better late than never…face #1

I had so much fun today playing in the studio! I nearly ran out of daytime to scan and post.

I got this idea in my head that I would draw faces with fancy hats for this year’s 29 Faces. Sort of a cross between “Downton Abbey” and Panem in “Hunger Games.” After I drew this face, I decided she looked like a city girl so drew the background separately. I think I’ll try and do this type of thing all month.

We’ll see how it goes.

And today…being February 1…a new lesson came out for Year of the Fairy Tale. My alarm cats woke me up early, so I watched the new videos in my jammies!! I spent the day doodling ideas for the next assignment.

These are two ideas from the first part of the assignment. The story is The Princess Frog so I’m trying to make my princess and frog resemble each other a little bit.

So I made her cloak like the frog’s skin. Her hair is supposed to have the same shape as the frog’s eyes. Then I carried over the red bangs to the frog’s head as well.

This may not be my final princess…I have drawn at least 50 different ones! And as many frogs! It’s so hard to decide on who to pick!!

Thank goodness for basketball season. My husband is in front of the TV and I can squeeze in extra time painting and doodling.

See you tomorrow for face #2.
