If you go back to the beginnings of this blog (all the way back to Jan 1 2007 yo, you'll see how much my style has evolved over the. past almost 18 years. One of the things I'm proudest of is how I draw faces now, as I can identify key moments in my life when I started drawing differently after practicing, experimenting and observing more. Since I like to draw faces without copying from pics, they're certainly not as realistic as one that is based on a photograph. But I like to think my imagination and hand has evolved to the point that my faces look like they could be drawn (ahem) from real people.
With this one, I'm proudest of how his lips protrude. It's such an odd thing but I just feel like it looks to me to be as believable a face as ever, compared to the many faces I've done before, in that particular part where the cupid's bow meets the fullness of the top lip.
