Friday Face OFF -- Little Tibetan Girl

For this week's Friday Face OFF link party

of art featuring faces, hosted by Nicole of

DVArtist, Art, Food, Gardening blog . . .

Another offering from the

"Portraits in Coloured Pencils" class

that I'm taking right now.

This little Tibetan girl is done

in light umber and dark umber

on fawn paper.

I never seem to learn NOT to use

dark umber as a skin tone but,

oh well, once again it seemed

like a good idea at the time.

To my mind, this girl is quite reminiscent

of the famous Les Miz logo featuring

the little French waif, Cosette --

I think it's the solemn look

and that hair blowing in the wind.
