Spooky Show Your Face

Hallow Facers, welcome to the spooky edition of Show Your Face, if you are of a delicate constitution then you may not want to scroll downnnnnn...

 Mwahahahaha *Evil Laughter*

It's ok, it is only me, getting into the Halloween spirit! It's Show Your Face as normal but my share this week has a spooky twist.

Before we get started don't forget that next week it is November so we have a theme/ prompt - In The Style Of  - November 2015 (examine our favourite established artists, incorporate what they do through our own face practise) for anyone who wants to have an excuse to try something different. Totally optional, you don't have to use the theme or you can push your boundaries and give it a go, up to you.

Also the social media hashtag has evolved to #ShowYourFaceFriday thanks to the guys on Instagram for making great use of it and owning it!

Ok, let's Spook this!

 First up the admin...

Schedule:
  • In The Style Of  - November 2015 (examine our favourite established artists, incorporate what they do through our own face practise)
  • Focus On Eyes - January 2016 (break out of our normal practice and try different styles of doing eyes such as traditional, cartoon, manga etc. As suggested by Susana Magenheimer)
  • Inspired By - March 2016 (pick fellow Facers to inspire our work this month)
Feel free to let me know if you have any more themes or ideas for Show Your Face.


Don't forget:
  • Show Your Face is a community link up for portrait work in any style or medium.
  • the aims are to share, learn, practise, inspire, and be inspired.
  • to make sure that the face artwork is yours, if you use any stamps or templates to build the face they should be designed by you.
  • the link is open from 10 am (BST) every Friday and stays open for a week, so link away.
  • finished pieces, works in progress or retro posts (i.e. older works, not from this week) are all welcome.
  • to link back to the link blog post here for that week.
  • Spread the word on your blog/social media outlets and use the #ShowYourFaceFriday hashtag in social media.

My Share This Week...

A study of light and shade in a face

Scary? Not scary? What do you think? I didn't set out to make a scary face this week, I was just looking at the negative space on a very shaded face with a light source above and to the front. I like the added texture of the watercolour pooled in the brush strokes of the gel medium that I used to stick the book pages down.

    Brilliant spooky face, Kim. I really like how it didn't start out with any particular intention, but how the portrait kind of dictated how it wanted to be. It looks more mysterious than scary to me. Like Susi, I really like the text incorporated in the portrait! Happy Halloween. Hope you get lots of treats and no tricks. xx
