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.
As you know a week or so ago I decided to teach myself how to create with colored pencils. Quite a learning curve for sure. However, I absolutely love it!
My piece today is not finished by any means, but I wanted to show you how it's coming along.
I want to take some time to talk about the Self Portrait Challenge. (S.P.)
The basic rules are it has to be you. It can be at any age, it can also be a S.P. that you previously created. It can be drawn from life or a photo with any medium, except a photograph. You can't just put a photo up as your S.P. However, you must put a photo of you with your creation.
The other subject for S.P. is tracing.
Yes, you may trace your face.
I'm excited to see how all of you do.
Also this is not mandatory. FFO will run like always. Since I wrote this I got her ears in and fixed her nose a bit. The lips will have to stay and I will leave the hair. LOL. I do like her.
There is a challenge going on at NightCafe and it's about magical plants and creatures. Here are some I made up.
Then today I won some credits for this
It's time to see some features.
She writes, "I'm a homeschooling mama fueled by RedBull, chaos and love."

If you have never been to this site you are missing out.
Cathy has such a unique way of creating. All the detail is amazing.
That's it for me. Now it's time to show me your face.

I think you are doing really well with the colored pencils. The shading is certainly more difficult to achieve. You should try a test piece doing pointillism to blend colors..
I think the hair is looking good....sometimes just a suggestion is enough.
You've made a great start working with coloured art pencils! I enjoy that medium too, despite it being time-consuming to do all the layers of colours. Patience is not my strong suit, it turns out. Who knew?
And I love your vibrantly colourful fantasy landscapes! Those mountains! Those waterfalls!
Big WOW - you are a real artist, Nicole, she came out great!!!
Beautiful.
As your NightCafe-creatures.
I hope our future, though, is green and sunny with a blue sky...
Have a great FFO!
Working with colored pencils is a real challenge for me and it's something I don't master at all. The portrait that you created is beautiful, I like her face. I have no idea how you blended the colors - that's somethin I need to learn. Beside so many other things. Your AI creation are fantastic, so colorful - I love that!
Fantasic faces and spaces
Much♡love
The face is coming along nicely in colour. The other art is also nice.
I am sure it is both exciting and challenging to work with a new medium.
Nice drawings ...as ever...dear Nicole. And the night cafe pics are very impressive...though they are made with AI LOL.
Have a good time

...Nicole, this week you created a colorful world. Take care and be warm and well.
I like the color you're adding. And you know how to use colored pencils. I get so many streaks when I use them. Her face is beautiful. Finally got my art space picked up enough so I can work in there. Hopefully next week I'll have some time to work on my self-portrait. Happy weekend ahead. hugs-Erika
O seu desenho está ficando bonito, acho lindo quem sabe desenhar, desejo uma feliz sexta-feira bjs.
Happy Friday Face Off Nicole! Lovely artwork. I really love the portrait so much. You are truly amazing at realism. Lovely features and digital art too! Have a wonderful Friday and a lovely weekend! :)
Lovely portrait in coloured pencil Nicole!
Colored pencils are so hard for me -- I've never been able to master them. I'd say you are well ahead of the curve! Happy weekend.
Beautiful portrait work with the colored pencils ~ Awesome!

I like her and her white hair.
I liked all your fanciful, colorful pictures today! :)
Boa sexta-feira minha querida amiga Nicole. Sobre seu desenho, faltariam comentários do seu amigo brasileiro. Sua técnica é maravilhosa. E o desenho que você me deu de presente de aniversário, ficará sempre no Blogger. Muito obrigado pelo comentário. Grande abraço carioca.
Happy Friday, Nicole! The pencil crayon portrait you drew is wonderful. She looks very real. And your AI drawings are wonderful. I climbed up into my crawl space and dragged out my two boxes of art supplies. We'll see if I can come up with a self. portrait. 😂
Your self-portrait is a wonderful blend of patience, craft, and humour
I've not got the hang of mixing and blending with coloured pencils. I like your colourful creatures.
The sketch is great! I love the AI pictures too.
Your AI creations are so colourful.
All the best Jan
The face is excellent! I like the colorful, fantasy art.
I love it too! So glad you ventured to experiment with colored pencils. It's always so much fun to use new art materials and/or tools. I like the magical landscapes you created too. Blessings!
The sketche has come out well.. 👍
Your creation is wonderful, I like the color of the lips. Well done for making your creation in Night Cafe into the top 10%. I will visit Kathy's blog because you suggested it and I think it will be worth it. Your new challenge is extremely interesting. I am glad I found you well, because lately the lack of time does not allow me to visit you.
I hope you have a beautiful and creative week🧡.
Nicole,
I'm sorry I was unable to link up but thank you for the spotlight feature. I plan on joining this Friday. Anyway, you're doing a fabulous job crossing from graphite to color pencil with your portraits. I really like this first piece. I know you'll continue to excel! ;) Have a marvelous week, darlin'! xo
