29 Faces Challenge: Face #8

Well, she's not quite complete yet, I still have work to do on the background.  Her face was done with prismacolor pencils and the shirt and wings were painted with Twinkling H20 Watercolors.  I have started the background with acrylic paint and a stamp and plan to add more to that when time allows!

I'm really enjoying this 29 Faces Challenge.  Everyone's work is so varied, beautiful and interesting.  The whole thing is just very inspiring and uplifting! I appreciate everyone's kind comments and feedback so far!

29 Faces Challenge: Face #7

I had to post this one early, I have a busy day tomorrow and Wednesday, so I worked ahead a little.

She's a little rough, especially the hair again. She's done in an art journal using prismacolor pencils, acrylic paints, micron pen, white gel pen and Pitt Artist Big Brush pens.

29 Faces Challenge: Face #6

Face #6 (I call her Poppy Girl) turned out pretty good.  I used all sorts of stuff to make her.  The Poppies are from a napkin that I collaged and the rest is acrylic paint, pastels, prisma colored pencil, markers, chalk ink, micron pen and white gel pen.

I must admit that this face was all ready half started in a journal of mine, but I finished her this morning for my 6th face.  Have a great week everyone.  I'm loving this challenge!

29 Faces Challenge: Face #5

I had to do something different because I was getting discouraged with the last 4 faces, and while I know most of you might think this is very strange....I love this one.  It's my favorite so far.  I used my Twinkling H20 watercolors and some colored pencils and a micron pen.

I went looking for inspiration on Etsy before I started this one.  I was inspired by the art of Christina Romeo.  If you click on her name it will bring you to her Etsy shop.  I love her art!  

While watching the superbowl today with my husband, I worked on face sketches that I will be finishing in order to post in the coming week.  I think this might be the key to keeping up with the challenge.  Do pencil sketches at night while everyone is watching tv, and complete them as the week goes on!

29 Faces Challenge: Face #4

Don't laugh! The picture is blurry, but that might actually be doing her some favors in the looks department!  I've been doing these in the living room while everyone is watching tv, so I haven't had the chance to use paints other than my twinkling H20 watercolors.  I think this one has a better shaped head than the others so far...that's some progress at least!

29 Faces Challenge: Face #3

Yikes!  I tried using watercolors, then went over that with some colored pencils and black micron pen.  Her head is totally lopsided, this one is really bad!

29 Faces Challenge: Face #2

I'm trying to play catch-up tonight with my 29 Faces Postings and unfortunately these pictures aren't very good.  I had to take them in low light, so this is the best I can do for now.  It's funny, now that I've taken pictures of my first 5 faces I can see all the lopsided features and mis-shaped heads!  Oh well, that's why I'm doing this. Practice!

I started out using some cheap colored chalk that didn't look very good at all, so I tried to go over it with prismacolor pencils and I also used a black micron pen.  As always I am most dissatisfied with her hair.  I can't seem to get it right!
