29 Faces Days #7, #8 and #9

I finally had a chance to sit down and get caught up on faces.  This is really going to be challenging thinking of new and different things and not repeating myself.  I do love a challenge!

29 Faces Day 6

Still a day late but here is Day 6.

Working on some fun new things for the blog.  Too tired tonight to get into detail but stay tuned for more.

29 Faces Day 5

I'm a little behind but here is my face for Day 5.  I'm hoping that I can come up with a good variety of faces and not end up drawing the same thing day after day.

I really love this one and hope I can do some more elaborate ones and not just quick sketches.

I'd love some suggestions.  If you have an idea for a medium or technique, style or challenge you'd like me to try to draw...leave me a comment and I'll see if I can come up with something.

29 Faces Day 4

Here is a quick sketch in oil pastels for today's face.  It was really fun to just toss it down and not worry much about detail or anything else.   I love the oil pastels.  I need to spend more time learning what else is possible with them.

I also pulled out my polymer clay today to work on some fun Halloween projects.  I got so incredibly burned out on the clay and havent done anything with it in quite a while.  Being willing to pull it out and work with it again came as quite a surprise...for me and my daughter who saw the tote and said..."Wow!  Clay?  really?"

I may try to do some "work in progress" pics as I work on these projects.  Stay tuned!.

29 Faces Day 3

I was in the car pretty much all day and while I got some things done...I didn't have a moment to even pick up a pencil, let alone draw anything resembling a face.  With that in mind, here is a face I drew for a tutorial at Wonderstrange Arts.  I actually won an awesome art piece for my submission...not really because it was that great but because I think I might have been the only one who sent something in.  The tutorial was awesome though and as with all things at Wonderstrange...so much fun.  If you aren't familiar with Wonderstrange or the wonderfully strange ladies who make it so...well...wonderful, check them out at Wonderstrange Arts.

29 Faces Day 2

Here is my face for Day 2.  A little more refined than the last.  Planning one with a little more color today.

Thanks for all the encouragement and sweet comments!  They are very much appreciated!

Personal Challenge and 29 Faces Day 1

Okay...I've made excuses.  I've procrastinated.  I've told myself  "I'll start tomorrow...I'll do better once this "whatever" is done...etc."  Its time to put up...or shut up.  Its time to stop being a Wannabee artist and take that step to being a real, working artist.

So...with that in mind, I have set a goal of creating and posting art every day.  I am starting with a challenge called 29 Faces.  The challenge is to draw a face every day in September...a total of 29 with one day wiggle room.  All mediums, styles, etc. so I hope to create a variety, try some new things, improve on my drawing skills and further hone my personal style.

I hope you'll follow along on this journey of mine.  I hope I can make it fun and interesting for you.  I hope I can succeed in my goal of making art every single day and I hope I can reach a point where I feel confidant calling myself an Artist.

Here is my first face.  Its rough and needs a little tweeking, refining and clean up but its a face...and its a start.
