This process of creating a one line face drawing is still holding my attention. Today's face seemed to flow onto the page and invited the use of lots of colors and also lots of white space.
One of the most interesting aspects of creating these faces is seeing how the expressions appear - its not as if I start out to draw a happy or sad or even, as she looks, doubtful face. I take what appears and go with it.
There is something intriguing about allowing the art to appear, without a plan beyond the rules I set for myself. I am enjoying this - no doubt about it.
As I mentioned yesterday, one of the intriguing aspects of drawing these one line faces is discovering the expressions that appear. I see that all of my "ladies" are looking directly at the viewer, and none are smiling. And all are wearing serious, engaged expressions.
What does this mean? Is it a reflection of my style or of my inner life? Ms. E here looks quite pensive. I wonder what she is thinking about.
