Finally had a little time for drawing

After putting the baby to sleep last night, I decided to stay up for a little bit to try a charcoal portrait of Mila Kunis.  

I always use my art as a way of unwinding after a stressful day/week.  Paige is in the middle of teething so she's been pretty frustrating and moody for the past couple days. 

So, what do you think??

The end of the challenge...until Sept!

I was so excited to join the 29 Faces Challenge last month.  I got to meet a lot of new bloggers/artists and it kept me motivated to create new art.  I really enjoyed trying a bunch of different mediums to create all of these faces.  Here are some of the faces I created for this past month's challenge:

 I can't wait until September to "attend" again.  In the meantime, I would love to keep in touch with everyone who was creating so expect to see my name popping up in the comments!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!!!

I hope you all have some fun plans for the day!  In honor of Valentine's Day I decided to draw a portrait of my husband and I on our wedding day.  We got married on the beach in Ocean City, Maryland.  The whole day was like a whirlwind!  

These are portraits for days #15 and 16 of the 29 Days Challenge.  Can't wait to see what everyone else has for today!

#13 for the 29 Faces Challenge

This one isn't 100% perfect but I tried!  This is actually a girl I went to school with.  She became a model in New York and said I could use her picture for a reference so I could try portraits of people I knew.  I always think it's way harder to draw someone you know then same random person in a magazine.

This charcoal drawing is #13 of the 29 Faces Challenge
