FFO when I take my time

 

 Welcome To Friday Face OFF (FFO)

This is the place to show off your faces or your face. Post any type of face from any medium. You can create it, or find it in nature, or even that face in the design of you woodwork in your house. 
Human, animal, alien, or monster. 
ANY KIND OF FACE!
 
Hi Everyone! We actually had a few days in a row of sunshine, so of course I have been out in the garden. It's hard to divide my time with garden and art and all of the other things I do on a daily basis.  So this week I decided to just take my time on this face. It is not done yet, but so far I am happy with it. I thought I took progress photos but I guess I was dreaming.
Here is one

and here is where I left off today. I already fixed the eye brown. LOL When I take my time I can layer the shadows and get better value. Still a lot to finish.
 
A few AI pieces


 

 


 
And a photo of my youngest grandson with his girl friend. Both in college and my grandson is in the military as well.
 
This weeks feature is Carol from A shutterbug Explores
 
Now it's time to show me your face.

Lovely faces.

A great face, I love the eyebrows.
In college AND in military? In Germany so far military is volunteer (that or you work in care), but they think of making it a duty again.
Ingo went, too, but I am glad he is too old now. It is so dangerous. (glad he is too old for firefighter-job, too).
My respect for those who are willing to serve and, awww, such a cute couple!
Happy Friday!

The face will wait - the garden not so much!

Mae Travels said...

I saw a photo of a “real” person that looked just like the AI ones. Maybe she had many plastic surgeries that made her look that way. Nice sketch.

I am always amazed at how well you can draw faces. I am sure this will be even more amazing when you finish it.

Those cheeks on the face you are drawing really give some dimension to it. It's coming along great Nicole and will be lovely when it's done. Have a great FRiday.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

The face is coming along beautifully -- those cheekbones!

Happy Friday, Nicole. I love how your Asian face is developing. The subtle way you created her nose and mouth and in between is awesome ~ so real! But the daisy petals with the faces freak me out ~ lol! I'm glad that you have a a chance to work in your garden, and I hope you share pictures soon. Kudos to your grandson, with college and military service underway. We need positive young people like him! All the best, my friend!

You do such a fantastic job on your portraits. I love how deep set the eyes are on your faces. Great job on the lips, too. I have much to learn! Have a doodletastic weekend, Nicole!

The face is coming to life in it's unfinished state.

Dear Nicole,
what an expressive face, beautiful!
And it's nice to see members of your family again - wow, even your youngest grandson is already a grown man with such a pretty girlfriend!
You did a great job with your AI flowers!
All the best and best wishes after my blog break,

i am so happy you got your sun out for some days dear friend :)

it's genuine instinct in one for when and which form of art is going to take over :)
gardening is also a form of art indeed and i bet you did great as always

your face isn't finished yet still has power to grab eye balls :)

though shading does much of this job undoubtedly
best wishes and lots of love

baili said...

you have handsome grandson and his girlfriend is Gorgeous !
all the best with his future ventures amen!
