Sunny sports day at school, watercolours, 11 by 7.5 ins., paper. Face 23.
Movie star wannabe, colour pencils, 9 by 6 ins. journal. Face 22.
Little boy, graphite pencil, 9 by 6 ins., journal. Face 21.
Face 21: Outline study from a reference photo on wetcanvas.
Face 22: Sketch practice from imagination using colour pencils. I have 2 small sets of polychromos and luminance pencils and both are very creamy and a delight to use as they glide over paper. Colour pencils were my colour medium of choice at school. I almost never use them these days. So it will be good to do more with this medium, especially using richer depth of colour.

At secondary school, I had a very sportsy best friend and she inspired me to join in games with her at school. So I tried everything ...swimming team, hockey team, relay races, long jump, table tennis. I am glad I did because now I have all those memories. However.... I grew up to be 'bookish'.
Were you a sportsy type?
Whatever your bag, have a great weekend!
Bye for now...

Love the faces and glad you are in Ayala Art's 29 Faces challenge. Plus love to see you here on PPF.
The first one is my favorite. Beautiful ....
Love the sunny warmth of your "sports day" portrait. These are lovely. I didn't really enjoy sports until I was an adult and now I play some golf and swim a lot. Happy PPF
Love the first girl very much!
The first on is my favourite, Happy PPF
much love...
June, I love that first sketch. I like the way her face catches the sunlight. I wasn't a "team" sports person, but my best friend in high school was on the cross country track team, so I used to run with her after school. These days, I love hiking and kayaking. Have a great weekend! -Terri
Sport girl is superb.

Beautiful June! that 1st little girl reminds me of our granddaughter- adorable! xx
These are fabulous. I am really taken by the first one. The lighting is perfect. Well done.
I am def. not the sporty type lol one of those that runs only if chased by lions and even then I would probably end up eaten lol
love the luminance pencils, but they are so much money I don't want to use the ones I have lol
lovely light in the top portrait :)
Love the light in that first one. You can almost feel the warmth of the day.
Great pictures! I was not particularly sporty but I loved wearing my hair in a tight ponytail!
