Broken face

I was working on a new scroll and I really messed up on a face:


I need to let it dry and then scrape her face off and try again. Or maybe have her hold a fan in front of her face.

I let the paint dry for a couple of days and then carefully scraped away the top layer of the paper along with the paint. I then sanded the area and smoothed it down with a stone. I then re-penciled and inked in the lines of the face and re-painted it.


I'm still not happy with the results, but the lady now looks less like a neanderthal with a uni-brow. I had also messed up the "windows" above the ladies's heads, but I didn't feel like fixing them.
