Lady In Red Polkadot

In a small bowl, put small amount of Reeves Watercolor and sufficient amount of water to create a light grayish color. 

Note: We won't be using any pencil on  this illustration as we want as freely, flowy illustration.

Draw the eyebrow on the upper part in the Canson Watercolor Paper. Then, the eyes without the eye wing. Next, do the nose holes, mouth, shape of the face, and neck. Let it dry.

For the hair, start inches away from upper of the brows to create forehead. Start at the center, then going down but needs to make the face visible. Just freely create big, wavy or thin hair strands. Let it dry.

Add more Reeves Watercolor Ivory Black on the water for a darker gray color. 

For the hair, top it with the darker shade with big, bold, wavy hair strands. Let id dry.

Add more Reeves Watercolor Ivory Black on the water to pop ivory black color. 

For the eyes, tap in the iris of the eyes and slightly create a dot for the pupil. Then, create eye wings to be bold and should pop (which is the motive).

In separate small bowl, water and Reeves Watercolor Brilliant Red. On the neckline, create a unsymmetrical line to have that smallest ruffles. Then, create dots for additional details. Let it dry.

Add more Reeves watercolor Brilliant Red in the mixture for a darker shade.  

Then, top the neckline for a Brilliant Red effect. Also, need to create pleats and top the dots with the darker shade. After, top it with Reeves Watercolor Crimson to highlight some details.
