REGULAR FACE PRACTICE: lose the fear and keep playing

Hey, friends! I am still practicing regularly in my "faces" journal. It is a journal made from an old book cover, paper bags, and junk mail, with each page being lightly painted with gesso. It has turned into a place where I practice drawing and painting faces. I think the best way to practice is to let go of any fear, keep playing, try new things, and don't overwork anything: step away and look at the face again later.

After allowing this one to sit for a while this morning, I did go back and add some more color and lines. I'm not sure she is done, but a main goal for this endeavor is to not overwork anything.
