Draw a Nose – Challenge Accepted

Hello Friends, How is everyone? When you think the world can’t get any crazier it can! I hope you all are safe and adjusting to life. With Covid, these hurricanes and fires all I do is worry about everyone.

Gina K. Designs showcased her new release last week and I finally took some time to play with this beautiful stamp set.

I am super excited to bring you a video sharing my process.

I just wasn’t able to get the nose or the mouth right and you can see how I accomplished that in my video. Watch it here on YouTube.

Gina K. Designs “Grow Positive Thoughts” is such a beautiful and cool stamp set! The face can be colored easily or you can challenge yourself to add a nose and or mouth. I also drew shoulders and stamped the flowers that sit on her head onto her shirt.

This is my nose and mouth before I found my book on Jane Davenport called “Beautiful Faces”.

She was colored on and off over the course of two days & late nights.

Drawing these mesh details or lacy details take patience but, I love having the opportunity to get creative.

The flowers were colored the same way with markers first then  the layers of pencils begin. Many of you have asked what pencils I like best and depending on the color I use several  different brands. You can see them in the supply list.

Nice to see you all! Sending love, hugs and prayers your way. Kathy

    I don’t use my Gorjuss little girl stamps because I think they are creepy without full faces. I tried looking for examples on how others fill them in, but not many people do. I’ll keep trying to figure something out. Thanks for this inspiration.

    Beautiful !
    Your comment about you having bags under your eyes, I think I’ve got to stage where I have bags with a peep of eyes on top now with all 2020 stress that’s going on. Great to see more of your inspiration & tips. No wonder your pencil bags went quickly they are so pretty & versatile. Stay safe, healthy and happy creating beautiful pieces.x
