This is the first picture in the book by Jack Hamm. Although this is a very bad copy of the picture it’s actually the best face I’ve ever done. Because I now have kind of an idea as to how mouths and hair are supposed to look when you draw them.
The only thing is that it’s not much fun to copy a drawing by some one else.
I think the next thing I’m going to do is print out a bunch of famous faces and try to draw them.
Looking at the drawing I see that I still have a problem with getting the left and the right side of the face symmetrical. At least in part this problem has to do with the fact that I cover the right side of the drawing with my hand while drawing the left side.
Maybe I should start with the left side…

Today I didn’t feel like making a ink drawing. Something more colorful seemed nicer.
Thinking about what I could draw I saw a jumble of multi colored face before my minds eyes. Most of them had yellow/red eyes so that seemed like a good place to start.
It’s a funny feeling seeing those two eyes on the paper staring ominously into to world and slowly forming an image as to what the rest of the picture could look like.
But as you can see I got stuck on the mouth and didn’t even start with the nose. Which is because I’m very bad with mouths and noses.
Doesn’t matter though, I have a book on the drawing of face.
Now you know what I will be doing for the next few days
