Friday Face OFF 9/23

 Greetings!

Happy Friday Face OFF! The place where you can share any type of face in any medium. Simply link back to this post, link up with Mr. Linksy below and leave a comment. 

Let's see your face.

Here's mine for this week.
I'm liking these brooding male faces and so glad this guy did NOT have facial hair. 
 

 

 
Here are some faces from my past

Gourd creatures

Amazing art, Nicole - especially the Gourd creatures :)
Your drowned portraits are always good.
Happy FFO everyone!

NatureFootstep said...

All faces are good of course. :) But my favorites are the lion and the wolf :)

Hope everything is fine.
hugs Monica

You do an amazing job with these faces, Nicole, really capturing the expression well. I will resist the temptation to link up this week because my current post is a book review about trees and forests, with nary a face in sight. Enjoy the weekend coming up. David

Mae Travels said...

Fun faces! I like the 3-D sculptures best.

Enjoy the weekend! … mae at maefood.blogspot.com

Tom said...

...your gourd faces remind of Lanier Meaders' face jugs. Thanks for hosting the party, Nicole.

Gene Black said...

The pencil drawing of the man is very nice, but I am most impressed by the gourd creatures. I have worked on gourds in the past. I found them nearly impossible to cut through.

Valerie-Jael said...

Beautiful faces and love the gourds, too! Thanks for sharing! Happy Friday, hugs, Valerie

He looks like his significant other is doing something he's not quite sure about. "Like where is woman going to now?" I'm familiar with that look from my husband. Smile. So many great faces this week Nicole. I particularly like those animal faces. Have a great start to your weekend. Hugs-Erika

Granny Annie said...

I love all your faces for today. It would be nice to meet your sketch fellow in person. He's a handsome dude.

Andrea @ From The Sol said...

Wow Nicole, thank you for choosing me as your as your featured Artist ... It is humbling and gratifying at the same time. As for your brooding males, you have really mastered the technique, especially the eyes ... your eyes, even in your animals, speak to me ... say something about the mood and intelligence of the subject. Well, Done, again Nicole :) Hope you are feeling better these days ...

Handsome guy and creative faces from the past

Great job on his eyes and frowning brows!

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

I decided not to join this week because when I went to visit everyone, I couldn't find the linky. It isn't fair to join, then not be able t visit others and leave comments. Looks like it's there today, though. Happy FFO, Nicole.

Giorgio said...

Congrats on such a great inquiring expression of your face! I also like the three graphite drawings.

This guy is amazing, Nicole. I love his brooding expression and wonder what is going through his mind. Your gourd creatues and faces are wonderful as well. Have a great weekend!

Christine said...

And I love Andrea's work.

Su-sieee! Mac said...

That’s a great drawing. I wonder what caught his eye that has him pondering so.

Jeanie said...

Your eyes are excellent! And I really love how you do your animals, Nicole. They have soul.

Rostrose said...

A very distinctive face, dear Nicole! While I would have thought the guy wasn't looking brooding but looking stern or reproachful, I definitely like how you captured the expression. I also like your works from the past - especially (of course) the cheetah <3 <3 <3 I love them!)
All the best, Traude

Nicole,

You do such an amazing job on faces. I know I've told you this before but it's really the truth! :)

Luiz Gomes said...

Boa tarde minha querida amiga Nicole. Seus desenhos são maravilhosos. O que você me deu está guardado até hoje. Foi meu presente de aniversário no ano passado.

Giorgio said...

I can see a symbol of messianic Judaism on your colourful doll. Isn't it? Nice artwork, Nicole!
I also like instant coffee, but I sometimes have it in the early afternoon! Congrats on your storng and healthy potatoes, Nicole!

Have a nice week, Nicole :-)
