Tattooed Woman ~ Day 29 of #30Faces30Days Sktchy

11x8.5 watercolor and ink line on paper, done for day 29 of #30Faces30Days Sktchy challenge.  Only one more face for me to do soon as January is over today.  With this model, I edited out many more tattoos that were all over her arms and hand.  A STA Lictin 0.3 pen used to sketch.

Western Woman

9x12 India ink on vintage book text collaged to Canson watercolor paper, a faces class demo done this morning. Using a chopstick as a drawing instrument dipped into black ink, lines and shapes were put in to resemble features. I especially liked the straw hat the model wore.
