Welcome To Friday Face OFF (FFO)
This is the place to show off your face art.
This
week I made time to draw. I was looking at some women with short hair
cuts. I found a lot. I really like this girl's face. I lost the original
photo.
Ahead of time my photos are not great at all. She started like this. One thing she had the weirdest nose. LOL
Then. The "fix" on my adobe did this to her lips. They are not this dark at all 
Then again, "fix" just doesn't like her lips.
Making some progress and a better photo.
She ended up like this.
I was watching a very short video on drawing faces. The artist was using a grid, which I can not do at all with dyslexia. I was just watching her draw, not paying much attention to what she was saying, when she did say, "You are not a copy machine." "It's impossible to get every nuance of photo down on paper."
This hit home with me. Lighten up, loosen up, so what if it doesn't look 100% like the photo you are drawing from. It is my interpretation.
I think this is a very good lesson.
Here are some of my AI art creatures.
Now it's time for the features.
Nuria creates some of the finest portraits.
clever designed art work that speaks to the heart. 
Sintra. A wonderful blog with daily music.
For FFO she played
Paul Mccartney Hey Jude. 
Now it's your turn to show me your face.

Beautiful face
ReplyDeleteAwesome art work ~ portrait and AI work too ~ hugs.
ReplyDeletean artist reflects
Whatever the medium, you are definitely an artist.
ReplyDeleteVery well done!!! Your artist is my Jamie Oliver. "You can do it like this or your way!" - that is how I love to learn - otherwise I´d not be cooking. To our own styles, learning casually from the great ones.
ReplyDeleteThis week's face turned out great. She is a beauty. I tried the grid pattern once and I STILL couldn't draw the image.
ReplyDeleteI love your AI creations. This week, my favorite is the lighthouse. Thanks for featuring my art this week. I think Nuria's face is out of this world.
Bravo! Très impressionnant. Autant les dessins que les réalisations en AI
ReplyDeleteI remember the days when we were expected to keep a field note book and draw what we observed, with indicators to key identification characters. As someone who could never even perfect a stick bird, I have great admiration for your indisputable talent!
ReplyDeleteAh, the "you are not a copy machine" goes perfectly with my piece for today. I said "I am taking artistic license...."
ReplyDeleteI love your face drawings.
Nicole! Happy Friday! I love the details of your drawing. Love the shading too and the eyes are very real and captivating. Wonderful artwork! The AI art is spooky! Wonderful features! Thank you for hosting a lovely party as always. Have a magical and wonderful weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a great comment. And so true. Thanks for the reminder. And it's interesting how in your final drawing the lips work perfectly, but you are right, before that they don't quite work. She is really lovely. Have a super weekend ahead. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteYour sketches make me so jealous. I think I might try to take more time on my 29 Faces in February, 2026
ReplyDelete...Nicole, let your light shine.
ReplyDeleteYou do such an amazing job shading. Your portraits always turn out nice. I have a long road ahead of me to catch up with you, but that's part of the fun. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday, Nicole. Kudos to you for making time to draw this week. Your finished portrait is beautiful. She looks like she's listening intently to what I'm saying, but definitely has her own, different thoughts about the topic. Well done!
ReplyDeleteBoa sexta-feira e bom final de semana. Obrigado pelo comentário das 2.500 postagens, minha querida amiga Nicole. A última foto é antiga, uma das primeiras do Blogger. Obrigado por tudo, minha querida amiga. Meu desenho, ficará no Blogger e no meu coração, gratidão.
ReplyDeleteI'm always fascinated by the faces you draw.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day, my friend! :) :)
thanks again!
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely face.
ReplyDeleteI think the face came out very nice. Love the spooky art work.
ReplyDeleteAll well done and I enjoy seeing your creativity!
ReplyDeleteI do like your AI creations, especially the lighthouse.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
The soul behind these pupils is gorgeous
ReplyDeleteMe encantó tu dibujo. Una cara preciosa. Te entiendo muy bien, mi nieta tiene dislexia. Ahora llevo un par de días preparando para el Face OFF. Las imágenes que hiciste con IA también me gustaron mucho. Muchas gracias por tus palabras y la mención que me animan mucho. En breve pongo mi participación. Un abrazo
ReplyDeleteHola corazón, ya acabado y presentado al Friday Face OFF, espero que te guste. Un abrazo

ReplyDeleteCoincidentally I am watching a show “Wayward “ on Netflix these days and a female character looks exactly like her 🤗
ReplyDeleteBrilliant art as always dear Nichole 👍♥️👍♥️👍

What a beautiful portrait! I totally agree with the instructor in the video you watched. Your artwork is not just your interpretation, but a part of you that you're sharing with the world. Blessings, my friend!
