FACE NO 6 FOR 29 FACES

THURSDAY, 6 FEBRUARY - FACE NO 6

THE MASK OF HORRO
Marker Pens - by Jez
This is another personal challenge for me, and you may wonder why.  It's a simple enough drawing, coloured with Berol marker pens.  Well, if you are a frequent visitor you will have realised by now that I like to set my drawings against a white background.  They please me that way, and I feel the sketch is the main focus.

So the personal challenge today within the 29 Faces challenge, was to make myself draw a surrounding border with the markers for The Mask of Horro even though I liked it against the white page.

I have to admit that having completed it I like the feel of movement and energy it gives.  It's a pity I didn't take a photo of it without the background so that I could compare..

  7. This is a wonderful face Jez and I really like the vibrant background, I smile when I read of your love of a white background, I fear white and if I see any white on my work hurriedly cover it up! I think you have made me question why, perhaps I need to do a white background sketch and face my fears. ;)
