My sketchbook is full of drawings of faces and sometimes I ask myself why I like to draw them so much. I haven’t figured out the answer totally yet but I think it may have something to do with ‘meeting’ a new person each time I draw one. I see the personality emerging as I continue drawing and I find it fascinating. Is that weird?
Anyway, here’s a face that I sketched not too long ago that I really like. I quite like the effect of the soft pencil I used and it was quite meditative to draw her.
I can’t help wondering what she’s thinking.
What is your sketchbook full of? And if you’re not an artist, do you doodle whilst on the phone?
Hi! I love that question do you doodle while on the phone! I HAVE to have a piece of paper and a pen when I am on the phone!!!! Thanks for sharing!
Hiya Bev, thanks for commenting. I’m quite sure you’re not the only one who doodles when on the phone and I’m quite curious about what it reveals about a person!
Love this blog.
I know what you mean about drawing faces so No it is not weird (although I think many people believe me to be weird…lol).
Right…I’m off to see your Main Site now. Cheerio

Hi Stew, thanks for stopping by and commenting!
Well you have some great work so the pleasure was all mine
Stew.
Thank you! Nice of you to say
She’s just lovely and does look very pensive. I can imagine that it was very meditative to draw her.
Thanks Barbara
I can imagine you creating personalities in your head for your faces too…I invent landscapes & places!
I’m glad I’m not the only one inventing! I love your landscapes by the way
I like to use coloured pencils sometimes in my sketchbook so maybe I’ll show more of those.
Nice sketch! Looks relaxed, and probably relaxing while drawing too =) Love the soft touch
Me too! Thanks Alex
What a sweet, sweet face. I love it.
Thanks so much!
