Tough Guy #sktchy #30faces30days Day 26

10.25x9 drawing pencil over charcoal powder underpainting done today for day 26 of the #sktchy annual portrait challenge #30faces30days. The challenge was to smear charcoal dust made by using sandpaper as I didn't have the commercial product onto paper then with erasers mark features and develop. COPYRIGHT 2022 Kay Smith

Blue-eyed Man sketch

5.5x8.5 hard charcoal sketch on Bienfang for mixed media sketchbook done yesterday, another in my faces series.  As the last page in the sketchbook I thought this imaginary man must be blue-eyed and mysterious.

Bad Boy

8.25x5.25 mixed media collage in my grunge/junk journal done over the weekend.  Over a gessoed page I collaged a page from National Geographic that was treated with CitraSolv solution; portions of original text and patterns can be seen.  Acrylics and antique staining ink used on the face and page to age it along with white gel pen in this imaginary gangster in my current outlaw series.
