Day 42- #90daysofblogging


Just posting a few faces after following a few small steps in Jane Davenport's book, Beautiful faces.  So far the first chapter was all the supplies she loves to use and being a art supply junky.  I like Jane, I hear voice when I read her book..(literally)  The persona that we get from her free videos on YouTube and interviews we have seen her in, shine throughout the pages.  It's so funny, as I read her book and I find myself rereading the lines saying, that was not dramatic enough.. put more emphasis here.  Yet when she requested that we SMILE when we draw.. I couldn't bring myself to do that, probably my faces look so serious here.  my sketches of faces can take me a few as 90 seconds without adding color or details.  Her faces make me take a whole five to seven minutes, yikes.  I drew small and will try bigger as I get more confident.  My faces don't look as fairy/nymph like as hers, because they are MY FACES.  I only plan to take the portion of her teachings that I feel add value to mine.  Did I say I like my faces?  They aren't perfect and that's fine by me..  I need more help with coloring/painting etc.  Ok.. enough for this post.. :)
