How to overcome an inferiority complex page face

I wanted to do faces on book pages. Since I've been worried about my abilities to do faces I chose the page: How to Overcome an Inferiority Complex. I used pencil, oil pastel and watercolor. I followed an online tutorial by Lynne Hoppe: www.artinstructionblog.com/mixed-media-art-technique…

I did not use the Gouache or the colors she used. I did use the 8B pencil on top of my mechanical pencil line (the confidence builder with a thin layer). I see her influence in this but I am not as loose as she is with color and line. I followed the tutorial loosely doing what I usually do but adding things like the blending of watercolor with the oil pastel which I didn't do well and want to learn. Gouache is still something of a mystery to me and I would like to learn how to use it but when I have something I like the gouache usually covers it up and wrecks it. So I shy away from it. I thought it was good to face my fears and try this. It is not in my courage book though it's in my heart book. My hearts desire is to draw better and I am doing a little bit towards it in limited time and I can see my results showing improvement now. It is heartening that I can make a face.
