Welcome To Friday Face OFF (FFO)
This is the place to show off your face art.
It's been a crazy week. Lot's going on medically and the bills are pilling up. My perspective on this is, there is nothing I can do about it. Worrying will only make me upset and more ill. So the bills will get paid as I can. I'm sure some of you know how that is. So, how do I relax and forget about it? I draw.
This week I used one of my AI images as my muse. For me I really like the softness of her face. It starts like this.

I also worked on some monster AI art too. Come on, there is already Halloween items in the stores. LOL
I would love to make this in my monster art room
And so for my readers who don't like dark art and I don't want you to have nightmares. Here is something pretty that I created.
Now for some amazing features.
First we have Cloudia. Need inspiration? Head over to her blog.
Next is Arnoldo. I met Arnoldo may years ago blogging. I love track of him and now he is back and is now an Episcopal Priest as well as an artist.
is the beautiful Melody Jacobs.
She presents some wonderful blog posts, and is where I learned about
smashed cucumber salad. LOL
It's your turn to show me your face.

Your woman's face turned out terrific! You are getting SO good at hair! I love the highlights and how it sweeps back and up away from her face
ReplyDeleteI love to see how the shading changes the face in your drawing. It's really interesting and I enjoyed seeing how the drawing developed.
ReplyDeleteI am always amazed at how your works progress. I see the push and pull as you add and lift to get it just right.
ReplyDeleteHope every one has fun with face off.
ReplyDeleteLovely portrait Nicole! So sorry about the bills.
ReplyDeleteWOW!! Thank you for sharing how you created, Nicole!
ReplyDeleteAnd the AIs are very cool, too.
Both your hand sketches and AI arts are fabulous to see
ReplyDeleteI always find it fascinating to follow the development of your portraits, and have always been mightily impressed with the finished work. You have serious talent!
ReplyDeletethanks a lot for these amazing handmade and IA artworks. Have a nice weekend
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Nicole! I hope things went well at the dentist. I was getting ready for my cataract surgery when you stopped by before your appointment. I'm 2-days post-op and am doing well. My vision is good but things haven't settled down yet.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a FFO post this week but do have one scheduled next time, though. I love how you shared the progression of your portrait. This is just fabulous! I hope I can shade as well as you. Her hair is so pretty with the highlights in the right places. Nice job!
Have a doodletastic weekend, m' dear! xo
That face really is wonderful, and she looks a bit worried. Perhaps she (like most of us) has bills too. He hair even looks glossy the way you drew it. I love it. I hope you have a super weekend ahead and maybe relax a bit too :) hugs-Erika
ReplyDelete...in the richest country of the world, health care shouldn't be a worry. Vote the GOP out in the midterms! Nicole, be well.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the step-by-step of your drawings! She is wistful and beautiful. Have a great weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteYou draw so well ~ enjoy it better than AI ~ I am so vintage ~ lol ~ hugs to you ~ Happy Weekend ~ more hugs,

Madre mía!!! Qué buenos dibujos has creado, me encanta como ha sido la evolución y el final. A ver si logro llegar que tengo la casa llena de gente está semana. Impresionante. Los blogs recomendados ya los visitaba. Un abrazo
ReplyDeleteYour artwork is lovely including the spooky ones.
ReplyDeletethank you!
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to see the different photographs of how you progress your artwork.

You have vision and the skill to see it though. That is enviable.
ReplyDeletethanks again
ReplyDeleteWow, I love that. Your drawing is so nice. I cannot draw stick figures so nothing like this is coming from my hands.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Nicole!!
ReplyDeleteYour portrait is perfect and so are the images from artificial intelligence.
I understand you so much, when there are health problems, usually finances are not going well, try to put them on a schedule so they don't get you down.
What can I say, I'm trying to be calm, whether with blogging or with artistic things. I hope everything goes well!!
So sorry to hear that you're ill and that your medical bills are pilling up. I will add you to my prayers, Nicole. Art can be a blessed meditative tool, so thank you for sharing your work. I can struggle with hair sometimes, but you did an amazing job with it in your portrait. It looks very lively. Thanks for featuring my Mickey card. Happy FFO, and Shalom!
