For this week's Friday Face OFF link party
of art featuring faces, hosted by Nicole of
DVArtist, Art, Food, Gardening blog . . .
Well, you knew it was only a matter of time
before I would subject you to a
sketchbook portrait of a hockey player,
so here he is --
As usual, this was drawn directly in permanent ink,
without the safety net of an erasable
or changeable preliminary pencil sketch.
So of course, it doesn't really look
all that much like the player it's based on.
His eyes are clearly too big (and look at
his dreamy eyelashes, hahahahaha).
I think I did well with those sharp cheekbones, though.
If you know your hockey players and
want to take a shot at guessing who this is,
feel free to go right ahead, LOL!

It could be Leon Draisaitl, Connor McDavid or Evan Bouchard, but I think it's Connor McDavid. Do I win a prize?!?!
@ Tundra Bunny -- I should have known I couldn't fool YOU! Yes, it's supposed to be Connor McDavid. You get a Gold Star!
I don’t know your/any hockey players, so I looked them up. Like Tundra Bunny, I think it’s Connor McDavid. (Does Ben Affleck play hockey? Never mind; nothing like Ben Affleck.)
@ Moving with Mitchell -- Another Gold Star!
...Debra, is it true that Canadians are born with skates on?
@ Tom -- Yes, it is true. And it makes childbirth extra fun.
Well painted, Debra, I agree you succeded with shading of the skin 👍🏼😃
Not a clue who this is but I would like to meet him.
This is astonishing. All ink and no erasures. I don't know Hockey but I know the KC Chiefs and would have tried to draw Travis Kelsey.
I like it, dreamy eyelashes and all, and I know nothing about hockey or players so I'm not guessing.
I don't all that many hockey players names-but I do know a few. I had to look up Connor McDavid though and I think you did a fantastic job. Now if he was on the Bruins, I might recognize the face. You can't tell with those face masks they wear when playing.
@ My name is Erika -- It's true that hockey players all do look very similar to each other, with with standardized helmets, eye shields/visors and practically every player having a beard these days.
I don't know any hoc key players, but your picture is great, very well done! Have a great weekend and a merry Christmas! Hugs!
he looks real to me and yes your details of cheeks and everything are awesome dear Debra
i am fan of your art AMAZING !!!
You are so good -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
🫢 Even after the reveal of who it is, I had to look up Connor McDavid. The first photo on Google looks like it may have been the one you used for reference. Your portrait is a very sexy, flattering rendition! What I love is that faraway, contemplative stare. I'm thinking, "I rarely feel remorse for my high-sticking penalties, but this time I may have gone too far." 😅
@ Cleora Borealis -- Hahahaha, yes, hockey players are well-known for their introspective, sensitive natures. I'm sure that's EXACTLY what he's thinking, lol!
Google image says it's Connor McDavid. So Google likes your sketch.
@ Mike -- I'm amazed Google Image could identify the subject based on that sketch!
Really looks like Nikolaj Ehlers but apparently based on above it is McDavid.
Of course it's Connor McDavid! Hometown fan girl with paints... I am surprised that you chose someone with short hair though. Maybe the next time can be one of those giant hairy Northmen with flowing locks, posed looking over his shoulder at you...
@ Contrary Guy -- I checked out Nikolaj Ehlers' photos and yes, he does look remarkably similar! Plus I learned he plays for my beloved Winnipeg Jets -- I'll have to take special note of him next time I see them play on TV.
@ e -- Oh, now you're just giving me IDEERS! I'll let you in on a secret -- I only drew Connor McDavid because that's whose photo my watercolours art teacher coughed up in class one day for us to draw. And I'm the only one in class who drew him. Everyone else wanted to do some boring landscape work instead.
OMGosh this is EXCELLENT!!!! His helmet with the visor is so well done. Thank you so much for joining FFO and have a wonderful weekend.
Wow...that is great!!!! And you didn't even have to do the missing teeth.
Beautifully done!
For head concussion awareness
Wow ! wonderful pen/ink of a hockey player ~ thanks,
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

That is a very good sketch.
Great sketch. I wonder who it is…not Gretzky since he’s long retired. I got nothing!
I don't know hockey players, but this one's a looker!
It been years since I saw a hockey game.
Connor McDavid! I cheated ~ 😂. Google Image Search found him right away, which is a testament to your artistic ability, my friend. I'm working on American football right now, trying to understand more of what is going on and trying to learn the Broncos' roster. There is a whole lot more going on than I suspected. I just liked watching all those buff guys running around ~ 😂 Take care!
I don't know who he is but I'd be happy if he asked for my number.
If you don't know who it is supposed to be so it really doesn't matter whether he looks like him or not. It's a good drawing of a nice looking guy!! Good job..
