Hey Facers, massive sorry that we lost the link up early in last week and I’m sorry if it put you off coming back to link up. But the link is here this week – Wahoo! – so I hope you have been having fun with the Quick Draw prompt, as suggested by Gibby Frogett.
Shall we share again this week?
First up the admin…
Schedule:
- 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.

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…
This week another 2-3min sketch from me, more a sort of warm up sketch than I good sketch I think! So she is a coloured pencil line sketch. I’ve been doing a lot with coloured pencils again recently, it is one of my all time favourite mediums.

I decided to do some quick sketches using different colored pencils and I like it! Your lady looks lovely already.
Love this face, quick yet expressive!
