For this week's Friday Face OFF link party
of art featuring faces, hosted by Nicole of
DVArtist, Art, Food, Gardening blog . . .
I've just started taking a
"Portraits in Coloured Pencils" class.
Our first assignment was to reproduce
a recent photo of the British singer Adele.
I don't know how good or close a likeness
I achieved, but it seems to me that
she DOES look suitably sad.
And isn't that Adele's calling card?
Are you a fan of her music?
I can't say I'm familiar with a lot of it.
I'm more of a Lady Gaga girl, myself.

you've obviously got an eye and a talent - keep it up!!
Hi Debra, I found the original of your drawing, and you nailed it exactly--hair, profile, makeup, mien. The hair looks so natural and good, that I am sure if Adele saw it she would immediately hire you for her hairdresser.

I am a fan and that looks just like her. Damn Debra. I love seeing your art. Happy Spring. Happy Weekend.
The coloured pencil drawing featuring Adele is exquisite. I knew it was her immediately without having to look at your wording - very well done.
I am a fan of your drawing
...and I'm a Janis Joplin kinda guy!
I looked at your drawing before reading all your words and my first thought was: ADELE! You did a great job; she's a fabulous artist with an amazing voice.
I adore Adele. I think she has a wonderful voice and many songs that bring a tear to my eye.
And if you hadn't said that was Adele, I would have known it was her; I think you did a wonderful job.
That does look like Adele. My favorite song by her has always been the first I heard her do, "Rolling in the Deep". I sing along loudly whenever I hear it on my car radio. :)
Absolutely looks like her. Yep, huge fan. Wanted to see her during her Vegas residency, but I needed both arms and legs more than I needed to see her in concert.
Ohhh very nice!
Love Adele! And love the contrast between her awesome singing voice and her riotous speaking voice.
Sheโs my replacement Amy Winehouse, btw. Just because.
XOXO
Beautiful work. I do know Adele and many of her songs, I just go with those who have beautiful voices and lyrics.
Well done.
Gorgeous painting of Adele ๐๐ผ๐
I don't known about her privit life, but she has got many international ๐for her music as a Grammy.... e.t.c
Have a wonderfu weekend ๐๐ผ๐
I am not really a fan but I have heard her hits. Nice likeness - I knew immediately who it was.
Beautiful portrait art work ~ Wow!

Well done, I love working with my coloured pencils.
Very well done!!! And bit sad-looking indeed.
You're an excellent artist. I love both Adele and Lady Gaga.
I don't know Adele, but your portrait of her is fabulous, love it Hugs!
Well done... I can't do faces. I must say that I have not tried very hard because I never succeed. Looks just like Adele. To me her music sounds pretty much the same... Recognizable.. but I'm not familiar with very much of it. Enjoy your weekend.
This is a beautiful portrait of Adele -- the hair and skin shading is perfect!! I've heard her sing on TV, but I'm not a big fan of Adele or Lady Gaga either.
I have no idea what Adele looks like but I do like your drawing -- it's lovely and your technique is really nice! Thanks for popping in today!
Wow, that came out great.
I think you nailed it! She does look like Adele.
I do like her music, and my daughter is a big fan. Last year she saw Adele live in Munich and she really enjoyed the concert. She sent me a lot of pictures and short videos, and during her performance she wasn't sad at all - she was actually quite funny.
Beautifully done, Debra. I like Gaga too.
You have definitely captured her essence. Yes her music is a tad depressing
She definitely looks like Adele. What a great drawing. Have a super weekend!
I prefer Lady Gaga, too, but it's a good drawing nonetheless.
Awesomely done ๐ฏ๐ค๐ฅฐโฅ๏ธ
She looks sad I agree but no one can doubt her aliveness ๐ฅฐโฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธ
You have brought her to life with your magic of art my brilliantly talented friend Debra ๐๐โฅ๏ธ
Beautiful job on the portrait. I am not familar with Adele's music. I suppose I should go off to YouTube and remedy that.
I immediately knew it was Adele, and she is difficult I think for portraits because she has very regular features. I love her music.
Well done it does look like her.
I of course have heard of Adele but not a fan of her music. I'm not sure if your art is a likeness or not, however, the piece of art is stunning. You have a special talent and it lends over to color. Thank you for sharing with FFO.
