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.

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'.
ReplyDeleteThanks - I know I have a long way to go - but felt like I needed to try these harder angles.
DeleteYou 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
ReplyDeleteI decided to do what I have trouble doing - the challenge pushes me a bit. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteGreat faces and your commentary is excellent!
