I managed to finish a sketch I had started already, so at least I have something to show.
I had bought this little notebook with brown paper years ago, and every now and then I took it out and lovelingly gazed at the pages and then put it back again, saving it for I don't know what.
So when we were going on holidays I decided to take it with me and USE it. What good is a notebook when it's just sitting in your bookcase, right?
I like working on these pages. Might try to make a white doodle or something on it.
That's it for today. Tomorrow I'll try and visit the other participants, see who's participating this time around. I'm kinda curious ;-)
Thanks for visiting! See you tomorrow ♥

Lovely and exotic! Hooray for putting your brown paper journal to good use, (and I think using white in it will be terrific).
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about the "Saturdays" hahaha Your lady here is such a dreamer, I love her! Good for you that you took the notebook!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love her pretty face looking upwards. I love drawing on brown paper. I buy most of my sketchbooks with it now. It's most wonderful for sketching with a brown colored pencil and using whites for highlights.
ReplyDelete.A lovely face. For this challenge I am using a book I have kept for years for the same reason.
ReplyDeleteShe's beautiful .... I love the angle of her face.
ReplyDeleteThis a beautiful lady you have created to start the 29 faces challenge.
ReplyDeleteI love the paper! The hat band is really cool on your drawing. Her eyes are so pretty with those long lashes!
ReplyDeleteShe's beautiful!!! It's going to be a fun month :)
ReplyDeleteI will try an get started on my first face today. My book only has 26 pages, so I'm giving myself a bit of maneuvering space. Love your start!
