I heart drawing ends...

I finished my last assignment for the I heart drawing class. It shows how much I have learnt while doing this course. I am longer afraid to try different poses for the people I draw. I still need to practice the side profiles a bit more. This is mainly acrylics with waterbased markers on top for detail and shading.


I also did another page for my Book of Days project. When I first saw a glimpse of Effy's Monday spread I thought the white area was made by ripped paper. I thought that was a great idea so I wanted to do that for my page. I painted the face first and then couldn't bring myself to glue torn strips over it so I put them on the rest of the paper instead. Originally I was going to have the girl peeking out from behind the paper. I will probably still do that sometime later in the year.


I was going to put the writing in the gaps between the papers but I liked the patterns made by the sprays I used so I put it on the paper instead. The prompt this week was surrender  and the challenge was painted words.  I have to learn to surrender to Father Time and stop worrying about time flying by so fast. It is a little hard to do sometimes...

  1. beautifully done! I love the quote about being late, it doesn't matter how early I start to get ready, I am always somewhat late. At least its a reliable lateness :-D

    1. Thanks Kristin. I am usually always the early one but I am quite happy to wait. I like the time to sit and daydream, lol.

    1. Thanks Trish. After I put the picture up on the computer I thought they were a little too thin but they are supposed to be fashion models after all.
