PAINT PARTY FRIDAY SEPT 30

Hi Everyone!

I am so happy that I completed the 29 faces challenge. I showed some of the drawings last week and of course you can scroll my blog to see all 29 of them. I feel like I have grown in this field of art, not perfect but better than I was before. I hope you enjoy seeing them. Thank you to Eva and Kristin for hosting Paint Party Friday.  Also to all the artists who step out to show their art. I do enjoy visiting all of you.

These are last weeks faces.
If you click on the face and scroll through they show better.

 This is my brother Steve.








 I showed this drawing on FB and got some great comments, but people wanted to see the photo I used.

Wishing all of you a very happy weekend.

YAY Nicole!!! You did it! Way to go. I passed on this one, but being in other Faces in a month challenges helped me draw better faces. Your faces are amazing! Your drawing of your brother looks just like him and the woman, the last one, was just like the photo. I like your drawing more than the photo. Yours seemed to bring out more emotion in me, probably because it's black & white. Your faces are all amazing. Happy PPF! Have a great week. Hugs, Rasz

Well done! I really like that last picture...shading etc. amazing!
Isn't it a good feeling when you realize that you've learned something new and can see/feel improvement when drawing is ready. but next work might go to bin :) happens too often to me!
Have a great week!
