A Few of My 100 Faces

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)
Then I discovered an online scribbler on someone's blog
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.

  3. I love the way you are using the old pages to draw the faces. What a great idea.
    Drawing faces is not very high on my list or ability, the way you are doing it looks interesting.
