29 FACES DAY 24


Bernard, the Dotty Man
Inktense black brush pen - Jez
The face I have created over the weekend for today's face is one I made from dots - I can't say 'drew' because it's not really drawn, it's just ...... well, it's just dotted.  It's something I've never tried before - still keeping to my personal approach to the 29 FACES challenge of making something in a different way every day.

Having created a lady with circles recently, I thought it might be interesting to try a face with nothing but dots, making an attempt to show light and shade through the placement of the dots.

That's why he's Bernard the Dotty Man.  He looks to me as though he might be a golfer.

What more can I say?  I held my breath every time I picked up my sketchbook and added some more dots in case I dotted in the wrong places, but for a first attempt it's quite reasonable and I am very pleased with it.  One of my favourites from the whole series.  In fact, I look at it and can't believe I did it!

  9. Great drawing, and it reminds me that I haven't done a drawing with dots for a very, very long time! Perhaps you've inspired me!
