Friday Face OFF -- Ice Cream Fan

For this week's Friday Face OFF link party
of art featuring faces, hosted by Nicole of

I'm trying to develop an art practice of
rapid sketches drawn directly in permanent ink
(no use of pencil or eraser, yikes) and then
painted with a quick watercolour wash.

I'm pleased with how this one turned out.


Who doesn't enjoy a nice
ice cream cone in the summer?

What's your favourite flavour?

Mine is tiger tiger
(also called tiger tail in
some parts of Canada).

Your 'Ice Cream Fan' is a great image - Rum & Raisin or
Damson & Sloe Gin are my favourite ice cream flavours.

Hello Debra, Well, specialty ice creams can be good, but in my ice-cream-eating days I always came back to a good vanilla or French vanilla. Of the flavored ones, my clear favorite was coffee.

Vegan chocolate....it is REALLY dark and chocolatey...not just for vegans! Combine that with a Mango sorbet....lush 😎🙂

...ice cream can be an everyday treat!

Parnassus said...

Oh, your ice cream eater exactly captures the necessity of attacking the cone in a manner to control the melting or dipping ice cream. Other desserts, like cake or cookies, will wait for you, but ice cream cones are by nature interactive and require some strategy. --Jim

I don't know that type of ice cream. I love coffee based ice creams, which aren't big any place but here in New England. Your sketch is fabulous Debra. I bet that lady is definitely enjoying her treat. Have a super weekend. hugs-Erika

Very nicely done! For me, it's usually any flavor that includes chocolate. :)

My favorites--that's a hard one. Rocky Road is one, as are Cookies and Cream, and Mint chocolate chip. And that's not all of them!

Your sketch came out terrific! Vanilla is my favorite ice cream flavor.

Christine said...

You are amazing and brave! Turned out great!

I don’t have one favorite flavor. I have a LOT of favorite flavors. Your sketch is absolutely wonderful!

Good job. I've never met an ice cream I didn't like.
