Show Your Face - Head Positions

May has arrived and with it a prompt for anyone who wants to use it. This prompt is 'Head Positions' and has been suggested by June Walker, thanks for the suggestion June, I am looking forward to seeing everyone's take the prompt if they decide to use it.

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.

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.


My Share This Week...


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!

    That is amazing! Even would my life depend on that, I am no way able to draw anything what is close to a figur, and I have tried enough. I used to use charcoal in my early days and I loved it. That is so versatile. Didn't use it since about 40 years though as I am into other stuff now.
    Show us more of that!

      Thanks Kartenkunst, I am glad you like it. Charcoal is something I want to use more of as I always like the way it looks but I haven't had much experience of using it. It was fun to give it a go and push myself out of my comfort zone!

    Love the charcoal portrait that you did. It's very expressive. I especially like that you can't see her eyes, very nice,
