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!

Great drawing, Debra. Love the eyes!
...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 😘
Margaret Keane, watch out! --Jim

Meow!!! love it!!!
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!
Almost has a Japanese anime feel tp it.
I really do like this style of art.
Love that; it's a great style of drawing and painting.
I love big eyes. They always make me think that the brains behind them have wonderfully huge tales to tell. Also, that cat looks so relaxed... as if someone is mentally scratching its spiritual ears just right (probably with paint).
This is your best ink and watercolour sketch to date! Love the brightness of your colours, especially the blue eyes!
Great art. I immediately thought anime. When I’m doodling people, the eyes are always oversized and sad.
Very nice. Now sell it on Deviant Art.
