Back to line drawing with a brush pen again today.

I'm starting to question my ability to draw faces,

as everything I make is beginning to look the same to me.

If you've stopped by to look at this post, I'm wondering -

Do you prefer my line drawings or colored pencil portraits?

I'm questioning myself, but I suppose that's to be expected

after all these days of drawing faces!

Thanks for visiting!

Hope your week is off to a good start!

Another brush pen drawing!

Renee's pointy chin is a bit more pronounced than I intended,

but now she is planted forever in my sketchbook.

After making about 40 faces, I'm beginning to believe 

what I've heard from various artists,

that making art every day allows you to let go of perfectionism

and just enjoy the process.

Some are better than others, that's all!

Thanks for stopping by to visit!

Just a quick look at the latest faces for my 

100 Day Project!

Lavinia!!

A couple more days with the line drawings,

then I plan to try a different technique!

Hope you've had a great day!

More Faces

I've been on a three day trip to beautiful Vermont with my husband. We went to our nephew's college graduation and stayed at the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe. It was quite a place, with mementos and photos of the Trapp family everywhere, and quaint folk art decorated rooms. Here are a few photos of the grounds.

During the three hour drive, I did some drawings in my sketchbook and completed them with Pigma brush pens at night. Unfortunately, I couldn't blog while away, so here are the latest faces.

I'm enjoying doing line drawings. Truthfully, they are easier to do, but the challenge is to avoid getting too complicated and add too many details. For that reason, I'm planning to do a second version of "Vanessa", without most of the flowers. I'll keep these line drawings up for the rest of the week, then go back to color.

Thanks so much for visiting!

Wishing you a wonderful week!
