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!
I want to make clear that I have never had any real formal art schooling or classes. Yes, my Nan showed me things but not really classes. I did take on watercolor class and OMG! that just didn't work for me. Everything I have learned, especially, drawing I have done on my own. Some of it is very difficult and some just comes to me like maybe it crossed over from a past life.
The one thing, you can take classes, watch YT or learn from a family memeber. You MUST create in a way that works for you. There are so many different ways to draw and you just have to find out what you like.
So here is a sample of me drawing a face. Side veiws are more difficult for me so I try to draw them often. Practice....
I have mentioned before that sometimes I scratch in a face, or sketch it out. This one I sketched out and the rought draft is from a photo but I changed it.
Oh and sorry for the photos. It is so dark with stormy weather here that even with lights on the photos are crap. I hope you can see them OK. Click on them for larger view.
Getting started.
|
Starting to get things in line. Teeth or no teeth?  |
Lining out shading points. I got rid of the ear too.  |
|
I love graphite because I can easily change things like the nose and the mouth with a simple line or shading.  |
The nose is different with errasing a line then shading. I'm starting to like it better. I need to bring down the cheek bone.  |
This is where I left off for the day. I have a lot of things to work on, and I still don't like the cheek bone. Also I will be giving this face some wrinkles.
This week the featured artist is,
Have a great weekend.

Nicole, I am so with you - just start and find your way. I tried YT, too long. Bought a book on watercolors - don´t have the patience.
And yes - practice - a lack here atm...
Most important: It needs to be FUN! :-) Right?
With that: Have a great Friday!
Lovely face Nicole! -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com

Hi Nicole,
thanks for showing your tutorials. We all have own styles and methods.
I haven't take any courses of drawing or painting. Actually I first time in my life tried to draw somethin after I retired and started to make ATCs in 2011. And later tried to paint somethin after learned to do something digitally and bought a photoshop - and noticed that can learn:) All was new for me. Of cause when working for all my working life at advertising agencies see lot of art of that kind art styles.
I hope your weekend is full of joy and inspirations xx
Hi Nicole, nice to see the progress of your drawing. I wish I could draw faces, but it is too hard for me.
We have bad weather over here too. Winter seen never to end this so called, spring. As soon snow melted there ane new ones ciming. Today it is white, AGAIN! :(
Hi Nicole, thank you for presenting your drawing tutorials. We all have our own styles and methods. Actually I hadn't tried ever in my life to draw or paint anything before in 2011 retired and started to make ATCs for my blog. I once tried to draw something and noticed that its not impossible. I haven't ever taken any course, but as working all my work life at advertising agencies I had seen a lot of art in advertising style... Actually my motto is the lifetime learning!
I'm wising you a enjoyable, inspiring weekend xx
Seeing your sketches revitalise my day. Raw and original.
Oh yes, the picture can be seen quite clearly, dear Nicole. You don´t have to had lessons if you have pleasure in painting. I think your drawings are very nice....your own style I think.
Have a good time and all the best

Is it really Friday again? Where do the weeks go?
...Nicole, you have your own special style! Thanks for hosting the party, take care and be well.
There have been too many things consuming my time lately. I hope to be back soon.
The most important thing in art is hand-eye coordination.
You are wise woman when it comes to learning about art Nicole. And I totally agree with you. You have to learn which way is right for you. I think your latest face looks great. I know what you mean about side views. Have a great weekend.hugs-Erika
Everyone who creates art seems to have developed individual ways to create features and faces, and you way is beautiful.
best, mae at maefood.blogspot.com

What a spectacular way to create your amazing face. I loved seeing it progress and develop under your clever hand. You definitely have a skill set I don't possess.
Last night, your comments counter didn't appear. I refreshed and nothing. It just didn't exist. Today I refreshed and it is here and I see others have been able to leave comments. Thanks for hosting FFO, Nicole.
Nice work! I really should try drawing faces. It’s been a long, long time.
Hi, Nicole! I enjoyed watching you develop your current face. She looks Hawaiian to me. I have a very short post this week. We have to fly to Florida because Terry's brother is struggling with cancer. I'll do better next week. Have a great week!
I can do animal faces better than humans, I find drawing human faces tricky. perhaps I need more practice.

I've never had formal art classes either, apart from maybe a day long workshop or something like that. My mom did a lot of art and crafty things with me at home and I just learned. i love your faces -- I think they are hard and it is interesting to see your process.
You draw such realistic faces. I have so much to learn! Thanks for challenging us all with your weekly art host date, Nicole!
