Doodle Portraits

This month Kaefer and I do a "Fun in the Sun" challenge together. We do this via an app we both use. When you live so far apart from each other (5527 miles straight line flight distance or 8896 km) you have to use different methods of doing things together than if you're living in the same city or the same country. 

One of the challenges is to doodle a self portrait. I'm not good at drawing or painting portraits in the first place, but in this case I didn't really mind. I didn't even try to achieve something like a resemblance to the "real me" - I just enjoyed doodling a rather wonky face. I used graphite pencils for this.

Kaefer, however, chose to draw herself doing something she loves - riding her bicycle. Just a few weeks ago she took a week-long solo bike trip along the Donauradweg (Danube Cycle Path) and around the Neusiedler See (Lake Neusiedl) in Austria and Hungary.

You probably already guessed that these two drawings are my contribution to Nicole's Friday Face Off.
