As I said, fall appears to be here. Even though I know summer could come back any moment, with its sunny disposition and easy to please, uncomplicated nature, I am going to take full advantage of fall this week, and start a new project. Yes, fall is the time for projects, isn't it? Anyway, I would call this a Face Per Day, but I don't think I can stick to something like that even though I can be fairly disciplined when I want to be. Maybe a few faces per week would be a more workable goal. I just want to do this because I have felt very rusty when I have attempted portraits lately, so I want to sketch and try to lose the rust. Anyway, these are going to be quick sketches, mostly with a pen, just to loosen myself up and get a feel for faces. It won't just be human faces, even though I'm going to focus on them, so animals will be part of it. As these are quick sketches, I will still be posting whatever else I am working on. There is this painter who has a painting per day blog and has lately been posting faces that she has been painting of mugshots. They are really interesting and I suppose the photos are public domain, but I will not be using mugshots. Anyway, this is face # 1 and it was about a 5 minute sketch. Not very lovely, but it was quick and loose and I enjoyed it.
Edited to add, now that I think about it, what I am going to do is work towards a specific number of faces. How about 50 Faces? 50 Faces in two months?
Edited to add another face. I guess this guy thinks he is Jack Sparrow.
