.
Fantastic, I love the marks you can still see through her. Great work! I will go check out Dina Wakely's website. Sounds very inspiring!! I love charcoal.
