My workspace :) 

I started Will's eyes & plan on finishing him completely today....here's hoping :D

Here are the colors that I will use on their eyes & skin tones....plus some brown shades that arent in there. Glad I noticed that now! There will be close to 12-13 layers of colored pencil on the each face.

I ALWAYS do the eyes & mouth first....just the way I have done it since I started drawing faces. They are the most fun to me :)

4 layers of color...just getting the base color down, then I move on to just adding color darker/shaded areas of the face.

5 layers...time to take a break!
