New Creations

Due to our host's confusion caused by stress, the Friday Face Off is happening on Thursday this week. Fortunately I have some work ready to share.  

For several nights I stayed at Mom's as I was the only one available to sit with her. This is prime time for drawing using my iPad and digital pencil.  I must say that the digital pencil was a good choice for me. I have the Apple Pencil.  When I bought it I thought "that is a lot of money for a plastic stick."  For me, it has proved worthwhile.   I love the ways I can use it for sketching, drawing, "painting" etc. So, here are this weeks offerings. 


The first is a reworking of a previous piece that was a re-make from one of my quilted faces.  I changed her hair, both style and color. She has new eyes and eyebrows. I reshaped the nose and lips also. So she is in essence a new creation. 

I love flowers and on my iPad, I had a photo of a hibiscus that I took in Mexico years ago.  I used it as my reference and created this piece. 

I used a gaussian blur to give it a soft dream-like quality. 


This lady is a reworking of a pen sketch that I have shown in the past. I used that sketch as a reference and drew her again digitally.  Of course I had to add some color and changed her skirt a bit in the process.  


I am linking up the to "Friday Face Off" with Nicole.



Until Next Time,  
Stay Creative

I can't believe how good your are at this. Let me rephrase that. I can believe how good you are but it amazes me that you just did it! Hope your mom is doing well and thanks for joining FFO.

I especially love your hibiscus! I see them every day here in Honolulu but never like you have shown. True art. Aloha

I have never tried digital drawing and would probably fail terribly, but I do like what you created. Being a plant and flowers fan, I especially like the hibiscus flower.
