For this week's Friday Face OFF link party
of art featuring faces, hosted by Nicole of
DVArtist, Art, Food, Gardening blog . . .
Another direct-to-paper sketch
done in permanent ink and watercolour wash,
based on art which I found on the internet.
With its cutesy cartoonish style and oversized eyes,
the original had a clear Japanese kawaii vibe.
I enjoyed trying to reproduce its "look."
Like virtually every student and beginner,
I always tend to draw eyes too
disproportionately large anyway, so
it was nice to do it deliberately this time, LOL!

...Debra, your wonderful drawing reminds me of Dianne Dengel's work.

@ Tom -- Those are fun and delightful paintings! Thanks for the link!
Great drawing. I too have always had trouble accurately drawing eyes.
Lovely paintings, I always love big eyes. With art we can be extravagant! Hugs!
I love the combination of blond hair and bright blue eyes.
Your art work is beautiful, Debra 💖
Happy FFO 😘

This is so nice Debra!
@ Parnassus (Jim) -- I never thought of her famous "Big Eyes" paintings, so thanks for the reminder, lol! When I was a teen in the 70s, I had a couple of her prints in my bedroom. And I also enjoyed the 2014 movie "Big Eyes" that was made about how her husband ripped off her fame and fortune until she bested him!
