 Okay, so we're here with another episode of the four faces journal the four faces For those that don't know is a stencil In my Etsy shop that I've created as a guide for making faces in your art journals. It's not a very big stencil I do have larger faces in my Etsy shop larger face stencils that could be used in a similar fashion This one was purposefully created for smaller journals, which I love to work in If the demand is high enough at some point I may make these in a larger size, but right now I already have large faces I'll link my Etsy shop in the description below Anyway, I have a bunch of these stencils with four designs on them And they're created so that you get hopefully more bang for your buck But also so that you can cut them apart I like to take some of my art supplies with me traveling among other things and I find that if I have smaller Stencils they're easier to pack. I also enjoy working on small in small journals So I find that the little stencils are work great in that We've already done in episode one. We did this one and this one and Then in episode two we did this one Which I almost messed up and then now we're going to do another one So I have this idea of experimenting with one of the spaces stencils a white crayon and Some paint maybe molding paste. I don't know yet. I have it here I don't know. Let's see what happens. So first. I think I'm going to put my reading glasses on and then I'm going to color in the stencil with the white crayon in All the spaces. I'm gonna kind of be heavy-handed with the crayon. I've got my Piece of acrylic underneath the page to give it some stability This is it, you know, just a kid's crayon. It's nothing nothing special When you do use waxy things on your stencils, that's probably the one time I'm going to tell you that you need to clean your stencil I'm not great about cleaning my stencils like ever if you look at my stencil collection It's pretty grungy unless I've been using waxy things or mediums on my stencils Because it clogs up the bits of your stencils. So there we go Okay, so now I'm going to get my little brush in Brush off the excess. I don't know how well that worked. I guess we'll find out So I'm going to get a little tiny dish here that I've got sitting next to me and some paint What color do I want to use? Think I'm going to use this one which is deck by deck of works called see aqua Why I don't know just because it's there Get a little bit of that Some water It's a craft paint. So it shouldn't take too much to water it down. It's a not a heavy body It's a thinner paint to begin with so But I want something that's sort of inky ish I have no idea if this is going to work I haven't experimented with this before but the theory behind it is that the waxy parts Should stay white or fairly white and where the paint goes will get absorbed into the paper in theory We'll find out if it doesn't work. We'll try something else baby white I don't want to rub too much because I don't want to rub the wax off necessarily at least not at the moment So we want to dry this Whoops, and it turned the power on hold on The wax is sort of melted into the page like embossing powder, which is actually kind of cool Where's that white crayon? So the stencils are intended to be used as a guide as I've said before Suggestion of where to put your features on your faces For those of you who are nervous about doing faces or are unfamiliar with the process of doing faces This is to give you Some guidance We are going to take our pilot varsity pen again, which we've used before It's one of my favorite sketching pens I like to suggest my shapes more than Be too realistic about things. That's not my style It doesn't make me happy to do super realism or anything and to be honest, I'm not very good at it So take the brush actually this time. I think I'm going to take a smaller brush Yeah, here's one of the smaller point on it This is the pilot varsity is water soluble Remember, we've got some of that wax on there too. So it's not going to Take the ink Zoom in so you can see what I mean It's bubbling up where the wax is at and where it's just raw paper It's soaking in Okay, I don't know where the camera left off. No idea, but I have using this colored mechanical pencil by pilot In a dark violet color By the way, my camera ran out of battery power. So I'm adding this to the places where The ink from the pilot varsity pen added some shadow. I'm adding some of this ink some of this purple pencil Okay, and then try My uniball signal. I have a love-hate relationship with the uniball signal Just like the big pen. It seems to be working at the moment. Okay Now the uniball signal is gonna not want to write over the wax So it's going to skip Where it's waxy from either the purple pencil or the crayon But I'm just using it to help me With some of the highlights. I like that. So there you go. There's another face in our four faces journal We're gonna keep going and I think next we might try some collage So stay tuned. I hope you're enjoying the series and I hope you're enjoying making faces with me And we'll see what we can get up to next if there are any materials Or techniques you want me to try in here making faces with or without the stencils. Let me know And um, we'll work on that. All right. That's it for today Don't forget to check out the video description for any relevant links including my social media My happy mail address where to get your own stencils from my collection And all of that stuff Check it out. Leave any questions comments or concerns down below And um and or suggestions for techniques you'd like to work on on faces And uh, that's it for today. Go out and have a great day. Do something nice for yourself because you deserve it And I'll see you later. Bye guys
