I really love how the lips turned out so figured I’d do the same with the eye. I love the effect i managed to get on it, but the iris colors.. not 100% sold on those. Still, it’s today’s contraption.

The second month ends with a big kiss. Today was something of a study in the lighting on the lips, and how to convert a pencil drawing into color.

The face i showed before is not complete yet. It needs a frame, it needs a setting. And of course hair. So that is what I did today. I made a nice pixie cut hairstyle and a face shape that should house the rest. It might start looking a bit odd when i combine them, for the face in relation to the other things i’ve drawn is a lot smaller. But we’ll see how it turns out. For now, have some hair.

On the way to work today I decided to test my new phone by making a picture of sky lighting up behind the pyramid that is our train station. The effect was so nice that I decided to strengthen it by adding a blur and messing with the strength of the color balance on the outskirts of the picture. Finally I added a border to set off the darkness.

The mouth. After doing the eyes, the ears and the nose, the mouth of course couldn’t stay behind. I think its interesting how many lines the mouth does not actually have. The outer contour is more hinted at than drawn, except for the shadowy corners and bottom part.
And a bit of bonus content
As I had most of a face ready, I thought to combine the bits I had and make a “semi face”. Yes, it lacks a lot, like the little ridges between the nose and mouth, but its still the best face I’ve ever drawn. Even if it wasn’t in one bit.

I’ll stick with the face a bit longer, this time I’ve tried my hand at drawing a nose. I’m pretty pleased with most of it, the bridge could use a bit of work, but the “bulbous” part of the nose turned out rather as intended.

Faces, if you want to draw them property can be quite a hassle. Not only the eyes, but a realistic nose, mouth and ears are pretty hard as well. The hardest due to the weird shape i think is the ears, so that was my focus for today. I’m going to need to draw a few more to be able to draw them consistently well, but for now this is a nice start I think.

A little while back I drew an eye. I did so from the top of my head, no example, just what i thought I’d remember about the eye. It came out, well, not quite what I desired (see day 42) and I promised to try it again, this time with a bit of help from a tutorial and an example.
Today’s the day I make good on this promise, and I think the help shows. I’m pretty happy with how this turned out.

Tripple word score for today. I’ve been trying to make the Kingspray letters I make more “graffiti” and I’ve tried to do so in a couple of ways. None of them really are what i was looking for, but they were good practice I guess, so here’s three pixels for the last day of the year.

Whilst trying to design a more graffiti like logo, I once again made a too rigid design. A pity, but it’s not useless, I’ve drawn it up in Illustrator and finished up the shadow effects in Photoshop. All three stages included.
