#1 of the 29 Faces

I want to take part in 29 Faces, which started on February 1st, so I'm a little behind.  I'm going to try to get caught up in the next couple days.  So, get ready to see a bunch of faces for a while.


This was really fun to do.  I used a Sharpie pen and just started making "hair".  I don't think any of my patterns are "official" Zentangle patterns.  They are more like "Zendoodling". My husband wants me to do the other half of the face, but make it male.

I want to keep the original black and white.  I might go to Kinkos to make a good copy, then add some color to it with my Prismacolor pencils.  We'll see.

Peace,

Playing with a Sharpie Pen and a Pencil

I'm trying to practice my shading.  I finally figured out what a tortillion is used for.  They make it so easy to blend the graphite pencil.  A tortillion is just, tightly, rolled paper that comes to a sharp point at the end.  They come in various sizes.  I watched a tutorial once on making them yourself, but they are so inexpensive,I don't know if it would be worth it.

Here are my recent attempts at shading.

I'm pretty pleased with myself, actually.

Peace,

Cyndi
