29 Faces

I have seen the 29 Faces challenge from Ayala Art on several different blogs and thought, "What a great idea. I should join in. Challenge myself to create  29 faces in May." I then talked myself out of it because I didn't think I had the  time. Valid excuse, right? Well, of course. But, I DO have time. The last couple of days I have been finding little bits of time that were not there before to sketch and paint some faces. SO...
even though I am late to the party, 
I am joining in. :) 

Here are my first four faces. I will be back tomorrow with four more, 
and then I will be caught up. :)

Face #1
Instagram pic of sketch in my journal. I love her glamorous eyelashes. :)


Face #2

I drew & shaded this face in my idea journal that I keep with me - 
just a plain old composition book.

Face #3
Quirky face sketched with my left hand! With my right hand I traced her 
with black pen, added flowers & painted using watercolors. 
I need to remind myself to relax and "be free!"

Face #4
This is a WIP on some manilla tags I had laying around. 
She still needs some more shading. 
I am using white acrylic & watercolor crayons.

I will be back with more faces tomorrow (I know! What's going on here? Two days in a row!) In the meantime, pop on over and see all the faces being created. Well, and you could join in...so I am not the only one so late! :)

  4. First thing, my attention was caught when you mentioned Ayala. Ayala is a well known business district in my country. We even have the Ayala museum in the area.

    I can't wait to see all the 29 faces you will be working. I'm however curious, do they represent or at least were inspired by someone? I would love to hear the story behind each face too. Enjoy the challenge!
