Friendly Face Day 12

Day 12? Yup. Day 11 is complete but I was too exhausted to post yesterday. John and I ran out to do a few errands and I had a mishap where I gave my rib cage a good accidental whack because of my flip flops, which pretty much fouled the rest of my day. IContinue reading “Friendly Face Day 12”

50 Friendly Faces Day 8

Today’s prompt is “up do.” This was sketched with pencil and gouache in my homemade sketchbook on Stonehenge paper. This hasn’t been touched up digitally and the reference photo came from the Sktchy app.

50 friendly faces Day 7

Today’s prompt is Vintage.

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.

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.

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”

Square Flowers

I love working in Square sketchbooks. This one is actually a square Moleskine I found somewhere. I don’t remember where I purchased it. The paper isn’t the best for wet media so I only use the one side but that’s ok because I have been able to do some surprising projects in it, most ofContinue reading “Square Flowers”
