Hello everyone! I know, I know...it has been a lifetime since I did my last post here, but I´m back!! The news are that I´ve join the 29 Faces in May challenge by Ayala DeHarris and I´m having such a good time there!! Did you already join?..if you didn´t you have to jump in there. It´s a great opportunity to challenge yourself and sketch, draw or paint every day a new face.
Here are mines until now:
Day 1: The quote says "Live one day at a time"
I used watersoluble crayons, white acrylic and watercolor pencils
and I did a video of this one too!
Day 2:
This one is still in process...I don´t know why I didn´t finish it yet
I used gesso for the background (it´s an altered book) and Tombow marquers
Day 3:
Sketch with pencil
Day 4:
Sketch with pencil
Day 5: You are Unique
Collage over canvas. I used acrylics and some pitt marquers for the flowers and add the quote with photoshop ;)
I think I need to improve my skills in painting faces so I´ll try to do more painting, what do you think?
