29 faces - 7, 8 and 9



Busy, busy here so all I've managed is a few pencil sketches. I suppose its all practice but I would have liked to have a bit more time to do some painted faces.
The faces at the top were done after watching a tutorial from Tam at willowing.org and are a lot of fun because they can look childlike and naive and not at all realistic. The two bottom ones are meant to look a little more realistic than they do but lets just pretend that I was aiming for delicate, narrow boned faery-like creatures, ok?

I am very much enjoying this 29 Faces Challenge but it does add a tad of stress to my life - I mean, I do want to do art every day but when other tasks arise it poses just a teeny quandary……how long can I leave the tasks that must be done for the one single 'task' I want to do??!!

Have a look at some of the other blogs in the challenge, there are just so many fabulous artists hiding out there!

  1. I haven't had much chance to read blogs for a while, Evie but I am so glad to come back and find you still drawing. I have taken up drawing again too , started carrying a little note book and a black pen and whenever doing school pickups etc I sketch.... can't believe how relaxing it is going back to drawing. You are brave doing the 29 faces challenge though!

  3. lovely to see your sketches.
    I can see Tam's influence in your top piece.
    yes art each day is a commitment. It is always wonderful to do this challenge and always a bit more time when it is over, for other things. ;-)
