Show Your Face - Change Hands

Hello amazing Facers, it has been over a year now that I've been sharing my face art and encouraging you all to share your art too here on my blog with the Show Your Face link up. It has been a wonderful journey, I have met and made new friends through it plus I also got an opportunity to share how I draw my faces in a Craft Stamper Magazine video, which is still available by the way!

But now I think I have come to the end of my face and portrait journey for the time being as other artwork is taking over my time and I am finding that I am not drawing faces regularly in my week. So I've decided to finish the Show Your Face link and I'm sorry to say that this will be its last week.

I will still be here, sharing my art and creative life on my blog, on my YouTube channel, Instagram and all the other places you can usually find me, but the Show Your Face link will end this time next Friday.

I just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU to EVERYONE who has joined, watched, hopped the Show Your Face link. Thank you for joining me and sharing with me every week I have been inspired and amazed by all of you and I hope you have enjoyed it too!

But we still have a share this week so let's share!


First up the admin...


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 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.
• Using the prompts is totally optional and just there if you fancy playing along. You can still post your face work even if you haven't used the prompt.

My Share This Week...

For my last Show Your Face share I thought I would pick some of my favourite pieces from the last year and a bit. Top left is paint and pen, top right - charcoal, bottom left - ballpoint on crackle paint, bottom right my marker pen half face from last week.


Over To You...

Link your faces artwork and spread the word on your blog and/or social media, hashtag #ShowYourFaceFriday. Please do let anyone you think would be interested in sharing their portraits know about our community here.

Once again, thank you Face-Artinators for all your inspiration, comments, prompt ideas and links for the last year and a bit! Don't forget to pop in from time to time to say hi and let me know how you are getting on with your art!

My Share This Week...

This week I am posting a sketch and before you ask it was with my dominate hand even if it might not look it! I like the eye but I think the rest rather lets it down, I think the rest is too sketchy and doesn't match the style of the eye. I might try it again if I get the time.

So who is ready for a share?

I thought I would give the prompt a go, it is quite tricky! I sketched her with my non-dominant hand then decided to add a touch of watercolour. Mmm, interesting, I'm sure I will be trying it out again during this month.

Sketchy again from me this week and almost a doodle as I was working on some designs in my note book. It didn't take very long but I actually didn't time it. So I'm thinking around 2 minutes but knowing how I kind of get lost in what I am doing it could have easily been double that time!

My Share This Week...

For my share this week I thought I would carry on with my pencil sketch studies from last week but I wanted to work from a model and not having a model to hand I thought I would take some selfies and work from them!

Mmm, not sure I have hit all the angles quite right, particularly the foreshortening of the middle photo. But now I have a series of photos to work from for practise.

Over To You...

Show Your Face - Head Positions

Hello amazing Facers, it is another face work sharing day and we still have the fab Head Positions prompt running, as suggested by June Walker, for anyone who wants to give it a go.

Shall we share again this week?

First up the admin...

Schedule:

• Head Positions - May 2016 (try different head potions through the month. Suggested by June Walker)
•  Quick Draw Faces - July 2016 (set a timer to say 10-15 min - or less if you dare! - and draw a face or several faces in that time. Suggested by Gibby Frogett).
• Change Hands - September 2016 (try using your non-dominant hand to draw/ paint / make your face this month. Suggested by Hazel Agnew).

Remember all are optional prompts, you don't have to use them, they are there if you fancy playing, if not just link up your usual work as normal.

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.
• There is a prompt every other month. Using the prompts is totally optional and just there if you fancy playing along. You can still post your face work even if you haven't used the prompt.

My Share This Week...

I'm really glad that June suggested head positions for this month's prompt. I haven't really tried other views of the face than front, 3/4 or profile yet, so this prompt has given me a great excuse to push beyond my comfort zones a bit. This is very much a work in progress and just a bit of practice, I have no finished piece to show yet. I think I need more practice before I am happy to go further, but it is a start!

Over To You...

My Share This Week...

My share this week is a ball point pen sketch over crackle paint, unfortunately I don't remember whose crackle paint it is! I think it might be DecoArt Media. It is a tester page in my Junk Journal and I used a copper acrylic paint glaze over the top of the crackle.

Another piece from my class this week and this one was done from the same live model as last week's work. I've done the whole portrait using charcoal, which was a fun new experience for me!

My Share This Week...

I've just started going to my first ever formal art course, well since school that is and I don't really count school as it was so very, very (very) long ago and I actually dropped art as soon as I was able to, but that is another story for a different time. So I am counting this course as my first formal art course. It is run by my local council and is all about portraiture and emotion, sounds good doesn't it?

The second class was this week and we had a sitter to draw from, which was fun. We spent the class working to different set timed poses, 1min, 5min, 10min, 15min and 30min. This one was the 30 minute pose but I actually did a couple of sketches in that time so it was more like a 15min sketch. I've used watercolour, a water soluble graphite pencil and a charcoal pencil for this piece.

Have you been to any in real life portrait classes? If you have, what lessons did you learn from them, either positive or negative, that you are still using to make your art today?
