Selection of sketches 100headschallenge round 1 and 2

100 faces in 100 days. I joined this challenge twice in order to shake things up and learn a lot in a short time. It allowed me to experiment with different materials, markmaking, combinations, light &dark, storytelling, etc. Sometimes it was just the stroke of a pencil, an initial mistake, a ripped paper or a smudge that eventually lead to more knowledge, new found inspiration and a broader spectrum of possibilities. In a second round I focussed on character and facial features and limited myself to graphite and pencils. Successes and failures! It allowed me to improve my skills and step up my game!

Both projects were concluded with busy open studios. Below are some examples. Please check out this instagram reel 100 heads to see more heads shown during the open studio.

If you are interested in one of the drawings let me know because some of them are still available.
