Faces 17 and 18

Face 17

same series ...

Face 18

Face 16

OK, so I didn't draw this from scratch.

This is my granddaughter, Molly, on her first day of Kindergarten.

I changed the digital photo to black and white, bumped the contrast,

then printed it onto tissue paper from my laser printer.

Then I collaged it onto this background and went to town with

pastel pencils. I love how this turned out!!

Thanks for looking!

Faces 14 and 15

Same technique as the others.

Now on face 15, I used a reference photo ... not something I'm good at. 

Not a drawing I'm happy with either.

But I'm being brave and posting here. Practice, practice, practice.

As always, thank you for looking!!

Faces 12 and 13

Really surprising myself that I'm actually managing to keep up.

I am loving this challenge.

Face 11

Hmmm, I seem to be a face behind. Good thing I have some waiting time at a couple of my daughter's appointments this afternoon! Here's Face #9's counterpart:

Face 10

I'm away from my other journal today, so I used another one.

Same Stabilo All pencil, though.
