Journal Page

Been exploring capturing human faces this year, and am delighted with how this turned out. I feel like I really captured the essence I wanted.

I am still drawing strangers. For some reason that seems to have much less pressure than attempting to capture the face of someone I know. Am working up the confidence to try it.

The background is an acrylic wash and the man is done with ink and watercolors.
