More of 29 Faces

I have a few more faces to share.  I have had some time for sketching amid all the other work that I have been doing.  I am still working on costumes for the school musical.  I am making circle skirts for dancers right now.  I am also working on a project for Artistcellar that I will be sharing mid March.  In the meantime I'll keep working on these faces and as much other art as I am able to do while being mom too.

These sketches are all done with graphite and Prismacolor pencils






Have a great Wednesday,
Janelle

29 Faces

I have a lot of new projects, but today I am going to focus on the faces that I haven't shown yet.  I will show off my new journal pages and some other projects soon.  Here are the faces that I have finished since the last ones I showed off. 
This is the doll that I created for my Valentine's Day page. She is created with Neocolor 2 crayons. She has real lace on her dress too. 14

This is an experiment with drawing a boy. He was sketched with graphite pencils. 16

This girl was sketched with a charcoal pencil on a book page. I love the look of the words under her. 19

This sun was sketched with a charcoal pencil on a book page. He is a bit goofy. 20

This moon was sketched with a charcoal pencil on a book page. She matches the sun. 21
Have a great weekend.  I will be sewing costumes for the high school musical that my daughter is in this year.

29 Faces Day 6

This face was drawn with soft pastels and a bit of pencil on pastel paper.  This is my first time using the pastels on pastel paper.  I do want to try this method again.

29 Faces Day One

I created this face as pulled art from my journal.  She is a bit wacky and rough this time.  I am going to try and create as many faces as I can this month.  I am going to go with whatever style I feel drawn to at the time.  I hope you enjoy my wacky alien girl.
