Hand Drawn / Hand Painted Faces .... this is a real challenge but that is why I have joined this Group ... isn't it?!!
So I sat with a page of Watercolour paper and drew some pencil lines so that the page was 'squared' off in ATC sizes. Then I cut them all out and sat with one card in front of me.
I painted her hair, then lightly drew her features and coloured them in using my Promarkers.
I drew a side view for my second one and after much 'rubbing out' I managed to get a face I could live with!!!
I found some basic face drawing exercises on the web showing expressions .... I tried the 'surprise' one. I don't know whether it is a boy or a girl but .... that's the surprise!!
My last one is 'happy' so she has a few laughter lines around her eyes .... not sure if I am happy with these but for my first real attempt at faces .... yes! I am pleased.
Lovely ATCs Christine, it's always nice to see some of your original work.
