February One, 29 Faces Challenge (and snow) | The Slumbering Herd Art Blog

Three ATCs for February 1, 2015
Each 2.5″ x 3.5″ Copics, fine liners, gel pen

I am submitting three different kinds of faces for the first day of 29 Faces, animal, human and humanoid, including: The March Hare, made for an Alice in Wonderland request, Dorothy, the fifth of the flappers, for a Great Gatsby theme, and Fairy Phee, made for a Fairies & Folklore theme at illustratedatcs.com.

Earlier this morning I shoveled the walk. And then it snowed the next 10 hours or so (Chicago area), so I suspect I will be taking a snow day from work tomorrow! In fact, I have already emailed the boss people. Hooray! I hope to do some acrylics for this challenge, and a snow day would be perfect for that. :)

Thanks for stopping in! Progress pics below.

These are all cute! I especially like the humanoid, it’s so sympathetic, looks like it’s wearing its best party dress on!

We’ve been also having snow here in Helsinki, Finland, for a couple of days. Now it’s raining, and all is wet wet wet :(

The March Hare is a hoot. Cindy your work is so much fun. I love that you always show the process.

Wow!!! These are so amazing!! I have not ventured into the realm of copic markers yet. I am so in love with these (and Alice is one of my favourite stories!).

Hey CindyD! I joined the challenge! And as much as I love that flapper, I am head over heels for that rabbit. Seriously. I cannot get enough of those big gorgeous eyes or that sweet little smile. Or the light on his nose. HEE!
