From 'Magazine Doodles'.

At first I thought the drawings were in paint but now they actually remind me of make-up, like lip-stick or nail polish. I think it is a really good idea though If I were to do something like this I would be tempted to emphasise the concept of making the pretty girls in the magazine ugly. I don't think that is what Chakrabarti is suggesting though, because the image still has a nice appearance, the model is not ruined. I think that the artist would have used several layers to make this, although having said that the subjects cheek is a bit crinkly, proposing the idea that it was drawn straight on. Whatever medium she used was wet and then dried, causing that bumpy effect.
