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 will still be away from blogging, with the exception of FFO. Mr. M. seems to be feeling better during the day but he is not up to his normal energy level.
As you know the medical system here is NOT good at all and I am fighting for every appt, and test. One appt. the doctor didn't even show up and now is out of the office so Mr. M. can't even get a phone call. Trying to make an appt for a PET scan today. Wish me luck. :)
Ok I promised that this week would be a normal FFO. How ever normal that may be. LOL
I have been trying to focus in on some drawing and I created this one. I love her expression and I wish I could photograph her so you see the shading better.
Now for some featured artists from last week and the week before.
These are all chosen with the number generator.
If I had to pick all of you would be featured. I am always amazing and in wonder at the talent that shows up each week. All of you are my artist heroes.
Now it's time to show me your face.
Nicole
I can tell that the shading on this is excellent/amazing/well done. Why? I see dimension but not "shading" because it has become part of the whole and doesn't "stand out."
ReplyDeleteI can almost see the pulse at the base of her neck. I love it.
Thanks for featuring me. I hope you like the two I did for this week.
It´s... this is not really helping you but maybe good to know... not only America. Health system here in Germany is to cry out loud, too.
ReplyDeleteIt´s a tough job no one wants to do anymore, so try to get a doctor, ha-ha....
Sad, isn´t it.
I hope your fight will finally be a success and Mr. M get´s really better soon.
Love your drawing and the spookies :-)
It is very wonderful you can still write "LOL". When Ingo was so severly sick I had difficulties to see the good in life still.
Think it helps you both big that you still can! Best vibes and wishes on the way...
I like your serene lady to day, Nicole;
ReplyDeleteand wish your weekend is peaceful and happy xx
Beautiful drawing, very well done. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYour work is excellent, Nikola.
ReplyDeleteHe has a positive aura! I hope all goes well and you manage to build a PET scan app today.
I'll try when I get home from work to show a face,
I hope I can!!
Have a beautiful day Nicole!
The digital arts you did were just so fantastical.
ReplyDeleteGreat job. It must be therapeutic too during this period of crisis. All the best - David
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your medical issues. I can't believe the doctor didn't even show up. But your lady is really really lovely. I agree with Gene, you captured the throat so well that it brings the face even more alive. I hope you have some good luck. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteLovely portrait Nicole! Thanks for featuring us busy as you are! -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI hope you get that PET scan for Mr M!

Happy Friday, Nicole! The face you drew is wonderful. You are so talented! I'm keeping you and Mr. M. in my prayers. Hugs to you!
ReplyDeletebtw, Thanks for the shout out! ❤️
ReplyDeleteLovely drawing and I like the weird stuff too.
ReplyDeleteWell, I have one full face -- and a couple of animals so I'll join in. But I feel like a slacker with all the other good people here, including you! I'm glad Mr. M is improving. Things are slow, aren't they. Good luck with your appointments and scheduling. How frustrating.
ReplyDeleteAll the best. Greetings from my hollidays
ReplyDeleteVioletta
Train skulls from stack is interesting.
ReplyDeleteI’m sorry you are having such a hard time getting medical care, and experiencing such cruel neglect. Good luck with the tests and Ih hope the results are optimistic.
ReplyDeletebest, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Great pictures! I’m sorry that the medical system is giving you a hard time. I don’t know how people do it if they don’t have a partner to advocate for them or the ability to fight for themselves.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. I am not a fan of those AIs, but I love your drawing!! :) :)
ReplyDeleteYour portrait today is wonderful... as always. Was glad to hit the number select with my HOMER. Today is a gal from a movie. Still in my prayers
ReplyDeleteGreat expression of that face. I also like the picture of the steam train.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Italy!

ReplyDeletei really hope and pray that your hubby may be well asap ameen!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think I've been on my laptop in a week and a half :( I'm gonna have to start making a laptop date for Fridays.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sad you're having such struggles with access to medical care. I don't understand why we can't take that for granted in a first world country :(
I'm sorry that you have such difficulties with your medical care. I'm really thankful that so far I haven't experienced this and I honestly hope I never will. Hopefully Mr M will continue to get better.
ReplyDeleteYour drawing is gorgeous, Nicole! What a beautiful lady. Hugs - Carola
Dear Nicole, I'm glad that Mr. M. is at least feeling a little better and hope that things continue to progress. On the other hand, I'm not at all happy that the health system in your country is so bad and that you're having additional problems as a result. I'll keep my fingers crossed that everything turns out well in the end.
ReplyDeleteYour drawing is wonderful - a very expressive and pretty face.
The dark and scary pictures aren't necessarily pretty in my eyes, but they're very artistically designed. I think you would have enjoyed the horror film shoot where I worked as an extra in the past few weeks. I'll be showing a few pictures on my blog soon.
All the best, Traude

Your lady looks so realistic. You do exceptional shading. I can't get over how even her skin tone is. I creating face sketches when I have the time but I'm so far, far away from being anywhere remotely close to your level. I may never reach but I am enjoying it. What would help is if I isolate features and spent time just doodling those for awhile. I think I will try to work doing just that one day soon.
ReplyDeleteI hate reading things are difficult on the health front and you're having such a difficult time getting the appointments needed for your husband. Before pandemic it seems I had very little trouble getting in to see a doctor but nowadays it takes months. Thankfully, my concerns aren't super sensitive but when a real medical problem should be tended to pronto. Saying prayers things will begin to cooperate better for you. I know this adds to the stress.
Sending prayers, hugs, and love your way, Nicole!
