Alaya Art is sponsoring 29 Faces in September 2015. Here is today’s entry–No. 5 (of 29).
Today’s face was inspired by Jane Davenport’s book Drawing and Painting Beautiful Faces: A Mixed-Media Portrait Workshop. You can find her blog here.

Her skin tone is beautiful, light and shadows just perfectly.
Oh, I do miss my skin tone from years ago 😉
Me, too, Susu. Me, too! Thanks! 🙂
This is very lyrical–I love your style here!
Thanks, Caryn!
She’s lovely ….
Thank you! 🙂
I have that book as well and it is sitting on my table so that I will use it for this challenge of which I am sooo behind.
Looooove this face! It looks like you used pastels and markers because her skin is so wonderfully smooth tones and the white highlights in her hair are great. Love using my white marker!
Thank you! The background is Pan Pastels and the girl is all Prismacolor pencils. They are exceptionally smooth pencils.
I have the Prismacolor Pencils too and just love them – I will have to try this! And I have Pan Pastels but haven’t done much with them. I am feeling inspired! 🙂
