my second butterfly

This is my second shot at the butterfly today april 12. I think it is much better. I used a tip from Perry noia to keep my paint wet and my sponge dry. The paint came out much brighter! I still need to work on making the top of the butterfly longer.




What do you think!!!!
This is the first butterfly for those of you who didnt see it posted april 10.

I like it! Great colors & the linework is good.
A little advice is to reduce the size of the wings. Kids will smudge it if it's too low on the face. I try to have my butterfly stop at or just below the cheekbone. I then take all the lines & pint them at the tear duct.
Hope this heps! Yours is still much better than my soggy drippy butterflies I started with

I can see the difference, the colors are nice and bright and the blending is really good.
Ditto to what Linda said about the lines.

I agree with linda and maggie's advice. Otherwise Great progress!

Very nice! See, snazaroo isn't so bad once you learn to work with it.... It just isn't as bright on the first try, there's a bit of a learning curve. And you're curving faster than me now because it took me almost two years of painting to get the paint more bright and opaque.

awesome tips. Yes, I will be workin on "shrinking my butterfly"! I notice it is taking up most of my face and makes it look a bit odd... I will keep plugging away!

Great improvement!!!

Awesome progress!
You might trya little white highlight on the black lines, especially the butterfly body and antennae.

Much better!

I love how you can get such great support on here..everyone ...YOU ROCK.... great second butterfly...your gonna have it down in no time.

White edged butterflies look great on darker skin. You'll love how they POP!
