29 Faces - Day 10

So - I wouldn't be defeated!!!  I tried this woman on a tag and was she ever scary.  I tried her again - only a little less scary - you wouldn't have wanted to meet her in a dark alley or anywhere!!  I thought - bigger.  This is a hard angle for me to draw - looking down and smiling (left the teeth out - I have my limits-lol) I started with my Micron pen and then thought there is so much shadow here - can't do that with my pen.  (I know some people can - I'm not there yet.)  I bravely reached for my Conte crayons. I got them for a drawing class and hated them.  Everything I used them for looked like dirt.  I am not kidding!  But - the time had come to wade back in.  So here she is - she doesn't look exactly like the pic in the magazine.  But she doesn't look like Frankenstein either (at least I don't think she does).  The windblown hair was also tricky - not sure I quite got it - but it' better than my first two tries.  I still have not caught up - but she is my offering (sacrifice?) for day 10.  Go to 29 Faces September to see some wonderful artwork.  Thanks for taking a look - I love your comments so leave one if you have the time.

  1. Hi Gina, kudos for trying again! I think the conte adds a nice depth and texture, also: the hair near her face does indeed look 'windblown'.

    1. Thanks - I know I have a long way to go - but felt like I needed to try these harder angles.

  2. You really have tried a very difficult angle to draw, and I think you have done a good job. Keep going, you will get there in the end! Valerie
