Hello and welcome to the 2016 29 faces Challenge!
I can't believe a whole year has gone by sense I did the last challenge.
I was highly distracted in 2015's Challenge, but I finished it, just barely, and then I didn't participate in September 2015 because I was getting married!
If you would like to see wedding photo's I have them on my food blog AStrayKitchen.com (it's where I spend my time between challenges).
I'm super excited to get back at making faces and this year I decided to try for a theme. It's somewhat of a sad theme, but I will be creating faces of actors and musicians that passed away within the last 2 years (like David Bowie, Alan Rickman, Christopher Lee to name the popular ones). When Bowie and Rickman pass away last month I knew I wanted to draw them during the challenge, and then through some random thoughts and conversations I decided it was best to draw only those no longer living, as sort of a remembrance to them.
It was sad compiling this list. A lot of wonderful people passed away. Most of them I fondly remember and didn't realize they had passed away. Most of them are also actors, because it was easier to research them, and frankly, I was too depressed to look into all the musicians that had passed away after 2 hours of actor's who had died.
This next month will be full of beautiful faces, in a tribute to their memories, please check back for new faces (daily!).
