More Deb Weiers method: Pencil squiggles, Daler Rowney ink-wash, Uniball pen drawing, and then "decor" made with Posca pens, gesso, watercolors, and India ink. I didn't see anything I wanted to collage on here, so I got funky with her hair instead, just for a point of interest, and gave her a stripey shirt too. I was planning on a black background like the other one, but I didn't want to cover up all the pretty colors, so...no black.
I'm not completely happy with her glasses—they were clear, so you could actually kind of see her eyebrows through them, but it was hard to convey that with the gesso I used to paint them, so it doesn't quite translate. But the best feature of her face was that arched eyebrow on her mug shot, so I had to put it in. Also, her nose is way too long, but I think it contributes to the final effect, so...pfht!
