Description
I would've put this in doodles and sketches, but I'm sharing this with others participating in 's trek through the books of Andrew Loomis. The book we're going through now, Fun with a Pencil, is awesome in a big way, even if I got lazy in some of the sketches from this week.Related content

I think it's really interesting how people's unique styles are retained, even with a similar exercise. You'd think the shapes would force people to adopt a specific style, but so far everyone's have looked quite unique! I really like the expressiveness on these too! Especially Granny.

It is pretty interesting! There's a certain amount of similarity in the more rounded features I think, but you're right about the styles. And I'm glad you like Granny; it's funny, because expression has been something I've struggled with in the past, but lately I'm getting quite a bit better at it.
Thanks again for sharing Loomis with us; there's very little chance I'd have come across these on my own, and already I think working through these is helping me.

It is my pleasure to share. Since he's not widely published anymore, it's very hard to find his books, but I think they're really easy to read and work with! I think we're all going to learn a lot by working on this project together!

Eee! These ARE interesting, in a good way. I like the guy on the top left - for some reason he reminds me of a carnie. Not sure why.

But yes, I'm glad you like these!

Sometimes, though, those imperfections and improper proportions are what give a face character. After all, not everyone's face is in perfect proportion to what the IDEAL is.

You make a good point! I think that's one of the reasons why some of my bigger mistakes go unnoticed until I'm finished: I obsess over little things that don't matter to the point that I'm too worn to focus on anything else.
But yeah, I'll keep your words in mind next time I go to make faces.

Goodness knows some of the mistakes I make in my art end up being boons in the long run.
