Drawing Faces

I subscribe to many artists' blogs; some of them are painters, some are journalers, some concentrate on nature, some are following the EDM list. Many of them are working on faces, predominantly girl faces. I notice their faces are nearly always young adult faces and a couple of them are trying to draw younger faces. I find drawing a face that is obviously a youngster is very difficult, but I keep trying. Here is my latest attempt:

This is supposed to be my 6 year old granddaughter. I think you can tell this is a youngster face, but I'm not sure anyone would look at it and say, "That's Katie!" I definitely need more work. I mustn't forget the 3 Ps - practice, practice, practice.

My goals for the day:

To get all the collaborative book pages in addressed envelopes ready to go.
To get the napkins for a swap into an addressed envelope ready to go.
To get my inchies in an addressed envelope ready to go.

If I can accomplish these things early enough, I will drive to the post office and send them on their way. Otherwise that will be tomorrow's task.

I also still need to get my tax info organized; make an appointment for a pedicure (I got a gift certificate as a Christmas gift); go through my Spring clothes and decide which ones will accompany me on my road trip to the south; make vegetable beef soup; clean house (Gee, I HATE cleaning house); work on the Noah's ark collage/painting I am making as a baby gift (the baby was born on Sunday).

Sounds like a very busy day - I'd better get it in gear!

I hope to see you tomorrow.
