It 's so much fun to create young and beautiful portraits, but I was thinking. There are quite a few of us who aren't in that category any longer. So I decided to try a more mature face for my Face #1 in 29 Faces Challenge. The sketch was a doodle I did while waiting my turn at the Department of Motor Vehicles. I came home and colored it in Photoshop. Click here to see all of the entries in this challenge.
your faces are so elegant like you.
ReplyDeletei agree with you. I find older faces fascinating! One of the best portraits I have done was of a 102 year old man. :)

Older faces may not have the beauty of youth...but they do have the beauty of having lived and loved for many years. This is a lovely portrait of a charming woman...a wise woman~

Older subjects add more interest. She has a story to tell, and I want to hear it. She has a diaper pin prick, a cooked supper, a wiped tear behind every wrinkle. She is beautiful. I want to know her!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, older faces show more character and have a deeper beauty.
ReplyDeletesuch a wonderful face
ReplyDeletei love her hair
such a great beginning to 29!
I love this mature lady and the fact that we have so much in common. I'm going to add you to my blog list so I can visit some more. Have fun drawing faces!
ReplyDeleteLisa
Great choice! Love the do, she really has character.
ReplyDeleteWonderful face!
ReplyDeleteSuch a realistic face, Faye, with such character. A great sketch.
ReplyDeleteMe being no chicken spring, I appreciate your work. It's funny how much easier it is to make young faces, maybe it is reminiscing ;)
ReplyDeleteMaybe younger ones are easier to draw because there are less wrinkles LOL, good point, I must try some different ages, and maybe chuck in a bloke or two ;) love this drawing and catch up again over the challenge to see what you are up to :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I could draw mature faces! That's it!! You've inspired to at least draw one mature person during the duration of the challenge!
ReplyDeleteShe looks like she's planning something, or watching an amusing conversation.
Have a fantastic day!
Yes! I totally agree about mature faces. I personally think that they are WAY more interesting, and I like this one a lot.
ReplyDeletewhat a great way to spend your time at the DMV…very nice face!!
ReplyDeleteOh she's lovely so soft and feminine - thank you for visiting my blog :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, Faye! Many of us seems to be in "grandchildren age" and like therefore to do young people. But it is really important to make pictures of the life of the older! Good idea Faye, I will remember that! Your older lady is so charming:)
ReplyDeleteDoing older faces is more challenging yet we all end up there :) I love her profile and that hairdo is so Me ♥
ReplyDeleteYour point of view is great and so is she! Maybe it's a bigger challenge to go for an older face, but why not to challenge yourself indeed? :)
ReplyDeleteI love your face - it looks so nice and full of character... Thanks for visiting my blog!! :) http://www.cordes.re/blog/sketch/?p=735
ReplyDeleteQuite wonderful!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful, serene mature lady, so sure of herself and her place in life. Your phone doodles are always such real people.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this is so beautiful. I loved looking at all your faces
ReplyDeletefor this challenge. Very inspiring :)
I like this mature lady a lot. You have such a nice, delicate touch in your work, Faye. I was just wondering why I am always drawing young faces and toying with the idea of doing some grey haired subjects,
