This happens to me when I sketch faces, and when I try to duplicate them, well.....I never can seem to do that. So...I chose these 2 faces from my journal and decided to do something with them--
First, I printed them out on to dictionary pages--
...this is one of my favorite ways to use sketched faces.
They always help me bring the piece together--
I always add more color to the faces with paint or water-soluble crayons or pitt pens or whatever--just to bring them back to life again. Sometimes I like them better than the original. These 2 are on 6 x 6 gallery wrapped canvases, another favorite of mine, because I can continue the art around the sides too.
I love the Wish, dream vision one! Her face is so serene and I just love the way the print is balanced so evenly behind. Both pieces really turned out beautiful. You are right, we need to reuse our own artwork in different ways..time saving and still original.

ReplyDeleteIt is hard to imagine that creative mind of yours ever getting stuck! Beautiful work, as always. I like the way the profile image looks sort of like there is a torn frame around it. Very nice depth.

Nice - I love your reuse of your drawings copied on dictionary pages - such a cool idea! Really lovely!
ReplyDeleteYour pages here are fantastic! Your idea of printing on dictionary pages never occured to me, and I love the interest and texture that creates.
