I've been in a sketching frenzy - loving the plain paper and graphite and getting really into it. More so I love tearing out the face sketch and then medium-ing it (is there such a word?) Anyway, thought I'd share some of them. The goddess on the left here - or
déesse (the french name) she started off like this
and has ended up as a really love addition below. Not quite finished but am going to finish her soon. She's going to have the poem
"To her I entrust my spirit
When I sleep and when I wake
Even as my soul is not within my body
Déesse is with me I am not afraid"
I placed her face on a piece of wood backing and then added more shading with my beautiful primsa crayons, then the 'medium-ing' started - I find this so meditative.
By the way, just out of interest, I discovered that the Citroen DS, that icon french car, well the DS, stands for Déesse, goddess , that's what they thought of it when they designed her. Beautiful. Bfn x
