Here is my third Friendly Faces sketch. The idea of this challenge is to create characters and I wanted to use gouache for this so these are starting out leaning towards portraits but I know how they’ll look as the challenge goes on, lol. They’ll be characters all right. Lol. This is in my homemadeContinue reading “Friendly Faces #3”

Friendly Faces #2
Here is my “elated” sketch…. Gouache and Caran D’Ache Museum Aquarelle watercolor pencil in a homemade sketchbook on Stonehenge Paper
Friendly Faces
I am doing the 50 Friendly Faces Challenge. This is actually Day 2 and I found out about it today so I’ll double back on the end to do Day 1. Today was mustaches…I am using this challenge to practice my gouache skills. This image from my sketchbook has not been digitally touched up.
Happy Mother’s Day
I wish all the Mom’s out there a healthy and Happy Mother’s Day.

I did this little guy in multiple ways and I was tweaking him up to the last minute because once I really got on the roll, more ideas popped into my head. TheContinue reading “Baby Firefly”
Shoes
Today’s prompt is shoes. When I first sat down to draw shoes, which I have done many times before…I realized that my wardrobe now consisted of various flip flops. I rarely wear shoes anymore except for the few rare evenings when it’s cool here or when I go for my walk. Otherwise I’m holding itContinue reading “Shoes”
