All of the faces in the 29 Faces in May challenge have been created the day they were posted especially for the challenge. Todays face was not. There was nothing in the rules that suggested they should be, it was my own personal goal I suppose. To keep me on my toes and draw something every day. Well, reality bites. After a hard days work, a run around the moor with the skinny dogs, a hearty meal and several glasses of wine and I’m left staring blankly at a sketch book page. So I thought I would take the lazy option and post up something I created some time ago. She is part of the “tatoo” series, of which you have already seen the skinny dogs. I’ve had lots of comments about her as she appears as my Gravatar here on WordPress and my avatar on Twitter.
So, take one ceramic mask brought back by my Mother from Rome…….
Add a promotional image from cosmetic company Illamasqua……..
And you mix them up and get face number 15……..

Fascinating! can’t wait for your next face. It’s such an interesting project 🙂
Aw thank you. I guess I’m going to have to follow Tattoo lady with Tattoo Man 😉
Wow! I want to do another face right now but it’s late and life calls. Think I’m going to carry on the face thing after May.
Brilliant, please do.
I think I’m going to rip off this picture in some fashion 😉
Well when you put it like that, what’s a girl to do? 🙂
Lol ‘take inspiration from’ is what I should have said!
On a pengeek level – what fine liners do you use?
Sakura Pigma Micron pens. They are archival quality fade resistant and don’t seem to bleed or feather.I’m ready for a new set but can’t get them in The Toon. I have to order them online.
Ah – I’ve read of a lot of people liking micron pens – the great Jeremy Fish for one. You can get an 8 or10 pen set here in Hobbycraft but I know I would only use one or two sizes. I might try and source them online too – be cheaper as well I would imagine. I’m also threatening to get some ink cartridges for the old rotring tech pens to see if I can breathe some life back into them. Ok, that’s enough nerdy pen talk for now.
I had to google Jeremy Fish. Brilliant stuff!
His work is great – the draughtsmanship underneath it all is amazing.
Magical drawing.
Thank you so much 🙂
very alluring 🙂
In a strange way, she is!
My favorite of your “faces”
I love masks ^_^
Oh thank you. I think I may have peaked with this face 😉
Love the ceramic mask, and the other two as well. Looks like you’re on a winning streak with this series.
It’s keeping me on my toes.
Oooh I just eavesdropped on the geeky pen talk. Filing the info away for future reference…one day one day….!
It is a particularly intriguing elf. Gorgeous and mysterious.
What a lovely comment. Thank you so much.
Beautiful! I love her mouth!
Thank you for your kind comments 🙂
