MAY ART JOURNALING CHALLENGE!!!

Here is my page.



Might have another go at this but it sure was fun doing it.

 

I gave it a try! Well, let's be honest, I gave it a lot of tries. And after about an hour I seemed to understand the proportions of a face. (okay I used a photo as a reference but I'm sure that's fine) and I read the forum and the tips of retracing the lines to the place where you want to start again. So in the end I'm pretty proud of my end result!
Now I'm off to scrap a page!

 

Wooooo hooooo - you thought you could- you thought you could; YOU DID!

 

I LOVE these challenges. Best online! I am inspired by this to try a photo of hubster and myself together. THAT will be HARD! (But... I think I can...I think I can...)
Did two of this one, don't know which is better?

@AJK Tough decision. They are both fantastic!

 

ok I did it , that has to count for something LOL

 

I cannot believe how long it's taking me to learn how to do this. I'm on about try #15. But I'll get there. Dammit.

 

It took me longer to scrap then I planned on and then I forgot about posting it. But here it is.

 

BLUE

This was the most difficult challenge I’ve taken on in a long time. I learned many new skills: how to draw a face that looks like a face without taking pen from paper; how to draw a face simple enough to manage the next step; how to select an area of the page with the magnetic lasso tool; how to paint the selected area; how to choose colors that don’t give me a headache when all together.

The paper is from Lynn-Marie; the font is For The One Hundreth Time.

For the May 2016 Art Journal Challenge. Elements from Tangie Baxter, Paula Kesselring, Quirky Heart, Lynne-Marie, Sahlin Studio, and Rebecca McMeen.

This is one that I gave up on sometime ago. Then I went back and messed with it some more. The original sketch was in my journal & got overlaid with notes from my dream interpretation class.

 

I did step one (finally) with the grand kids. They had fun with it.

 

This was fun
