My goals for this challenge: Be creative...try new things...HAVE FUN!
While I was getting started, I did have some inspiration from other artists. My first page was a limited color face I created after watching Tamora Laporte's video on You Tube. You can see it here. It's a fast forward view of her creating a journal page using limited colors.
Day 1
 |
The second page I created was my own version of a lesson that we had with Marieke Blokland on Life Book 2014. I changed the face and hair to make it my own style. I really love how she turned out! While I was creating this journal page, I was having so much fun that time got away from me. When I looked at the clock it was 1:00 AM!! I finally went to bed and finished the page after breakfast this morning.
Day 2
 |
| Sugar Sugar journal page from LB 2014, week 4. |
I have many ideas for upcoming faces....I should probably jot them down somewhere so I don't forget. It's all I could think about last night, which made falling asleep a little difficult! I am looking forward to seeing everyone's faces during this challenge! I've already seen some amazing works!
If you would like to join the challenge there's still time. Go on over to the 29 FACES CHALLENGE blog page and get started!
It is amazing how time can pass by when we are doing what we love, ART! That is why I hesitated when deciding to sign up for the 29 Faces Challenge. It is so much fun, but I usually end up going to bed so late, that I have a hard time getting up for work. The gains, however, are immense...by face drawing skills improved so much last time I participated. As soon as I finish my art today, I am going to join the challenge.
ReplyDeleteI really like how you added your own style to your second face, it is fun and free. Well done!
Yes! It is sooo worth it though, right? I'm glad that you went ahead and signed up. I've been over to your page and love your art and photographs! I can't wait to see some of your faces. :) This is definitely going to be a fun challenge.
DeleteCool designs and colors...nice faces, too!
ReplyDeleteBoth are simply beautiful! You did a great job in making them entirely different and yet wonderful in their own ways. Love the blue hair.
ReplyDeleteLove that wild, wind-blown hair, and the limited palette on the first one works really well.
ReplyDeleteboth are adorable, so happy that you joined!
ReplyDeleteboth are amazing.. I can't choose a favourite !

Would be better you would turn off the "captcha" verification word -
Martha has set a link how to do this on the blog....look there for help-
it drives me crazy and costs much time to write this extra words...
Nice to meet you too! Thanks so much for the info on the "captcha." I had read that last night and meant to double check and make sure it was off...it is now!! :)
Deletelove the faces, I am doing Lifebook too - isnt it just great? also have trouble sleeping due to a head full of art:)
