allowing me to paint your little sweet pea.  I do wish I would have researched "how to draw a baby" because the rules for adult faces don't apply to the baby face!  Oh well.... I do hope you like my attempt and yes this is my first go at such a little human being.

prompt-  I'm still sketching portraits and here is today's face; it belongs to Amy. 


Pentel pocket brush pen on a book page and craft paint glued to a gelli-printed index card. It is my way of trying to prove that you don't need fancy expensive supplies to make art

Today we have Hanna

I thought it might be s but easier since there weren't much on facial features to worry about since most is hidden by the camera.  No big worries with it since everyone knows what s camera poke like and with fill in any errors in drawing or simply not notice. When I started drawing, it hit me..... the dreaded hands.  Ugh!! 


I know that Hanna loves pink but I hated the pink against her hair so I chose this gelli-printed index card instead.

sked me to paint her profile picture! What an awesome photograph! You are really pushing me with this one; first, I've never drawn or painted a dandelion before; second, I avoid drawing hands like the plague!

Today's face is inspired from Agnes photo.  I see that you love the outdoors so I had to get the gelli-plate out again.  I had some cards that had a bit of colour on the but not enough for me.  Thanks for letting me give your face a go! Cheers!

Today's face belongs to Rick over on Sktchy. He doesn't make art but he has inspired over 450 drawings from the hundreds of photos he's posted for inspiration.  I used this on because I couldn't recall the last time I had drawn s profile portrait (hmm that might be never)

Thought I would like to draw a dude for today's card.  Meet Dennis,  now that I see my photo, the background is a little dark for his skin tone.  Oh well, it is what it is, moving on!!

Part 1/2    I saw a cover of a magazine called Faces by Cloth Paper Scissors and thought I would give it a go. Don't know what the technique used was but this is what I did: gesso foundation in my sketchbook, oil pastel and watercolours. 


Thanks to Avril from Sktchy. 


2017-1. Actually this is my second attempt at Avril from Sktchy.  Stamp pad ink and stencils for background (on an index card of course).  The drawing was done on a book page then collaged.  I used my Pentel brush pen, watercolour mixed with gesso, and Stabilo all pencil.
