Twenty Nine Faces in September

I've decided to play along with the 29 Faces in September challenge, which is being hosted by Alaya Art.  I've got a tiny book to work in, and most of my faces will go in there (although I may do a few big ones in my art journal too - I'm keeping my options open).

Here's my tiny, 4" x 5" journal...

and here's my face #1...

I made a huge blunder with the ink pen on her nose; so I just cut out a piece of paper from the back of the book, pasted it right on top and kept going.  This is just about practice, and that's what makes it fun for me!  I sketched her with a pitt pen and colored her with watercolor pencils.
