Faces


I was very glad this weeks challenge was to do faces, because it is exactly what I have been wanting to improve on. It took me a few days to come up with a drawing that I liked. Then after drawing it I still needed to collage it. So here it is, my submission to the challenge at Inspiremethursday. It is really a conglomeration of many things. First off it is a watercolor pencil drawing layered on on all kinds of paper, with stamped images and pen and ink doodles. Then there is the glaze for the finishing touch. All and all I am very happy with how the face turned out but not too happy with the collage effects. I love to collage but I had a hard time getting this effort to work. But I know I have learned a few things and will do some things differently next time. At this point I was more concerned with the face. This project was totally a practice trial and error job. To me it is very messy and I want to get a more professional finished look when completed.
