29 Faces #29

 

Yay! I did it! Drew 29 faces in 30 days. That was fun and I needed the practice. Believe it or not, I wish it wasn’t over yet….I need the push to create everyday and I love drawing faces.

Thanks to Martha of Ayala Art for once again hosting the September edition of the 29 Faces challenge.  It takes a lot work to pull the challenge off and she does it so well.

The drawing is 3’ wide.

29 Faces #22

#22 already…...

Why the big laugh? He heard this joke: 

An Irish woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husband's libido. "What about trying Viagra?", asked the doctor. "Not a chance", she said... "He won't even take an aspirin." "Not a problem," replied the doctor. "Give him an Irish Viagra." "What is Irish Viagra?", she asked. "It's when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee. He won't even taste it. Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went."

It was a week later when she called the doctor, who directly inquired as to her progress. The poor dear exclaimed, "Oh, faith, bejaysus and begorrah! T'was horrid! Just terrible, doctor!"

"Really?, What happened?", asked the doctor.

"Well, I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate. He jumped straight up, with a smile on his face, a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely! With one swoop of his arms, he sent me cups and saucers flying, ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop! T'was a nightmare, I tell you, an absolute nightmare!"

"Why so terrible?" asked the doctor, "Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasn't good?"

"Freakin' jaysus, it was the best sex I've had in 25 years! But sure as I'm sittin' here, I'll never be able to show me face in Starbucks again."

29 Faces # 19, 20, 21

You’re eyes do not deceive you, there are 8 faces on this page not three. But since they are small and I sketched them over three days, I’m only counting them as three. I knew the weekend would be busy with only small chunks of time, here and there, to work on the 29 faces project. So my challenge was to draw as many small faces as I could over the weekend, all on the same page (the page to be completed at a later date)

I have to tell you, pencil drawings are not easy to photograph, especially in low light. The graphite picks up a sheen and obliterates the detail of the drawing. Oh no, I’m not making excuses for the bad drawings, only the bad photograph. :)

I think I like the top left and the bottom left faces the best.

Sept 2014 - 29 Faces # 10

This is a little departure from was I was doing but I thought I’d take a break from the pencil and paint a little. 

Actually used I used: Napkin tissue for the background, gesso, pencil, acrylic paint, Prismacolor colored pencils, and watercolor pencils from Derwent.
