Friday Face Off 11/7/25

 

 Welcome To Friday Face OFF (FFO)

This is the place to show off your face art.

You know, ANY type of face, nature, the face of a flower, Photography, drawings, paintings. There just needs to be a face in your blog post.

 

Last week I mentioned that I found two sketches while I was going through some art paper. I showed the first one last week on FFO. Here is the second one.

I kind of remember sketching these but it must have been a very long time ago. I don't have the image of them. So, here is what this one looked like when I found him.

Then this. 

Close up 

 

Then this, as I was working, I hated it and didn't think it was very good. His eyebrows are too high, his eyes are flat and his mouth is dull. 

Close up. I don't know what I was doing. All of these dark lines around the eyes and mouth art not right.

 

When creating portraits some lines should be indicated. Shading should do the work. With that said, lines do need to be in place for the deep parts of a face, then shaded out. Anyway, that's how I do it. 

 This is what I love about art, you can change anything you want. Art allows us to be in control, to be free to make changes, improve and love what we create. Here is what he looks like now.

Eyebrows brought down, no hard lines around the eyes, and mouth.  

 I'm not sure I'm finished with him but I like him better now. 

 

It's time for some AI art.

Life for so many is pretty grim right now so I thought some happy AI is called for.

 

 

Let's see some features. 

The best part of FFO

Visit this bright and wonderful blog. It's filled with beautiful Art images.

Before I go, just a reminder of the Self Portrait Challenge. 

I ask that it is really you from any age. Please include the photo you worked from. If you are creating from life, like looking in a mirror, just show any photo of you now. 

Any medium can be used except a photograph. Ya know, you can't just put a photo of yourself. However, it can be realism, character, surreal, abstract as long as we can see you in the art. 

 Any kind of expression. Create you as you see yourself.  November 28, 2025 to show your face on FFO. That gives you 3 weeks to work on it. All Self Portraits will be featured the following week on FFO. I hope you join in.

Now it's time to show me face art.
