Today’s prompt is librarian. Librarians are usually avid readers and I thought of drawing someone carrying books but then I thought someone reading a book would be better. I did use a Sktchy reference photo but I took a lot of artistic license; basically, I used the book and winged the rest.

Friendly Faces Day 30
Today’s prompt is sleepy eyes. I felt like going rogue today and not use a reference for my character. I just plopped gouache on the paper and started making a head shape and I sketched features with pencil. Slowly a winter elf emerged. I added the snowflakes at the end. I was thinking of theContinue reading “Friendly Faces Day 30”
Friendly Faces Day 29
Today’s prompt is “tall” so it seemed appropriate to use the giraffe reference photos that I took last week at the Brevard Zoo. The cool thing about this Zoo is that you can feed the giraffes.
Friendly Faces Day 28
Today’s prompt is “culture different from my own” and another artist on Sktchy, Naomi Draw, posted a photo of herself when she was younger, in traditional costume. I chose her photo as a reference but took a little artistic license with the features.
Friendly Faces Day 27
Today’s prompt is “bashful” and I thought Chloe needed a turn since Mack’s portrait was done last week. Chloe doesn’t like to be photographed. As soon as she sees a cell phone she closes her eyes or looks away, lol.

Rick N is a bearded fellow and is the perfect model for today’s prompt, “beard.” Rick has been on Sktchy for many years and has been an amazing resource for when I need to see how to draw an emotion or a pose.

Friendly Faces Day 20
Today’s prompt is uni-brow. I took a little artistic license with this one… This is gouache on stonehenge paper in my handmade sketchbook. Reference photo submitted by Hugo Pinto on Sktchy.
Friendly Faces Day 18
Today’s prompt is toothy grin… I took the photo to show the sketchbook that I have been using for this challenge…
Friendly Face Day 11
Yep, I know I went backwards but there is no prompt for Sundays so I’ll use Sundays as make up days. This is the one I did Friday. The prompt is “long.” Inspiration for this photo came from the Sktchy App.
50 Friendly Faces Day 6
Today’s prompt is “large nose.” This is Stuart Goss on The Sktchy App. I hope he doesn’t mind that I took artistic license with his features, lol.
