Sourcing Inspiration

Spring is on its way. Birds are building their nests, on the air, there's a hint of the smell of the nature awakening. On a sunny spot, just sitting and breathing.
It was snowing a bit last night but all that melted rapidly when sun showed its face.
Inspiration for these faces became from spring and more or less from a great drawing guide made by Andrew Loomis.

The first one is pencil drawing and the second is vector image from a sketch created with Illustrator.

The 100DayProject starts today

Better late than never!
Starting my #100facesbyjaana project easy way.
I'm a bit late but will catch up in time along the way.

This time I decided to mark out my subject for the project. Last year I just wanted to draw something for 100 day and it surprisingly worked out well.
We'll see how this "face" thing develops during up coming 100 days.
Posting my work also on Instagram, you can follow me there @jaanahalme and please, feel free to take part for the 100day challenge!

365 Project, Today's drawing 13/365

New medium to try.
Getting to know Gouache paints and painting technique. I have never been able to paint nothing bearable with watercolors or similar paint. So, I decided to turn new page and give it a chance.
This feels nice, a matter of fact, pretty rousing.
Although, my brush technique sucks for the moment :)

Kokeilussa uusi maalaus tekniikka, guassi värit.
En koskaan ole tullut toimeen vesivärien yms. kanssa joten päättelin ottaa härkää sarvista ja katsoa onko minusta "akvarellistiksi". Nämä guassit ainakin tuntuvat ihan kivoilta, ja tietysti niiden peitto ominaisuus helpottaa joltisenkin työskentelyä. Tosin, sivellintekniikkani on kyllä aivan surkea.
Varsinaisten vesivärien kanssa asia on varmasti ihan toinen, niitä täytyy katsoa sitten myöhemmin.
