Happy face-day! Who is up for sharing faces? Yay! Let’s DO IT!
Show Your Face!
First up the admin, nothing new if you read all of last week’s Show Your Face blog post.
Schedule:
In The Style Of – November 2015 (examine our favourite established artists, incorporate what they do through our own face practise)
Focus On Eyes – January 2016 (break out of our normal practice and try different styles of doing eyes such as traditional, cartoon, manga etc. As suggested by Susana Magenheimer)
Inspired By – March 2016 (pick fellow Facers to inspire our work this month)
Feel free to let me know if you have any more themes or ideas for Show Your Face.
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 #ShowYourFace hashtag in social media.

My Share This Week…
Back to scribble faces for me and this week I’m working on a journal page I started way back in June/July this year. I added a bit of gesso to the colour and scribbled away with a black Derwent Graphik Line painter pen.
It is kind of fun working on a textured page as you can’t quite predict how the pen is going to move.
Over To You…
Link your faces artwork and spread the word on your blog and/or social media, hashtag #ShowYourFace . Please do let anyone you think would be interested in sharing their portraits know about our community here.

Hi Kim, I have a plan for this week! Not sure when it'll get down to it, but I'll be linking up some time! I love your journal page this week. That textured background is fabulous and I love the idea of how working on it creates that sense of unpredictability. xx

Thanks June π
A wonderful journal page! Love how the face partially emerges from the beautiful background! Thanks for the lovely comments on my blog! XXX Claudia
Thanks Claudia π
I love the way you can see those background arrows coming through on the centre of the face. I'm really enjoying the way I can instantly recognize yours and a lot of the "facers" styles as soon as show your face pops up on my screen, I kind of play a game with myself to see if I can match the faces to the artist who did them, before I click on their box. I think I've got about an 80% strike rate. Quick question Kim, could you please explain how I link back to your blog, where a person can click it, and come straight to this blog, so I can write in my description click here to visit etc. And I don't think I'm hash tagging properly, because just #show is highlighted, where as I think the whole #show your face should be, can you help, thanks kim, and thanks for being a super host and innovator of show your face.
Hiya Tiffany, sorry for the delay getting back to you I've been away from the t'internet on a bit of a holiday. So I'm not really sure how to do the link on Flickr. Have you tried to just pasting in the URL in the comment box, I think that is what I do on mine? Hope you have had a fun week. Kx
great texture…and love the scribbliness too!
Thanks Dianne
