Show Your Face Inspired By June Walker

Hey Facers, I hope you have had a good week. I've been up against some tough deadlines this week so I've not yet managed to get around everyone's links from last week yet, so a MASSIVE SORRY and I hope to get around them soon.


So don't forget we are in August so we are doing Show Your Face Inspired By {INSERT NAME OF A FELLOW SHOW YOUR FACER}. If you need more information then please hop back to last week's post.

Please make sure that:

  • The face artwork is yours, any stamps or templates you use to build the face should be designed by you, just as with the usual #ShowYourFace.
  • The person(s) inspiring your work is part of the #ShowYourFace community, but they don't have to be a regular linker.
  • You name the person or people that inspired your work and link to them.
  • You link back to the link blog post here on my blog for that week, just as with the usual #ShowYourFace.
Don't forget it is optional!

This is a no pressure linky so please feel free to carry on with your normal #ShowYourFace share if you haven't been able to do a #ShowYourFaceInspiredBy. It is just a bit of fun and if you have enjoyed it we will no doubt do it, or something similar, again.


For anyone new here, this is a regular place to come and inspire, be inspired, but above all to share our portrait progress week by week. Every Friday at 10 am (BST) a new Show Your Face blog post goes live with the linky to add your blog post or online gallery picture to with any portrait work you have been doing.

Your face can be drawn, doodled, painted, stitched, be made using any materials and can be any style, all I ask is that it is your artwork. If you use templates, stencils or stamps to build the face anatomy, then they should be ones you have made yourself and not someone else's.

Finished pieces, works in progress or retro posts (i.e. older works, not from this week) are all welcome, so come join in and spread the word on your blog/social media outlets. Use hashtag #ShowYourFace if you like!


Looking For The Blog Button?
If you want to wear the blog button with pride then hop on over to Show Your Face 31st July 2015 to grab it and there are instructions on how to put it on your blog there too.


So my share for Show Your Face Inspired By is inspired by June Walker.

I love the way June uses colour in here faces. I love the way she uses hot and cold colours and how, for me, they seem to show light and shade. So I thought I would have a bit of a colour play in my art journal with my face this week. I've used Derwent Intense pencils but I've left the colours pretty loose and played with major shapes.

Over To You...
Link your faces artwork and spread the word on your blog and/or social media, hashtag #ShowYourFace and/or #ShowYourFaceInspiredBy for those of you that use them. Please do let anyone you think would be interested in sharing their portraits know about our community here.

Catch you later Face-Artinators

    Hi Kim. I love your colourful face. It was fun to see someone else's take on this style. I've never used inktense for these female faces...its very effective and I may try that medium sometime. I haven't managed to do one in another of the facers style... so far. Rather a lot on my plate. But its early days. Cheers.

      Thanks June, I love your faces and it was fun to use colours in a similar way to how you use them. Thanks for being my inspiration this week and hope you get a chance to play along with Inspired By this month, but easy come, easy go, if you don't, don't worry about it! Kx

      Thanks Susana, it is definitely a fun style to try out! It made me look at my face in a whole different way, much like doing the small art you inspired last week. Fun! Hope you get time to give it a go :) Kx

      Thanks! It was super-fun to have a go at and it really did make me look at the face in a different way. Hope you have had a chance to have a go at Inspired By but don't worry if you don't get the time, I have a feeling we will do it again in the future.

    I've been really impressed by June's work since I started linking up with Show Your Face. You have really 'rocked' her style too! Love this, Kim - wonderful colour play! Life's busy, but I'm going to try to visit as many blogs as I can in the coming week! x
