Tonight’s pencil sketch on the couch. My husband says she reminds him of Baby from Dirty Dancing. Not my intention, but what do you think?
Today’s finished face. Decided to add some color to the pencil/graphite sketch with some colored charcoal. She’s got some big hair going on! Maybe that’s why she also seems to have some attitude as well.
Inspiration from Pamela Gillespie (@sewcrazi) and @jillfaust. Love your art! Pencil sketch and watercolors with acrylic paint through a stencil.
Pencil sketch watercolored with Dina Wakley Media Scribble Sticks and colored pencils. I cut leaves from a gel plate print and glued them onto the branches. The sentiment is from Dina’s collage words. I used a Posca pen to redraw the lines of the sketch and created the border with Dina’s washi tape.
The music sheet title from the background collage started the inspiration for this creation, as well as a childhood photo I keep in my studio that always makes me smile.
Pencil and water soluble graphite sketch on a gessoed page in my giant moleskine sketchbook. I used Dina Wakley media collage tissue, Scribble Sticks in Umber and Elephant and Umber acrylic paint.
This seemed an appropriate sentiment for the big fearful look in her eyes. Some journaling about overcomimg fears and daring to see what happens. Inspired by Dina Wakley’s new product releases at Creativation trade show in Arizona. From her products, I used washi tapes, collage tissue and paints: Turquoise, Magenta and Night.
But First Coffee. Inspired by the quote on my sweetener packet this morning. You never know where inspiration will come from! First I sketched my girl in pencil, then collaged the coffee cup image with matte medium, covering the entire page to seal it. I used Faber Castell Pitt pens to color and shade and a black Posca pen to outline and highlight.
My Fun Fab 3/4 Portrait final result from following Karen Campbell’s You Tube tutorial. I used pencil, colored pencil and gel pen. Love her quirky characters and Karen’s perky personality. She can also be found on Instagram @karencampbellartist.
