We had an exercise with the drawing group recently.
We were supposed to draw 100 faces.
I haven't drawn faces since high school
(a long time ago in a decade called the 70's)
Drawing that many faces uses a lot of paper.
I've been collecting old encyclopedias and the like
It's good practice.
I kind of like this guy
I also was using a vintage hairdressing book.
The pictures were rather stylized to begin with
( someone else's drawings)
Sorry I don't remember who, but thanks whoever you are
This was so easy and fun after I figured a few basics on drawing faces
like where the ears and eyes might oughta be ideally
I'm having some fun with this exercise and can see utilizing some of these pieces in collage.
I hope you check out the link, I must warn you it's habit forming, even addictive.
ooo - i got that link from someone's blog too and i can't remember where. Love the look of the faces on the encyclopediia pages. i especially like democritus without his hat.
