Obsessed with Faces

Faces have been my latest obsession.

Most of them are done in my art journals.

Because there are not of layers and done in a watercolor style, I create them in one sitting.

I find it relaxing and fun to do.

Last year I worked on a series of women with their eyes closed called Bad Hair Day.

What helped me transition from closed eyes to open eyes was this video from Jane Davenport: The Whimsical Face.

She made the whole process fun. If you are hesitant about drawing faces, I highly recommend getting a copy of her video.

I rarely rely on stencils in my art work so the section in the video on using a face stencil was not very relevant. But I loved the rest of the information!

As you can see, I am still drawing the faces in a forward position. My next challenge is to start drawing them with their heads turned.
