Digital Art Faces

I am having such a good time creating digital art.  For me, it is a nice relaxing way to lose myself in creativity with no fear of mistakes. Oh, I make plenty of mistakes, but it is easy enough to erase the last few marks you made and fix it. Of course that works much better for me when I remember to use a new layer for each new element. 
I used a photo of my Mom as a starting point for this first piece. It looks enough like her that she said "Is that me?"  
The left eye is a bit off but I didn't try to fix it since I had other things on that layer. (oops, lesson learned, well sort of.) 

The next piece was based on a pen sketch that I used a while back for the Friday Face Off. 
I reworked it digitally and added color.  I really like the result. 

I am linking up with Nicole for the Friday Face Off (which at the time of this writing isn't posted yet.) 


Until Next Time,  
Stay Creative

Both pieces look great.
Oh, do I miss Photoshop. I have a program from... hold on to something... 1994, PhotoStudio.
It´s free and has not even layers. But for what I do these days it´s enough. And did I mention it´s for free...
To creativity, layers or not - have a happy Friday!

When I first glanced at the top face, I thought that looks like Gene with a wig. Yep, you can tell that is your Mom. Great work on both faces!

I'm very late for Friday Face Off, but that's how I found your post.

I'm particularly struck by that purple hat :)
