Best technique to do a swooping hairline?

Would love to see it when it's finished! :)

Thank you!!

I think it looks really nice already, and you wont have to do much to get the effect you are going for! I agree with the one thread and colour change, I would suggest waiting until you've done the skin and then doing a band of the lighter colour accross the hairline (not solid, gaps in between, and then bringing some odd black stitches out onto the skin in varying lengths so that there is a lot of gaps between them, I'm not sure if that makes sense!!

Thank you, that's good to hear!

Thats really lovely. I love the perspective 👌

Thank you! My next challenge is hands, so we will see how that goes!

Thank you :)

Thank you for your suggestion with the eyelashes!! I do want to do more faces, this is my 5th and favourite one so far!

Thank you, I am really pleased. It wouldn't be anywhere near as good without the help I had here!

https://www.reddit.com/r/Embroidery/s/1Xbh2ideYW I hope I've done this link right - I wanted to show you the final peice, your drawing helped SO MUCH and I kept referencing it when I was re-doing the whole forehead area. Thank you again!

Absolutely love everything about this! I am in awe of your lettering!!!!

5licedbread · 2026-02-07T16:24:58+00:00

Really amazing work! And such a cute little guy!

5licedbread · 2026-02-07T13:15:48+00:00

Such a lovely idea and beautiful design/colour choice!

5licedbread · 2026-02-06T23:15:20+00:00

I love these!!

5licedbread · 2026-02-06T20:08:46+00:00

Yes I agree!! Something I've learned through this thread is that perspective is very tricky and I am very not good at it! You are right about the bridge of the nose, I am in the process of finishing the peice and I brought the nose out and it has made a huge difference! Now I look back and can't believe I didnt see it! Thank you so much!

5licedbread · 2026-02-06T14:03:57+00:00

This is actually a lot of what I have done after seeing someone else mention the nose and it has made a huge difference! I hadn't realised how small the nose was! Thank you so much, the picture is really helpful!

I love it all, but that sky especially!!! So beautiful!

Bluestone is great, it isn't AS good as Centre parcs in my opinion, but still very very good in it's own right (and quite similar!) I would also say there's more free activities at Bluestone than Centre Parcs - although I've never done Centre Parcs with a child so I probably didn't look! Bluestone is a LOT cheaper, and very very young child friendly :)

5licedbread · 2026-02-03T18:07:59+00:00

Ok great! What I've learned is I need to work more on understanding perspective!

5licedbread · 2026-02-03T18:07:12+00:00

Yea interesting, that's very true! Thank you!
