29 faces in may

on a whim, i decided to do the 29 faces challenge this month.

mostly because i already sketch a bunch of faces on a regular basis, and because it seemed like it would be fun.

i started a day late but since there are 31 days in may, i figured that didn't much matter at all.

i also don't have time to do elaborate paintings or complete works of art in a day so i took all pressure off and immediately decided that i'd just do one quick sketch and share - that's all.

here is my day one sketch:

and here is day two, which for me, was yesterday:

and this is from this morning:

the last two have color because i recently became a convert to copic markers - by recently, i mean, four days ago. i actually got a set of the copic skin tones and have decided that i will practice my copic blending/layering skills (there is a learning curve) during the remainder of the 29 faces challenge. yay!

i will probably not be blogging my designs on a daily basis because i am now working from home, in addition to working on stocking my etsy shop on a more regular basis, while also simultaneously spending less time on the computer and more time with my kidlets. it's a tough balance, but i don't feel like i'm stretching myself too thin and what better way to motivate myself to try something new?

so stay tuned and if you're a new reader, visiting my blog from the challenge, nice to meet you :)
