Happy Holidays
I wasn't planning on taking a break from blogging it just worked out that way. I have been good at keeping my contract with myself to draw more and here is some of what I have been up to. I got a new small Moleskine at the beginning of December and the intent was to draw faces. I was having so much fun I went back and got another one the same as they were on sale for a good price. The cover doesn't give you a hint as to the theme in this case. It is an image I love of an Asian theme of water. In Victoria it is the wet season so maybe it is fitting. We have been getting loads of rainy days.
This Moleskine is 3 1/2 x 5 1/2"

I am practicing different expressions and angles
Faces are so hard to make them look like a particular person. I am happy they look like humans!
I love pencil work
Will likey do a face over this background
Pan Pastels
a background ready for a portrait.
I am still not very confident at my drawing skills, but if I don't practice I won't get better so I am committing to practice and share.
And this final one is from a new big journal 8 1/2 x 11" with grey paper which is cool.

Your faces are incredible Patti. They certainly do look human. Look your new journal.
Oops I meant LOVE your new journal
Wow Patti!!! I have finally gotten the chance to really look at this journal and your faces.
I lam intrigued with the way you add collage elements to your drawings, and the way you fearlessly try different techniques.
And I love the spread with the pencil sketch of the eye up in the left corner, the pages with the mustached man and the "its a studio day" pages the most, but all are really fantastic!!!
Happy New Year,

Beautiful work. I love it
