Notice! Starting next Friday 2/12/26 Friday Face OFF will be posted on Fridays at 1:30 AM PST in the US.
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, a link back to my blog and please use the image below. Thank you.
I have several portraits going at one time right now. Two of them are on paper I absolutely dislike. Too much tooth for blending. If I finish them I will show at a later date. 😁
Today I have a colored pencil piece that I created several months ago.
She starts like this. Well, it's the only process photo I took.
The first week of this year I showed this photo. I found her in some of my art papers and thought I should try to make her come alive.
Here she is now.
AI art exercises the brain. You have to create prompts to achieve the results you want. Try it, it's free.
Textured face
Hope you give it a try.
Now for the features. These are the wonderful artists that joined in the last FFO portrait challenge. I'm very impressed with each and every one!

Hi Nicole! I've never been the first one to link, so it feels odd. LOL! Thanks for featuring my humble portrait of Liam amongst such marvelous other artists. I like your new color portrait, with its cubist art feel. I'm also glad you finished up that cute freckled faced young lady, that is so impressive. Blessings, my friend!
ReplyDeleteGreat faces, Nicole. Unlike my attempt on Mom´s!!! I just bought oil pastel Ingo at once put in the fridge. And I have no paper to draw on anyways. But I´m at that! Have a great Friday.
ReplyDeleteYou have probably created a city worth of faces in your career! Think of a city where all the citizens have faces that you created. That's pretty cool
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed looking at these.
ReplyDeleteTous ces dessins sont vraiment tous plus étonnants les uns que les autres.
ReplyDeleteHappy that one of my AI generated faces is featured
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday
Much love
...Nicole, you have created a wonderful community of creative people, congratulation. I'm honored to a member. Be well.
ReplyDeleteIf ever I decide I’d like my portrait painted, Nicole, I am going to send you a picture!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday. You have some really fun AI pieces here today. I love the texture overlays.
ReplyDeleteI like your first image finish today. She makes me think "pissed off teacher" when I look at her. I am not sure what you were going for, but that is what I see. I love it.
Two fascinating portraits, Nicole! I like Miss Freckles' nose ring and her dark flashing eyes! And as for Nurse Ratched, I'm glad MY turkey neck isn't blue, hahahaha!
ReplyDeleteBoth of your faces are great Nicole, but I especially like the colored pencil one. That one has some unique color features and that color really makes her look like she's coming off the page into reality. I think it's because we see people in color and I just love color anyhow. Have a super Friday and start to your weekend.hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteWonderful portraits you made Nicole and nice to see the Portraits together for the face off challenge.
ReplyDeleteWow! Great series of portraits ~ like the updated one '~ hugs,
ReplyDeleteps. Thanks for including my created portrait
Wow all the portraits are wonderful! Lovely post Nicole. I really adore your portraits. The first one, I love the green and the way you have the pencil colouring, the line work gives her a strong character. I love it! The lighting and shading as well. Wonderful! The second piece is just as amazing, love the details and it's so realistic! I adore your artwork. Thank you for hosting a wonderful party. It's lovely to see everyone's work up on your blog. It's like a lovely art gallery. Have a wonderful Friday and a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteHello dear Nicole, as I told before, I am not very talented in drawing, so I did not take part in your competition. And I do not use AI either...even if you can create impressive things as you show us every week. I like your drawings more.
ReplyDeleteHave a good time and all the best

I like how you did the shading on the portrait. It's very interesting (in a good way!)
ReplyDeleteYour first lady looks like and old school marm, Ha ... you know, the ones that carried a ruler around the room and would swiftly wack your hands if she saw something she didn't like :0 Your second young lady is beautiful and I love the freckles. I still await your lesson on AI. I have tried it and can make things but I was wondering if you can prompt it with a photo, and if so, how do you do it? Hope to see you Sunday in "SITAR".

Hi Nicole, yes, I can do a post for Sunday in the Art Room about black Stonehenge paper and the white pens I used, but it will have to be later this month -- Sun Feb 22, if that's okay.
ReplyDeleteWell done. I shall have to have a go with Night Cafe, I keep forgetting.
ReplyDeleteFreckling would be so hard to perfect in sketching
ReplyDeleteNicole, congratulations for the challenge and such great participation!!
ReplyDeleteArt is truly created here!!
Beautiful art from everyone. Big congrats to all.
