Creating Estella

This is my Estella face chart.

The first time I practiced my Estella was a practical lesson in which we were asked to create two sides of our character and so I created a side of Estella before meeting her husband were she looks youthful and pretty. I also created a side of Estella after meeting her husband were she has been beaten, has a black eye, and looks tired and thin from stress and lack of sleep.

I really liked the way this turned out and it inspired my final face chart.

Method

- Brush all of the hair using the paddle brush.

- Using a tail comb create a center parting.

-Draw a line with the tail comb, using the ear as a marker. Take the front two sections and section off.

- Create a U shaped section at the back of the head and create a high ponytail. 

- Curl the Hair in the ponytail.

-Twist these curls around the ponytail to create a full bun and pin in place.

- With the lower part of the hair, create ringlet curls in small sections. Face the tongs upward so they can be easily pulled out.

-Pin half of these curls to the ponytail to add fullness. Make sure the ends are still curled for decoration. 

- Split each front section in half creating four sections at the front of the head.

- Going downwards, curl the outer sections in one large curl and pin back to the ponytail.

- Split the two sections into three equal sections, and curl each. Make sure the tong is facing the back of the head and the curls fall forwards. 

- Lightly comb through each side to form them into one big curl.

- Bring the curl back towards the ponytail to create a wave at the side and height on top.

-make the curls transition by pinning a few up from the bottom.
