If you've been following along with wonderstrange, you know I've been doing what I call "anti-journaling." If you aren't following along, you can check out this week's total spread by going clicky-clicky.
But, face-wise, here's my main spread:
Three faces! BOOM. |
The popups were part of Jane Davenport's Lifebook lesson this week - I never do the Lifebook lesson. I watch the videos, absorb the techniques, and move on. But... POPUPS. Plus one of the prompts for Chronicles this week was to actually do a lesson. It's like I wrote that JUST FOR ME (I totally did). The popups were supposed to represent three positive qualities that you appreciate in other people (and therefore in yourself), so I did that. Sort of. As much as I ever do anything that means anything.. hahaha
the Buddha represents being 'zen', in my definition, not little piddly crap bother you |
the mime represents creativity, or thinking out of the box. |
even though this isn't a face, the castle in the clouds represents dreaming big |
and here's a closeup of the weird dude on the other page:
He doesn't have anything to do with Lifebook - I was just experimenting with colored pencils on pastel ground.
I am working on more Greek mythological women on wood bits, but yay I'm up to 6! I'm only five days behind :D That's like a Christmas miracle.
Your experiment came out wonderful. I love the way you colored this face.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!!! :D
DeleteWell done! Came out great. Nice to meet you.
ReplyDeletegloria
Thanks so much!! Nice to meet you too :D
DeleteBADASS, love the drabby color scheme, and those lips, I love the way you draw lips
ReplyDeletehahaha thank you! I like the phrase 'drabby color scheme' a lot.. <3
Deleteomg what?! Can't do double duty, pffft! 29 Faces! Paint Party Friday! Maybe Illustration Friday, if you can shoehorn into the weekly topic. And your very own wonderstrange 50 canvases. I do know what you mean, though.
ReplyDeleteLet's not worry about it! Wooooo, popups! Super cool! I like your three choices. Especially the Buddha! I agree you do awesome lips. I should get some pointers. :D
I'm all for doing double duty with PPF or IF.. I think it's just specific challenges that kick my ass.
DeleteI would happily give you lip pointers - maybe a lip demo in Rochester? ;) My #1 lip tip: Make them wider than you think they should be :D
Yes, wider! Yes, a demo! Perhaps this evening I shall do a seriously wide-mouthed fish. Er, girl. :D
DeleteGreat faces! I love your blog background.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThis is really cool, Sarah! What an awesome pop up spread!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! :D It was really fun to do.
DeleteWild and wonderful. Cronicles, lifebooks and wonderstrange, I must check all this. Not that I will necessarily do any of it you understand.
ReplyDeletehahahah understood! Thank you!
DeleteThese faces are great, I especially like the last one!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!!! :D
