Maria (with sand!)

I'm almost done with the face but I felt that the yellow I was doing was making the colors dull so now I am waiting to get banana yellow to finish that up.






I added sand to make the bricks look cooler. and it does.

Maria


SO it has been named, and I am continuing to work on it, I am planning to put bricks on the background


Raissa





HEYYY

so I am really excited about this piece. It is on brown paper, I laid out the face with pencil and I already started with pen but I want to finish with pen and ad crayon. It is pretty big too, I don't have it measured but the face is bigger than six inches or something, probably more.
