Friendly Face Day 17

Today’s prompt is square. I sketched a square on my page and built out the features from there. It was a fun exercise.

I joined this challenge to brush up on my gouache skills. Not that I really need it but when I play with a material for a while, creative things happen.

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”

They’ll be characters all right. Lol. This is in my homemadeContinue reading “Friendly Faces #3”

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.

Daily Prompt – Hats

I don’t know if I will be posting these every day but here is my sketch page for today’s prompt – Hats I have a sketch page full of these really pretty hats and I don’t remember why I did them but I was able to use my sketchbook as a reference for these sketches,Continue reading “Daily Prompt – Hats”
