Sketching Challenges
4:59 PM Posted In Art Challenge , Sketching Edit This 0 Comments »
Recently I've been spending some time on Facebook. It took me forever to finally set up an account - and now that I have one I've found an amazing tool there - GROUPS.
I've joined a number of Facebook artists groups. and they are SO MUCH fun!! The challenges are uplifting and very enjoyable.
This week it seems that two groups I'm in are hosting challenges having to do with sketching. While I don't have any charcoal at the moment - I pulled out my artists graphite pencils and gave it a whirl. It was very interesting because I've never done sketching before. The most sketching i've done is a light pencil outline ala Suzi Blu or Ady Almanza.
The sketch took me about 45 minutes initially. It looked like this:
While I was fairly happy with this first effort - the wonkiness of her facial structure bothered me. It looked like someone had hit er in the face or something to me. LOL
Later today I played with it a bit more, did a bit more shading, erased some lines... here she is now:
I like her! I'm now wanting to add a bit of paint - but with it being so graphite heavy I know it'll smear and get icky. I think I'll leave well enough alone!

So, i live here in TX - there's no snow here right now. In fact we had a high of 72 yesterday.
Don't hate me...lol
But I am a native NY'er, where it gets cold cold and so because i was feeling VERY festive and wanted a little Holiday weather
And because i needed to practice a doll in Adriana's style
AND... because Willowing's art challange this month is "Girl and dear" (Thanks darling q for giving me a heads up!)
And lastly - because adding a bit of sparkle to a picture is a perfect way to add a bit of zing to the day...

Greetings,
Work of Art was quite amazing this week! i was so excited to see that Abdi stayed but saddened that Nicole left :( (Honestly i prefered her work to Peregrines)
This weeks Challenge is in the Theme of "Nature"
Let her be your muse and use some items from nature to inspire and as actual components in your piece.
Most importantly let the work speak to your Soul, and let your Soul and connection with Self speak through your work.
Have Fun!!
In Laughter, Light and Lustiness!!

Greetings,
In this weeks work of Art they took on duality and opposing concepts. I thought it might be fun for us as Artists to take on the same theme.
So if you feel inclined choose an opposing theme. Create your work of art in that theme and post a link to your blog here! Also link to this post so other artists might participate in this project!
Some potential opposing themes:
Heaven - Hell
Light - Dark
Pain - Pleasure
Master - slave
Order -Chaos
Feel free to also list those you come up with!!
i will add my work for this challenge sometime in the next week!
