29 Faces: Face 15

I didn't get a chance to finish David today but I did manage to finish Face 15 for the 29 Faces art challenge. This one is based on an old photo I have. I can't remember if it came from the Brady-Handy collection or if it was one of those funny links on Buzzfeed. It was a nice exercise in values!

Speaking of old photos, if you're not familiar with the Brady-Handy collection of civil war era photos, it's definitely worth a browse. Tons of high resolution photos in the public domain. 

Below I've posted some of the acrylic ATCs I did from this collection of photos. Tons of great portrait shots there.

I'll come back to Michaelangelo's David tomorrow. Hopefully.





 

 I managed to fit in drawing a couple of Halloween Digital Stamps for my Etsy store today. One is a set of naughty pumpkin monster and the other is a Zombie Crossing stamp. I love Halloween!

    Your drawings are just so wonderful, the modelling of the face and the hair, and the delicate sideburns. I am just lost in admiration for your artistic talents. I shall look up the archive you mention, it is very good of you to share this info.
    I must come back for another look two or three times today, and also leave comments on the posts I have missed.
    Marvellous work.

    Love the black and white photo you drew! Your digi stamps are really cute as well! I love the movement and life in your work. Mine is always a little flat. Great stuff!!!

    Love the vintage artwork very much! #15 is a gorgeous hunk. Love his muttonchops. (Is that what that's called???)
