Friday Face OFF FFO

 

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, AI. 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.
After last weeks drawing a bird I have become entranced with drawing bird heads. So this week you get this one.
Starts like this. 
I used graphite for the beak. 
 
Getting color in 
Ended like this. I tried to get a better photo of the eye. It's very shinny and looks wet but my camera won't capture it.
I've not been very well these last 5 weeks and I'm just trying to use my time creating fun art. Not going for realistic. 

Some AI faces 


Now for some features.

A reminder that FFO 
Portrait Challenge is April 24.
Create an image with 
one or all of these expressions
Happy, Sad, Tired, Surprised and or Anger.
 
Also, join in with SITAR. Anything art.
That's it for me. 
Now show me your face
Nicole

    Hello, my dear!
    A wonderful drawing of a bird, probably a parrot.
    I also felt bad and still do. The medication gives me a rash.

    Best regards, and have a good Friday.

    Oh, that sucks, 5 weeks already. All my best wishes, energy and hugs on the way to you, dear host! And I love that bird and you reminded me... I bought charcoal-pencils yesterday and the black things still sit in the black backpack! I´ve overseen and forgotten! Best wishes to Lupus taking a huuuuuuge holiday!

    I am really enjoying the bird heads you are creating. I am amazed at the way the feathery parts are all just lines, yet have a look of soft texture.

    Your bird head this week is another fabulous drawing. I kind of like the not 100% realistic, but you can still tell what kind of bird it could be. You definitely captured the details. Another awesome piece my friend. I hope you feel better soon also. Hugs-Erika

    I love your new series of bird portraits! This one looks very cheeky, like it is plotting some mischief or another! That eye is just terrific!

    The bird is beautiful. That hooked beak could do such damage.

    I love you bird drawings ... probably because I love birds and you certainly capture their allure. So did you capture the wet look of the eye in your drawing even though the camera wouldn't capture it? If so ... how did you do it? I have tried making things look wet and haven't figured it out yet. So if you are willing to share your technique, I would love it :) As always a great post, Nicole. Hope you start feeling better soon ...
