Monday Faces: Kelia Moniz



Woke up with a pink eye and had to cancel class today. This is my second time cancelling art class ever and I feel terrible about it. I bought a bottle of eye drops that seems to make me tear more. After a while, the white of my eye is a lot less red and swollen so I guess it's working.

I've been meaning to draw Kelia Moniz for a while now and I've finally gotten around to it. Besides the pink eye, the challenge was drawing more of the body rather than my usual 'shoulder and up' sketches. Fortunately I laid down most of the foundation last night and it was just shading today.

Monday Faces


Experimental is the word for this piece. Tried out two colours that I never knew could work well together. Also had a different approach in putting paint on the canvas. The last bit was the acrylic wash over the whole piece that I saw on an artist's tumblr. It's not as polished like my usual pieces but I just wanted to leave it as it is. Part of me quite likes the overall finish whereas the other part starts to search for the usual bits to tidy up. Overall, I needed to loosen up and Monday Faces are all about me practicing and trying new ways with each piece.

Palette

 
Haven't been updating much due to a shoulder injury from weight training. It's been almost two weeks and is taking longer than usual to recover. Good thing is that it gives me an opportunity to correct my posture when I work and forces me to stretch every 15 minutes. That aside, this is the current palette I'm working with. Soldier on!
