Friday Face OFF -- Two Kids

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

Another assignment completed for
my "Portraits in Coloured Pencils" class.

This one was a lot of fun to do
except for those dreads, which
were hard to capture. Plus the hands --
hands are always hellishly hard, I think.

Luckily, our eyes here are
immediately pulled away
to that cute little goat!

I love to see your wonderful art.

Marie is right - you captured a sweetness in that face...and a joy in the eyes.

Kirk said...

Oh, don't shortchange yourself! The child is as cute as the goat--if not for the same reason.

omgosh hands are hard, and that hair! good for you it's gorgeous. Very impressed. My artist friend Rose said drawing it the hardest because every mark must be intentional. I want to draw better and capture subtle shadows. LeeAnna

🤘 No, Debra, you captured those dreads! Dreads have lots of variety and a young child having soft, easy-draping dreads is perfect! Both faces are cute and the eyes are wonderful, but I notice that goat has some imp gonna happen...and that's wonderful, too! 👏🫶

Mistress Maddie said...

It's good Debs! But if it's really challenging maybe next time you should pick a bald kid!

Bill said...

Amazing and beautiful work! Well done, Debra.

@ Mistress Maddie -- Hahahahaha, don't think that thought hasn't crossed my mind. But the instructor always picks photos of people with lots of hair or wearing big hats that take even more work!

Wow Debra. This is an amazing drawing, all of it.

OK, the goat is cute but Debra, that child is exceptional. I mean this is the best I have seen from you. It is quite difficult to make a child look like a child. One line in the wrong place and the face gets older. You have capture the child's innocents. Not to mention the perfect shading, the interest in her eyes, the slight smile and of course her hair. This is just a stunning piece of art. Thank you for sharing it with FFO.
