Friday Face Off 12/5/25 new challenge

 

 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.

 

I have decided to have another challenge. You will have plenty of time to get this one finished. 

The challenge is to create a portrait of anyone you want. It can be your family, friends, actors, faces you find on the internet, or a perfect stranger that will allow you a photo to work from and to show with your portrait. You can work in any medium, except photography and you have until Friday January 30, 2026.  Make it fun and let's see what you come up with.

Before I get started with my art this week I want to share with you what Mr. M. ordered for me. It's a Global pencil case.

 I'm very impressed with this product. The zipper is heavy duty and the entire case is very well made. 

This week I have a colored pencil piece that I created. I am enjoying the pencils very much and finding all that can be crated with them. 

This is the original piece

and here is my version of him. I think I got his likeness pretty well.

I love the intensity of his eyes and his broken nose. There are so many different techniques with the pencils. The guy above is light touches and some hatches.

 I showed this next photo in any earlier post. It is created with many layers going in different directions. The darker the color the more layers and a bit more pressure.

I really am having fun with these.

No AI today. I want to get right into all of the amazing portraits that were posted last week for the Self Portrait Challenge.

I put too many boxes in, and since it is one single grid I can't change it.

I just want to say that each and every one of you talented artists outdid yourselves with the Self Portraits. I'm honored to know all of you, even if it is in blogland. All of you inspire me to create better.

I hope you had fun with this and that you will join in the next Challenge.

Now, it's time to show me your next face.
