29 Faces (Day 20) - Blue/Red Girl

 

I'm not sure what to think about this one - Her features, esp. her nose, are wacky and crooked but she is the face that made Connor say, "Wow - that's cool!"  That's a big deal in my world - Connor isn't so much into the stuff I draw so when he liked it it made me like her more.

29 Faces (Day 19) - Emoticon Face

Emoticons - they are shorthand for today, right?  I am old enough to have taken shorthand in high school many years ago - so sad that I didn't keep up with it - it is such a useful talent to have but seems to be a dying skill - pretty similar to cursive writing.  Did you know that they don't teach cursive at school these days?  My boys had an introduction to cursive in school but since they don't use it in their everyday lives they are losing it quickly.   Seems a shame that with all the advances we enjoy today the basics seem to be disappearing quickly!  There is still a site devoted to shorthand - good stuff!

29 Faces (Day 18) - Eyelash Girl

Guess who has a prescription for Latisse?  Either that or she is wearing falsies (eyelashes - excuse me!).  I planned to paper piece her hair but then I decided I really liked her head and just left it as is for now.  Ever draw something and you need to step back cause you are afraid you will mess it up?  I'm kinda in that place with her right now.

She doesn't look so disturbingly unfinished cropped up close -  maybe she will show up with several different hairstyles/colors of hair soon.

29 Faces (Day 17) - Headache Girl

 I get headaches - I hate getting headaches.  My mom gets headaches, my youngest brother gets headaches and our older son gets headaches.  Today was a headache day.  A headache day means many naps, lots of aspirin/tylenol/etc. and a bed that doesn't get made.  Our bed always gets made - - - unless it is a headache day.

 I started feeling a little better early in the evening and this is the girl that came out - headache girl.  Works great with the Illustration Friday word of the week - BURST.

29 Faces (Day16) - Ink Blotter Face

 I am super tired so this will be a super short post - This face was made with ink from an ink dropper.  Seems like a simple concept - draw face with dropper then blot.  VOILA - face then results.  Guess what?  It took at least 5 tries before I got one that I was happy with but this one is pretty cool.

29 Faces (Day 15) - One Line Girl

 Miss Frances is a one line drawing - as in she was drawn from one continuous line of ballpoint ink without lifting the pen from the paper.   Denthe has been doing one line drawings all month and they are amazing and inspired me to try one.  I sketched on notebook paper since it seemed like the type of doodle a person would do at school.

29 Faces (Day 14) - Oversharing Girl

 There is one of these in every family.  The one who blurts out stories that you'd rather were left unsaid.  At gatherings this is the relative that you want to keep a healthy distance from in case you inspire a tale but also the one you don't want to get too far from in case you need to respin a story!
