Day 25, Catching up , Faces #22, #23, #24, #25.

My weekend was overwhelmingly busy, I didn't have time to even have a moment to myself before having to rush to the next thing. Yesterday I was able to bring my art supplies with me and I started working on a face while my friends were tolerant of my multi-tasking. Then in the evening I had to cancel some plans because I needed to watch my dear friends children while she was at work, so I was able to bring my art supplies again. In total I got 4 faces done.

First off is David Tennat as Dr.Who.

Then while I was babysitting I did these. First is just a woman, there is no reference photo, I made her up, I'm not happy with her but she's a face.

And then I did a horse because I friends daughter absolutely loves horses, probably as much as I do :)

And then once the little one's went to bed, I realized that I had one photo on my phone to use as a reference. ( I recently copied photos to my computer and cleaned up my phone)

So this is my friend Mandy, she was celebrating discount candy day on February 15th.

I can tell how running behind and the deadline looming is effecting me, I feel like my progress has halted. Hmm, 4 more left and my week is still busy :/  I will get this challenge done, even if I have to draw a family of stick figures smiling. 

Day 23, No faces.

I am stuck. The momentum that was with me in the beginning has faded. I have been very busy the past few days. So busy I've barely had time to check my e-mail let alone create a face. However, this afternoon I have a huge chunk of free time and plan on getting at least two faces done (if not more) in hopes to be able to finish with all 29 faces in time.

I promise I haven't given up....

Day 20, Face #21 Jude Law

I was playing around with my charcoals again when I decided to try another celebrity. I really love putting my finished work side by side with this inspiration, it's showing me where and what I need to work on to improve. My proportions are getting better, I just need more practice. Once I'm comfortable with Charcoal I think I want to try doing the kind with black paper and white chalk, what is that called? I've seen some lovely ones done that way through the 29 faces.

There are a few things to unbalance him but I have come leaps and bounds with somethings, (like open mouths and teeth), his cheeks could be a little more compact, his nose shadowed a bit better and the left side shadows more enhanced  then he would look a bit more like Jude. In any case I love him as he is so I'm not going to fuss with him :)

Day 19, Face #20

 So after two very needed days off I'm starting to play with my charcoal set that I got for my birthday. They defiantly are growing on me.

I can't believe I only need 9 more faces!

Day 16, Face #19, Elvis

Today was full of energy and things not going quite as planned, I was however able to get a face done today. I haven't been able to post it until this late because my computer decided to give me some problems, so while it was running scans I wasted a few hours on my Xbox :)

hopefully  I will have enough time tomorrow to really put some time into my drawings so they don't look to rushed. 

Day 15, Face #18 Humphrey Borgart

Today it my Mothers Birthday! Yay!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Anyway, today is really busy and the drawing I was working on didn't turn out at all, so here is one that I did during the holidays. Humphrey Bogart again... I have a little thing for him  ;) 

As you can see my proportions are off, but I love him anyway. 

Day 14, Face #16 & #17, Lovers

Happy Valentines Day!

Today I did a drawing of lovers, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. I'm a sucker for Humphrey in anything he is in, I think it's that puppy dog face he has, he looks so lonely and sad unless he's really smiling. I found it easy to draw him and the tip of my pencil always hit where it needed to be, Bacall on the other hand was erased a few time before I settled with her. Anyway I'm off to watch mushy movies my man, I hope everyone has a wonderful day!
