Face Study

I've kept a tearsheet of an old Armani Occhiali ad because I loved the model's bone structure. I've always felt uncertain about how to draw the teeth underneath the cheeks when seen from a 3/4 view, the same with where the eyes meet the cheekbone. So I always thought I should use it as a reference one day, and it seemed like today was the day.

I wasn't trying to get a firm likeness - it actually veers away quite a bit from the model's facial proportions although still maintaining the shapes of his features. But I did want to render his facial structure and all the shadows if for nothing but to learn how to draw his type of facial details. I like it. I especially like the fact that I didn't feel compelled to get a likeness, or be very precise with all the details. It's rather unlike me.
