30 Faces 30 Days

February 5, 2018

We all know about pushing ourselves, getting out of our comfort zone, blah, blah, blah.  There is a reason for the comfort zone, ITS COMFORTABLE!!  But I do want to keep evolving as an artist so I have signed up for Sktchy 30 day face challenge.  I don't enjoy drawing faces.  I don't know why,  It's like I don't want someone staring at me while I am working.  But lately I have found real love for these faces I create.  Like I want to sit down and have tea with them.

This was done from a newspaper clipping.  I never try to make faces look like exact portraits.  I want a jumping point to make my own creation.  This was done with oil pastel and pencil on watercolor paper.  I used a blending stump to take out some of the watercolor paper texture in the pastel.  I outlined the drawing with pencil.  The eyes were done with watercolor pencils so I could get the crisp edges on the pupils.

It's a start!  I can see a lot of things I don't like but at the same time I see a lot of things I do like.  I feel like she just looked up from a book she is reading.  We shall see what this month of face drawing will bring!
