Beautiful Faces.....Again!

I just re-watched the Jane Davenport video on drawing faces.  I, originally, watched it a couple years ago.  In the mood to try faces again, I figured that I needed to "brush up".

Here's my most recent.

This is the first one that I tried a couple years ago.  My backgrounds needed a lot of work at that time.

One that I'm working on now. (kind of looks like an alien)

And, a couple pencil drawings that I did on the plane a few weeks ago.

That's it.  My favorite things to use for a face are the Prismacolor Pencils.  They have beautiful colors, blend well, and can make, even a neophyte artist (like myself) look like they know what they are doing.

Peace!

#10 of 29 Faces

Interweave - Cloth, Paper, Scissors, has little PDF art lessons for $1.99.  They are great for learning a new technique or for inspiration.  They usually include a short video or two.  Http://www.interweavestore.com/mixed media.

Today's face was inspired by Jane Davenport's Looking for Drama.  She started out by using, decorative, napkins to collage the base, then worked with, paint pens, gesso, and other bits of paint and pencils.  

I plan to invest in some better paint pens.  Jane uses Montana.  The only one that I have is a white Sharpie that leaves big blobs of watery paint everywhere.

So here's #10.  I need to start thinking about #11 now.

Peace,
