Starting my new job today and Face #3

I am starting my brand new job today and to be honest I am SUPER nervous!  This is the first time I will be back to work since my little one was born almost a year ago.  I'm not sure how I am going to handle being away from her but we will see how it goes.

To help me de-stress I drew this pencil drawing of a woman for a book my husband is working on for the 29 Faces Challenge.  She is the white queen.  I actually got the idea for the face and pose from a Victoria's Secret Model. LOL!  I added the clothes and day bed/couch.

29 Faces Art Challenge

Hello everyone!  I recently came across a fun Art Challenge called: 29 Faces Art Challenge. W are supposed to create a face per day using any size, style, technique, medium, material or surface..  I am going to try to keep up but there is a chance that I may be posting a couple a day if I get a little behind.  I am really excited about this!!  I think it is going to be a great way to meet other artists and also keep myself drawing!

So without further ado....my first face for the challenge.  I did two because I am a day late starting!!

Angelina Jolie.  Realistic on left and slightly distorted with color on the right.  They are both done using charcoal and I added red chalk to the second one just to add a little bit of something!

Can't wait to see what everyone else created!!

Marker drawings

For a while I got hooked on creating marker drawings.  I think I liked them because they were quick.  I drew all of these about 2 years ago.
