Art It Friday - Show Your Face

Yay Facers! It is good to see you for this week's portrait community share Art It Friday - Show Your Face.

If you haven't had a chance then go check out the amazing works from last week, some great inspiration if you haven't done your face for this week yet.

I was worried I wouldn't have a face to show this week, as I've been super busy with deadlines, but I made it by the skin of my teeth!

So I mentioned on Monday that I was trying to sort out my workspace, right? Get rid of all those bits of paper that I just can not throw out? Well this art journal page is another step in that direction.

Art Journal portrait with Stabilo and water

I've used up some leftover bits of digital papers that I had designed for some magazine work. After sticking the papers to my art journal I then added a layer of gesso. She was sketched out roughly with pencil then the details painted with a black Stabilo All surface pencil and a waterbrush.

So she has something old, she herself is new and she has digital too so I'm linking her to the Old, New and Digital Too challenge as well as the link up's mentioned in the ps. below.


So that is my share for this week,

Over To You...

You know what you need to do! Link your faces artwork and share the word on your blog and/or social media

Looking forward to seeing your portrait work.

Catch you later Face-Artinators!
Kim

ps. If your art happens to be from an art journal page then go link up with Julie Fei-Fan Balzer's Art Journal Everyday post. Or if it involves paint then link it up at Paint Party Friday.

    I love all the movement in this face Kim! Those digital papers in the background are a great idea too! I'm just off to link up what I did last week! I have had a bit of a mad week, but I just caught up with some of the amazing creations from last week. Not only is your work terrific, Kim; but you're attracting some incredible talent! xx

    WOW Kim how fabulous is your face, she is amazing and i love how you have drawn her on some of your own digitally designed papers. Her tilting head and huge eyes are amazing.

    Thank you so much for joining in with our challenge, you have made my day!

    Gorgeous background Kim! I never think to use paper that way - so now I have quite a lot of ideas pinging in my brain. I think I'm going to have to get the gesso out and start adding colour to my sketches - not sure why I am but I feel freer with just a pencil. Another great link up so thank you - going off to visit some peeps now x
