Faces 9 & 10 (And, A Favorite Process Revealed!)

2013: 20
(prismacolor pencils)

You may recognize this girl from yesterday's drawing.  
I created her by using one of my favorite techniques...

One drawing, endless possibilities...

When I make a drawing (like the one yesterday), I scan it into the computer.  Then, if I want to play with it some more, I lighten it up (in a photo editing program), and print it out on 110lb. white cardstock.

Then, I can play, play, play!

  10. Hi Kristin! Thank you for visiting my blog and following me!!! I finished my drawing and posted her last night.
    I like your faces, especially the black and white. I am really a fan of graphic work, and this one looks like a linol cut!

  14. Very creative...this looks Beautiful!
    I sometimes take photocopies of my work (B/W outlines) in different sizes...small, medium and big! Then trace it out onto the canvas...its tedious though!
