Friday Again? Time flies

So Friday has arrived again. That means more faces to share.  This week, just like last week, I am sharing images that I have created in Procreate drawing software on my iPad. 

First up is this recreation of a sketch from my paper sketchbook. 

I used that drawing (which was enhanced with watercolor) and used it as a reference. 

What?  There is on face on this one? Sure there is but it is facing away from you. 

Next up, I used the images of two parrots from a puzzle that we put together. 

I recreated them  drawing with my Apple Pencil, and did a pretty good job, I think. 

So there are two faces. 

And a final face. The reference for this was a simple line drawing from one of my sketchbooks.

I decided to keep it pretty simple but add a little color.  

Don't ask me about the headgear.  I don't remember how this came to be originally. 

So there you go.  My art to share in the Friday Face Off.   

Until Next Time,

Faces

Welcome to my blog home.  Today is Friday so it is time to share faces I have created. These faces are created digitally using the Procreate app on an iPad. 

First up is a cute little three year old boy.   I took a photo to use as reference for my art - because 3 year olds do not sit still. Ha ha. 

Next up is a Picasso type portrait of a certain famous scientist. I will let you guess which one. 

(Hint, there is a famous photo of this scientist sticking out his tongue at the camera.) 

I am linking with the Friday Face Off.

Friday Face Off 8/16/24

Another Friday is here and I have a couple of fun digital drawings to share with you. 

First we have Seahorses playing in the ocean with bubbles.  

The seahorses were inspired by a book that a friend's baby put into my hands to read to her. 

I thought "you know what, I could draw seahorses with just a bit of effort. 

So, I did. They have faces so they qualify for the face off. 

I also used a photo that I had taken, years ago, of some flowers. It became my reference for this drawing.

I have lots of fun creating these digital drawings/paintings.  

I continue to look at everything for inspiration.

Fabric to Digital

The idea to transform one of my art quilts into a digital drawing occurred to me while I was playing with my iPad.  Using a photo of the quilt as a reference,  I recreated the quilt in a digital drawing format. 

As you can see, they are different while maintaining the same concept. 

This was a great excuse for me to play with more of the "bubble shapes" that I love drawing. 

I haven't yet found a good technique to add the quilting lines on the digital painting. 

I did add some texture to the background layer to add to the depth of the work. 

Until Next Time,

A Friday FaceOff and A fun Time

Welcome to another Friday Face off event hosted by Nicole at https://beadwright.blogspot.com/

I have a couple of digital drawings that I made while slightly distracted. So excuse the "goofs" - I stil had fun drawing them. 

and

The Thursday night, I worked a show at our local performing arts theater. 

The act was "The Kings of Queen" (a Queen tribute band) and they did a wonderful job. 

Plus, I got to meet most of the band. I got pics with three of them. 

The lead singer in the Freddie Mercury garb and the bass player.

A friend, the guitar player (the Brian May of this group) and of course me. 

I did meet the drummer on the stairs and spoke with him, but I didn't get a photo. 

It was a fun night and I enjoyed it a lot.

A bit of quilting

I watched a replay of a live event on Free motion Circle. https://freemotioncircle.com

I was inspired to take a piece of fabric, make a quilt sandwich and go for it. 

             Front (multicolor hand painted in 2022)

                     Back (brown)

Are there mistakes, bobbles, wobbly lines? Sure there are. It isn't perfect, but it is perfectly fun and interesting. 

Art does NOT need or even want to be perfect. I am reminded of a van Gogh that I saw (a print) and said to myself "the edge of the table doesn't match up behind the vase" But I loved it anyway. And if a master like Vincent van Gogh can be happy with imperfection, so can I. (And so should you work your creations.)

Friday Face Off 08/02/24

I have had a busy week. I did put a pre-wound linen warp on my loom and have started weaving some fabric. This is the first linen warp I have used -and probably the last one I will use also.  Ha ha. 

My art today was created using my iPad and digital pencil again.  

Hibiscus -side view

Veronica Sanders 

Mandala

And just for fun, this little fish swimming across is created in the same program.

I just had to do a bit of extra drawing to make him "move." 

If you look very closely on the top two, you may find a face used as a signature for the piece. I created a digital "stamp" for my art. I used an image of a rubber stamp that I carved by hand, to create the digital stamp. 

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

Have a great weekend!
