I used to keep a blog, but wasn't very consistent with it and it withered up like a daisy in the desert. Poor little bloggy. Still, hope springs eternal and I have decided to give it another go!
I'm also doing the 29 faces challenge! My hope is that creating and posting art to share daily this month will get me into the blogging habit. So, here is my first entry for the challenge.
The pose was loosely based on a photo of my daughter, but I did not take time to try to capture an actual likeness. I worked with ballpoint pen to get the basic lines and a bit of shading, then did a quick color treatment with watercolor pencils.
Technically, I can see several problems, the one that really grabs my attention is the proportion and angle of the eyelids. But overall, I'm pleased with the outcome on this quick portrait.
What a gentle, sweet expression you captured. i look forward to the other 28. :) You do know there's only 28 days in February this year, right? Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHi, Cheeka my love! Thanks for the kind comment. Now I know why I'm always running behind. I'm missing that extra day each year! I mean that would be like 30 extra days in my lifetime.... I could do something with that! :)
