#16 for 29faces of may

i worked on this most of the day today...i don't know why...it almost hit the trash can a couple of times....it is on a collaged canvas....this canvas is doomed because this is the 3rd "painting try" on it.....but anyway, here it is as much as i dislike it, it is my face for this day.....it is 11x14............

for 29 faces

i guess you will be seeing at least 29 posts of faces for may here on my blog....if i do this i will amaze myself........the 3 faces here are drawn in ink and then watercoloured......of course, as you can see, they are on book pages.. i used my rotring ink pen....it is not waterproof and i like the effect you get when you apply water....takes some getting used to though.......i used india ink on the second girls hair with a new dip pen i just bought and it is waterproof . i wasn't happy with the hair markings.....and just getting used to the dip pen.....and the 3rd girl is weird looking...

#8 for 29 faces in may....the day got away from me but i did manage to take 30 minutes to sit down and do this quick sketch with pastel pencils.....very hard to get a picture of this...but you get the idea...

29 faces #7

this face turned out to be a mess....i grabbed a can of spray that i thought was my fixative and it was not....i went to put color on the cheeks and what a mess.....it is in a altered book/journal so i decided to just go with it as is because i was getting very frustrated with trying to fix it.....amen, and on to tomorrows face....
