It's been some time since I've practiced a simple face, so I grabbed a crappy crappy pencil, seriously in need of sharpening, and sketched this little cutie. My plan is always to paint, but I get so scared sometimes I'll ruin this cute little face. Boo. what to do???
and I was about to link up to Sunday Sketches, but I missed the linky by two minutes! Boo.
Be brave, go for it! Maybe photograph the drawing first and then you will have both when done painting! You can do this!!! And "that" too. ;-)
ReplyDeleteNever too late!!! Looking forward to watching this cute face light up with colors......probably similar to your excitement :)
ReplyDeleteAwe, boo is right! SHE IS GORGEOUS! Copy her - then paint!! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteI vote you xerox that cute face and practice on the copies until you love it and then go for it on the original!!

yes so cute! i have felt that fear before. what you can do is scan this drawing and then print it lightly on nice art paper then paint that one. Keep the original pure. that is one idea. Or you could copy it on tracing paper and copy it on to another page to paint. have fun!
ReplyDeleteshe's really gorgeous! I hope you will try painting her, since I think she will look even better in color!
ReplyDeleteYes...paint...paint...she will be magic...xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit and kindest comment. Thank you for the opportunity to land here and to enjoy the color feast of your blog. So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm with those that say copy her then work out your colors etc.. on the test print.
ReplyDeleteHi Daniele! I feel the same way about putting paint on my drawings, so I usually make several copies, and then if I make a mistake it's no big deal to just crumple it up, toss it in the trash, and begin anew with the next copy (I make a lot of mistakes!). As I'm not too great at drawing, particularly faces (particularly noses!), I know I need to practice more often, and your example here has inspired me to do so!:-)
ReplyDeleteShe's beautiful.... yes add paint. Just scan into your computer first!
ReplyDeleteShe will be even more beautiful.
This is super fab! Great face! I do the same is Jenny, when I have a face that I like I copy it (lightening up the ink) and paint over the copy. I love your faces!
