Character Faces and an Abstract

 I'm still practice sketching character faces from photos found on Pinterest. These are from the last few days!


I loved this woman with the gapped teeth and had fun with her! She has so much personality, and she reminds me of one of my favorite cousins! I didn't get her face round enough, but I like her!


I loved the photo of this clown woman and decided to attempt sketching her. Pencil first, then Micron pen. Love her!


I posted a first sketch of the butterfly/moth masked woman in the last post in pencil, but I decided to try another one. This time in Micron pen over pencil. A bit different look, and just as challenging and fun!


This is just an abstract page where I was trying to get my feelings out in different marks with different media!


I was drawn to another woman with a bird photo, also on Pinterest, which I sketched with pencil, Micron pen, and a bit of colored pencil. I like how it turned out.


Another interesting face that I wanted to try. Again, I didn't get her face round enough, but it was fun trying!


I just did this one this morning while hubby was getting ready to go to his class get together. It's a woman wearing a rabbit mask, and I love rabbits. The mask has whiskers, but they are very fine and not showing up much here. I found her very interesting and another challenge!
Again, a Pinterest photo, and I think it said it was digital.


I loved the clown sketch so much that I went back and added watercolor! I thought it was a photo of a human woman, but upon a closer look, I noticed doll-like qualities, and then I saw in the description that she was a robot. Since I love dolls, I like her even more! Sketching in watercolor is another challenge altogether!

This week, Wednesday, also completed another trip around the sun for me. My friend, Lennie, had brought me a coconut cake and a card a few days before, and we finished the last two pieces. It was my 76th, and the day was just a usual day for us, because I didn't want to do anything special, but the next day we went out of town, taking the scenic routes to Savannah and back. We went to Walmart, where I bought a couple of hoodies, light pullover tops, and a pair of pajama pants, and a new alarm clock, that I wished I had gotten when we were there last week. Then we had good salads and sandwiches at The Spot, before getting ice shaves to eat on the way home. It was a beautiful day, weather wise and fun wise!

At the first of the week, we had a rat snake stretched out across the washing machine in our laundry room! I had been in and out multiple times doing laundry, then hubby went in for something, and there it was. Luckily, he saw it and managed to get it with the grabbler/reacher thingy and took it out to the barn cats, who got in a fight over it and let it escape. I had no idea that a snake was helping me do laundry! Just thankful it wasn't one of the rattlesnakes or copperheads we have around here, and praying we don't have anymore come inside to visit! Mice and snakes, some of the not so fun perks of living among woods and fields...

Not too many dull moments around Rabbit Hop! Anyway, hubby will be back soon, so I need to stop chattering and put some coffee on, get clothes out of the washer, maybe put some more in, etc. I should have been cleaning, but I haven't. Our friend is coming tomorrow and Monday, but she's an old dear friend, who comes often, so she's used to our messy nest! Ha!

Looking forward to a new week of sketching/painting, and hopefully some cleaning!

Hope you enjoyed your visit! Take care and don't stop creating! It's good for us, and it doesn't have to be perfect to benefit our souls!
