Yep, I thought I had scanned all of the faces but a little nagging voice in the back of my head kept saying...no no no, you made more! So, today, I checked and there they were! I am posting them even though my friend made a selection of the ones already posted. We could change faces if she feels the need, lol.
Too old...
Too splotchy...
A possibility...
Wonky... lol
These seemed a bit wonky to me. I found the process of doing these went like this: The first two were way off from what I wanted and the eyes were so wrong, so I did a couple of eyes studies to see if I could work out the angles and such. Then the next four faces were more on target. Then the next four faces with color were age appropriate but color was not an option and they did not work well when scanned in black and white. Then the last four faces, theses above were moving back into wonkiness, lol.
The face chosen will be the cover of a book that will be released in April or so...a memoir of childhood as remembered by the author. It will be available in paperback and ebook I believe. Wow!

i love ink drawings. i thought more of mood with each one. the first seems calm and cool, the 2nd seems nervous, the third terrified and the 4th defeated. love the variation of grays and the white of the paper makes everything sparkle. thanks for sharing
I love all these. They have such personality and it seems that you have given them names too: Wonky and Splotchy are my favorites!
